Competition law is not interested in pure sporting rules, only the economic activities connected with sporting events. I am the referee of the game of competition and not of the game itself. Pure sporting rules are rules inherent to a sport or necessary for its organisation or for the organisation of a competition. These are not subject to the application of competition rules.
As the Commission’s decision regarding the UEFA and DFB shows, it is perfectly possible to operate collective selling mechanisms that help provide solidarity payments and are compatible with competition rules. However, that means that collective selling must work to benefit fans and not just the clubs. Many leagues seem to think their first responsibility is to find different ways to make their fans pay ever higher sums. That cannot be right."@en1
