A free individual has the right to practice his/her trade. Under current law, even without a non-compete, a former worker cannot legally disclose intellectual property that is true trade secret. Many corporations want to enforce non-compete agreements because it gives them a competitive advantage, they do not want a well trained player playing against them with another team. These corporations have no sense of ethics and could really care less about individual rights.
