Postures found in opinion of AFE agreement one-sided League has nothing to do with what is covered in the negotiating table and limits in an important manner the guarantees provided for in the above agreement despite having faced more serious problems at least in season 2010 / 2011. Does the League decided that this Fund is no longer valid if there are policy changes that will reduce their income, such as those coming from the pools, or if there is an amendment to the Bankruptcy Act according to the existing text to 29 July 2011?. That law is pending its final modification, probably in September, after it was approved in Congress on July 27.
