I see your point but don't you think sports fans have given athletes enough? Michael Jordan and Tom Brady might be living anonymous lives making minimum wage somewhere rather than the immortal sports legends fans have allowed them to become. Shouldn't you, I don't know, give back and make yourself more accessible? If you want to have a private signing so you don't have to be surrounded by a crowd I completely understand. If you're Michael Jordan with infinite endorsements, why do you need another $1,200 to write your name? All we're asking athletes to do is be reasonable.
I feel like athletes have this mentality that they're the talented ones so of course they're entitled to the money and fame and fans are entitled to nothing but entertainment. But the worlds most talented ping pong player isn't making anything. The reason is because he doesn't have any fans. Maybe we are important after all.
