Kelsey Plum's run-in with autograph seeker raises questions about proper etiquette
More than ever before, autographs on sports memorabilia are currency, not just nostalgia. Just about every signing it may seem is the first step to the secondary market, not someone's scrapbook. A recent incident involving the Los Angeles Sparks' Kelsey Plum is raising the question of what the etiquette should be when making a request. Should athletes just expect to face these asks whenever they step out in public, given that the people with pens are the new paparazzi? What's not disputed according to video of the incident is that Plum was outside the team hotel in Minnesota when approached by men with open books of trading cards for her to sign. The three-time WNBA All-Star is a player whose autographed cards are valued by collectors in the resale market. Plum felt it was 'weird' for men to be waiting outside of her hotel with books of things to sign and called them out for it. Advertisement 'Don't you find it kind of weird, like low-key?' she asked the autograph seeker about him being at the Sparks' hotel before they were. 'I'm a little turned off right now,' she added before saying she appreciated the fan and signing one card. For further context, teammate Dearica Hamby tweeted: 'We literally left for practice and changed hotels… so to be there the moment we got there after SWITCHING hotels without being like HEY WE'RE SWITCHING HOTELS was weird.' When the video of the encounter went viral, people took sides, with many coming out against Plum and in favor of the autograph seekers. The man in the encounter, Nick Pedersen, 'minneygraphs99' on TikTok, captioned the video by saying, 'Kelsey Plum is not a fan of the WNBA fans who like to collect her autographs.' Advertisement Pederson then attempted to defend himself in a Facebook group for WNBA fans. 'I asked Kelsey and she went ballistic and started calling me weird and I was 'turning her off.' Kelsey has always had something against male fans who want her autograph,' Pederson wrote. 'Autographs are a hobby just like fishing or sewing. It brings me and a lot of others happiness.' Through his eBay store, Minygraphs LLC, Pederson has sold over 3,000 items, including trading cards bearing similar after-market autographs. When asked on Facebook about Plum being uncomfortable with him knowing the new hotel where she was staying, Pederson said that there was no stalking involved since 'she's older than me.' He added that the account of her reaction to him knowing about the new hotel was, '100% true, but they went to a hotel one block down the street and they all had their suitcases in the morning before practice. They loaded them in the bus and I heard the bus driver say something about the hotel they were switching to. Nothing creepy involved.' Advertisement At Fanatics Fest over the weekend, autograph dealers and collectors were apprised of the incident and asked what the policy should be when seeking autographs from athletes in public places. 'If it's a whole bunch of items that you're trying to get signed and you see an athlete in public, it's probably not going to go favorable to you as a fan,' said Ray Bartreau of Black Tie Breaks in Safety Harbor, FL. 'These people are very busy. They're getting hounded for autographs all the time. I think the best etiquette is to ask nicely with one or maybe two items at the most. 'I do signings in volume where it's a sanctioned, paid event, and to get the athletes to those is harder (given) their time. They're being paid. So to catch them on the street and say, 'Hey, spend 15 minutes signing all of my cards….' I think that's a little reach. I side with the athlete on this one.' Zach Haire, owner of Sports Treasures in Knoxville, TN said, 'I've always felt if it's at a public place, but, you know, not a restaurant, I would never approach you at a restaurant, in their own personal space…. But if they're at the hotel and there's the barricades up and you're behind the barricade, being respectful, I don't see a problem asking an athlete.' Advertisement Fans waiting on line at Fanatics Fest for their purchased autographs in personalized signings to be authenticated sided with the player. 'I think first and foremost, you should have a lot of respect for that person,' Kevin Urbanczyk of Buffalo, NY said. 'And if that person doesn't want to give the autograph or needs that personal space, everyone's entitled to that personal space. If that (autograph seeker) went above and beyond, then, you know, whoever got the signatures had a good day.' 'Respect her space,' said Randy Singh of Paterson, NJ. 'It's not an official event for autograph signings. If she stopped to say hi or take pictures or something and you're like, 'Hey, would you mind signing one autograph or taking one selfie picture?' Then that's appropriate. And if she says no, just say, 'Hey, thank you for your time.' It's not an official signing event or appearance by that athlete. And you can't ask for multiple signings. One is the limit.' This article originally appeared in The Athletic. Advertisement Los Angeles Sparks, WNBA, Sports Business, Culture, Memorabilia & Collectibles 2025 The Athletic Media Company

Caitlin Clark's shooting woes continue as Fever rely on Aliyah Boston's career night for win over Storm
Caitlin Clark's struggles on the court continued on Tuesday night as the Indiana Fever needed to lean on a career night from Aliyah Boston to get past the Seattle Storm, 94-86. Clark scored six points in one of her worst shooting nights since she scored eight points against the Washington Mystics in a game last September. Her career-low was three points against the New York Liberty in a blowout loss last June. She was 3-of-13 from the floor against the Storm with nine assists, three steals and two boards. She attempted six 3-pointers but came up empty on each shot. Since Thursday's loss to the Golden State Valkyries, Clark is 1-of-23 from beyond the arc. "She'll be fine," teammate Lexie Hull told reporters after the game, via the Indy Star. "We're not worried about it. She's a great shooter, she's a great player. This happens to every player, every great player. She'll be fine." Boston, the third-year Fever star, had 31 points, eight rebounds, three assists and two steals while veteran Kelsey Mitchell had 26 points. Hull had 15 points and 11 rebounds. The Fever needed every basket to halt the Storm's winning streak. Seattle came into the game with a three-game winning streak and winners of six of their last seven. Skylar Diggins had 22 points and six assists for the Storm. Erica Wheeler added 20 points. Indiana got back to .500 with the win at 7-7. Seattle fell to 9-6.

