There are 0 good, well thought-out arguments against it in that thread, just a load of babies crying and following each other like sheep.

Man, get real. Any idea suggested that whose sole intent does nothing but UNDERMINE an entire team is NOT a pretty solid suggestion.
If people have issues with the Owner/Player balance they need to come up with suggestions that DON'T equate to SCREWING EVERYBODY ELSE on the team.
How anyone can look at that thread and the OP's suggested "cure" and say it is "pretty solid" is beyond me.
You miss the point to such an extent that you highlight precisely why it is such an interesting and effective idea. The fact that the team suffers would have all the other agents on it asking the owner "hey - what's going on with this guy?" so that the owner has to attempt to resolve the situation quickly, with the result that nobody gets screwed, or NOBODY GETS SCREWED in your terminology. At the moment, owners can rot players for entire seasons without the team suffering and this is wrong/unrealistic. The post in the link above explains it in more detail.
So what you are saying is that players should be given a gun and the authority to hold an entire team hostage - and that is a SOLUTION to a problem?
<echoing from the the lobby> My demands are that I be released, that I be released NOW and while you are at it I want a 100,000 bonus BEFORE you release me - or everybody else "gets it".......
Fail, miserably.
Wow. Just wow.
The only thing failing miserably here is your equating of someone being able to slightly reduce the chemistry of a team on one side of the ball every so often to them having a 'gun' and the 'authority to hold an entire team hostage'. Utter, utter, bs. Again you fail to understand that this is not the solution as per se, but would give the parties involved in disputes a large incentive to actually find a solution, something that is currently lacking. Further failure is that you are putting up an affront based on the flawed thinking that I want this implemented - I merely mentioned that it was in no way a bad idea and actually has generated some good discussion in the past. If you have a large enough attention span you might want to try reading page 9 of that thread now where some reasonable discussion actually starts, after 8 pages of "lol I'm a sheep who can't think for myself so I'll say this is a bad idea whilst not giving any reasons", and an equivalent thread linked from near the bottom of page 9. You seem to continue SHOUTING also, as if that is the only way to get a point across. This isn't the school playground so please try to calm down, get a more balanced perspective and actually start listening to other people.
I find it quite humorous that you need to go to such lengths to exaggerate your side of the argument to make it plausible mentioning guns, hostage situations and the like: 'My demands are that I be released, that I be released NOW and while you are at it I want a 100,000 bonus BEFORE you release me - or everybody else "gets it"....... a one point chemistry drop every few days!!!!!'. Stunning.
With the type of debating skills you are displaying I suggest that you could well get a job as a campaign manager for John McCain. Pure miscomprehension, exaggeration, pathetic personal attacks, and arrogance.If this is so harmless to a team - then why suggest it at all?
The whole point behind these ideas if for ways players can COUNTER-SCREW an owner for "supposedly" SCREWING them. Thats what this idea is born out of. It's a stupid idea - because it does nothing to solve the first problem - only creates a second one.
Your quote: a one point chemistry drop every few days!!!!!'. Stunning."
Ummm, this would make this the most useless "suggestion" in the history of suggestions - as teams recover 1 point PER DAY in Chemistry. So how on earth is this suggestion supposed to accomplish it's desired objective?
Again, utter fail.
