Do you really need an explanation for this?
I understand WHY they outlaw that kind of stuff...

But what I am getting at is that athletes can have regular jobs... as long as they are paid "fair market value".

Why can fair market value not be determined when selling autographs?

Or doing commercials.

The only thing that we truly own in this life is our name and image. We should be able to use them as we please.

Unfortunately the NC Double Assholes don't use logic or common sense when writing or applying rules.

Because a booster might want to buy 20,000 autographs for $10 each. After all $10 is a fair price.
