Imposição de treinamento em separado ao atleta profissional de futebol – prática de assédio moral pelo clube empregador – hipótese de cabimento de rescisão indireta do contrato de trabalho

Abstract

Professional soccer players are idols envied by many not only for talent and fame, but especially for being well paid working with the core activity that is the leisure of most Brazilians: play soccer. This aura of prestige, however, conceal major problems and difficulties that these athletes go through. The so much discussed psychological harassment in labor relations, always recurring theme in forums of discussion and present in labor claims of our judiciary, also affects the players. This paper aims to deepen the study of psychological harassment in sports, especially in football, more precisely by the conduct of isolation of the athlete in training. Despite the fact of being considered “normal” in the modus operandi of clubs, this is a typical harassing behavior that constrains the professional, capable of causing the indirect termination of the labor contract. Although there are already judgments on this subject, the need for discussions and debates aiming to deepen the theme is defended. It is vital to build a solid legal position to reinforce the idea that the isolation of an athlete in training is undoubtedly considered a typical conduct of psychological harassment
