detrimental to the league is possible ground for dismissal. The Player's union has agreed with the league that this can be included in the contract. It is a contractural agreement between the team owners and players.

Do you sign a contract to work at a company? No you don't, and hence you are protected by labor laws (though even that is not saying much.)
