Don't feel bad for the players. If they have to sign 10,000 cards for some major company, it's because they agreed to do so...and for good money. Signing checks for your employees or signing for the UPS guy..sure..scrawl your name, nobody cares...BUT when you are signing an autograph for a fan, somebody who admires you..then yes, you need to take pride in your signature. A slash and a scribble tells me, the fan, you don't give a sh*t. As far as signing multitudes of cards for some company, how about this.. accept less money, agree on a reasonable number of cards and sign a respectable signature. But for this generation of entitlement and gimme, gimme, gimme for players in all sports/ multibazillion dollar contracts...I doubt taking less money for anything is in their vocabulary.
