re: Player fires agent over losing 2million. UPDATED in OP

the agent didn't do his job, so that part is his fault.

Way to create a strawman argument though

^^^ this poster doesn't understand how a strawman works.

"attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and to refute it, without ever having actually refuted the original position

The original position is that it was his agent's fault. I am saying that it was in fact the player's fault. I didn't say that it was somebody else's fault. He should have read his contract. The fact that he didn't read his contract (or presumably listen to his agent after the contract was signed) is all on him.
