saying the Georgia Supreme Co.urt had ruled that the baseball arbitration used for LOST
negotiations as unconstitutional in another jurisdiction, creating the potential for similar lawsuits.

Georgia (ACCG) reviewed the ruling, and the GMA sent an e-mail that Haddix received on
Octaber 11 at 4:25 p.m., which recammended readopting the LOST agreement. After this
