I’m not disputing that most, or all, sports operate this way or that on some level it could be desirable (that’s a whole other debate).

But when challenged in court on a point of law they need to be able to point to where legislation or legal precedents allow them to operate in this manner. I don’t see where this exists.

I’m totally against the idea and hope the courts do rule against clubs seeking to break away.
