They are not fans. They are employees. When another company offers more money with better opportunities a vast majority of people would jump.


Employment contracts, especially those in highly specialized fields, frequently include non-compete clauses. These aren't people working at fricking Wendy's leaving to work at McDonald's for an extra $2 an hour. I know that all of the athlete empowerment types desperately want these guys to be able to do whatever they want without repercussions because they have somehow earned that right, but that's just not how actual employment works at this level. You can't treat a high stakes job in a multi-billion dollar industry like it's unskilled labor. Companies that pour a ton of time and resources into training and developing a highly skilled workforce tend to not just let them wander on over to a direct competitor without penalty.

Of course, but in this case, those contracts don’t exist.
At least not yet, and that’s going to be a fair amount of time in the future.
We aren’t getting help by next wednesday

Non competes are generally illegal in many states, and many non competes can only extend to book of business (client relationships)

You can’t blackball someone out of a job
