When the Sports Lawyers Association was founded around 1975 there was another organization that was also known as the SLA. The other SLA (Symbionese Liberation Army) had an even worse reputation than many sports agents. For those of you too young to remember, they were a bizarre radical group that enhanced their already considerable noteriety by kidnapping and indoctrinating heiress Patty Hearst.