Tampon Startup Sequel Enters The Big League With Indiana Fever Sponsorship
Amanda Calabrese (left) and Greta Meyer (right). courtesy of Sequel Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull knows that in the three years since she went sixth overall in the WNBA draft, most fans have forgotten that she holds both bachelors and masters degrees in engineering. But this background—forged at Stanford University, where she also played ball—was just the beginning of a long-term connection with Stanford-founded tampon startup, Sequel. Hull became an official Sequel ambassador in February, and the partnership is now expanding beyond one-on-one: This week, Sequel was named the first official tampon sponsor for Hull's Indiana Fever. 'I remember seeing the mockup, the very first stage of the Sequel tampon, in one of my design classes,' Hull told Forbes . 'And for whatever reason, it stuck with me.' This new Fever-wide partnership, which Forbes learned about exclusively, will provide all Fever players with Sequel tampons as part of their team-provided equipment. And fans will gain access, too. Branded tampon dispensers, specially made to install around Indianapolis' Gainbridge Fieldhouse, will be available in all women's restrooms stocked with complimentary Sequel products. 'The fans of women's sports are what's driving the future growth of women's sports,' said Sequel's Amanda Calabrese. 'Teams and organizations recognize how important it is today to invest in their female fans.' For Calabrese and her cofounder Greta Meyer—also Stanford engineering alumnae and competitive athletes themselves, one in lifesaving and one in lacrosse—supporting athletes is exactly what Sequel was designed to do. Their reimagined, spiral-shape tampon for better absorption and less leakage was first created in 2019, and the startup landed the cofounders a spot on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Manufacturing & Industry list in 2023. The company has $8 million in funding—but the Fever partnership stands to launch the brand to new heights. 'From day one we wanted to work with female athletes because we've always believed that they were going to be the future of influencer marketing,' Calabrese said. It was a prescient business strategy, as women's sports have broken record after record in recent years: 54 million unique viewers tuned into WNBA games last year and the 2024 NCAA Women's National Championship broke records for the most-viewed college basketball game ever on ESPN platforms (men's or women's), with 19 million viewers. The Fever are one of the hottest teams within this landscape; Forbes estimates Indiana led the WNBA in revenue and attendance (even outpacing attendance for the Pacers, its NBA counterpart) and is worth $320 million. 'It's an incredibly smart business decision to invest in women's sports,' Indiana Fever COO Amber Cox said. 'The [value of the league] is only going up, so it's exciting to work alongside brands who are fully invested and want to find creative ways to grow together.' Noted Calabrese: 'This isn't just 'Sequel partners with the Indiana Fever.' This is everything we've learned, everything we've believed to be true about female athletes, women's sports, building credibility for a very intimate product. All of that is coming to fruition in this partnership.' While Sequel products are available directly to consumers (DTC) on its website and in fitness studios like NYC barre class Physique 57, the brand has focused primarily on more creative methods of growth: Last summer, it popped up at the Paris Olympics with Athleta and last October it partnered with Athletes Unlimited, a pro sports network launched in 2020. The Fever are a natural extension of that partnership approach to increase brand awareness, Calabrese said. Lexie Hull was drafted to the Fever in 2022. courtesy of the Indiana Fever 'It's just crazy to see the growth,' said Hull. 'Now, college players are so excited about the potential of playing in the WNBA… It is becoming more and more lucrative, and a real career path for women.' Hull, for her part, counts more than half a million fans on her social media platforms—an audience that has helped her strike brand deals like the one she has with Sequel. In addition to Sequel tampons being available during all home games, the startup is also celebrating the launch of the partnership with a designated game on July 13th—between the Indiana Fever and the Dallas Wings. (Those who watch women's basketball will know this is set to be one of the most-watched games yet as Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark takes on this year's top-select, Paige Bueckers.) At the game, LED boards across the stadium will showcase the campaign's slogan: 'Your favorite athlete's favorite tampon.' Working with brands she believes in, founded by women she respects, is a privilege Hull acknowledges: 'Women drive so much of purchases, and I think being able to influence those purchases provides a lot of power to the influencers doing so,' Hull said. 'Being able to have a hand in those decisions and those conversations is really special… This partnership is just going to be really full circle.'
