Autograph Policies? w/video

The Ravens have decided autographs will only be signed after the morning session at Training Camp this year.  And, they'll only be signed for kids 6-16 years old. 

I have no problem with this.  I never understood why an adult had to have an autograph.  Even as a kid, I didn't care much.  But, that's me.  We all have hobbies, I guess.  But, the policies go into place because a lot of folks have turned a simple autograph into a business.  Only signing for kids won't change that.  Some guy will pay a kid $10 to have something signed.   Then a new policy will be set.

Well, before we freak out on the Ravens and the policy take a look at this video.  It's not an athlete - it's Johnny Depp - but, it is one guy.  Look at all the folks trying to get his autograph.  It's nuts.  Everyone in this crowd will thing Johnny is a jerk if he doesn't sign 'their' napkin.  People are never satisfied.

There must be some controls put on crowds seeking attention/autographs.  The crowds are growing at training camp.  The Ravens are smart to stop any potentially huge problems before something serious happens.
