Without reading it, common sense would seem to dictate that if you give an athlete a contract, assuming they are 30 and they are actually several years older, that would be enough to void the contract. Of course, common sense doesn't always win.

I added to my post after you quoted it. You're right. Like I said, absent the CBA, they would certainly have a basis to void the contract. But if, by contract (i.e. the CBA), they limit the bases through which a contract can be voided, that limitation is enforceable.
