That isn’t really a comparable situation. You’re talking about a personal relationship. You have many (more important) ways of supporting your daughter that don’t involve signs and pins, etc.

Additionally, there’s a huge difference between not actively doing something and refusing to do it when asked. Like you said, there is no expectation or demand for you to do those things, obviously there are more important things, but if she asked would you honestly refuse such a simple gesture? Would she be satisfied with “I just don’t want to”?

As for players’ reasons. Sure we might not be entitled to it, but like it or not they’re public figures and people are going to ask. It comes with the gig and their sizeable paycheque.
