Abstract: Objective: As a concept of sports law, sports rights have boosted the research of sports law. However, the expounding on the theory of sports rights is not sufficient, and the theory still faces the obstacles of cognition and implementation. The theory of sports rights should give up the emptiness of pan-moralism, and replace the rights discourse with the operational practical norms. Based on the situation of China, we should insist on the attitude of legal realism when strengthening the localized research. And strengthening the study of laws in other fields is the feasible path for the study of sports law.

Key words: sports rights, rights enlightenment, transformation, sports law
