The vast popularity that is related with sports competitions, the quest for the best score and profit by sports clubs and that all this universe rely on professional athletes its cause for, sometimes, registration of clauses and agreements that makes you wonder about their compatibility with the rights of those professional athletes. One of the limits concerning freedom of negotiation in this sportive law matter its precisely the freedom of labour right and free profession choice by the professional athlete. Anti rival clauses, they serve, at first the sports clubs interests and they are likely to violate fundamental rights of professional athletes and, for that reason, we need to beware this violations even if those happens in favour of the competition, profit or fans will. Sport is for everyone, but not at the expense of anyone.
