You could have Brady sign it "I'm not mad bro".

The dumb hipsters that marched on Wall Street should do a march on Foxborough.

sports nowaday is a business, you can distill it down to players/fans relationship but it's not that simple. you don't pay for that seat, someone else will....or they move to another city if enough fans don't show up. does bill gates owe me anything because i've supported his crappy OS the last 20 years? will bill clinton drop his 6fig appearance fee to talk at my school because we californians supported him?

does brady owe the "fans" who heckle his wife after a bad game? and he does sign plenty for fans who show up when he make appearances (he does choose to usually sign the cheapest items). it does come down to supply and demand. yes the $600+ is extremely ridiculous. i would never pay that, but there are people out there willing to apparently. no big thing. if collectors/investors out there are willing to shell out 10k for a stephen strasburg or mike trout refractor, good for them!

Every cent--every single one--a pro athlete makes comes directly or indirectly from the fans. Period.

Nuff Ced.

you can say that about anything: la lakers, ne patriots, samsung, sony, down to my mom's restaurant...doesn't mean she gotta babysit for her favorite customer.

and we're losing sight of the main argument, tom brady and his people can charge whatever amount they want. and we can decide if we want to pay that amount. the market will correct itself.

I'd prefer a

"Nah Son"

That's pretty much what I'd be paying for anyway.
