Actually, you can most certainly ask it of people who make their money as faces on television. A lot of TV actors, newscasters, etc. have appearance standards written into their contracts. The dudes on Big Bang Theory can't just decide to grow beards.
So the question is how much the product of sports is like other television programming, where the people and their appearance are part of the product. I doubt he has a legal case, but it's a legitimate marketing concern.
