At the time I thought this was kind of harsh – the guy was actually wearing the sweater, looked like a fan to me. But you never know.
In the case of this video, Gord appeared too polite to refuse. Probably Leslie should have stepped in to play bad cop, in the interest of the other people waiting.

Many sports celebs have contracts which will not allow them to sign memorabelia autographs unless at a signing show/event. Likely Elway has one of these contracts.
