Before giving exclusive article rights you need to consider that your information may be "stolen" by scrapper sites. What position would that put you in if someone did this to your article and reposted it to another website other than yours and his. This has happened to us and it is something you have no control over. "Exclusivity" is very tricky!

It really all depends on what is more important to you. Is your goal to increase the visibility of your site or is it to make money from the creation of the articles?

Another option: Seems that you love the sport, so why not become an "authority" on the sport. You may opt for getting exposure on both sites with a link back to yours by providing full articles or give them monthly "tidbits" that they can publish on the sport. Thus creating a type of readership from their sites and new content for all ( these tidbits can be small bits from your larger articles...smaller bits seem to work better on the internet as longer articles are more apt to get abandonded before read to completion)

It really all depends on what you want to do with your site and what you want these larger sites to help you accomplish.
