Also, seeing as how this is a team sponsored event (sort of) I think there would be a reasonable expectation for the player to participate.
Either way, this isn't a job anyway, so I doubt there is any sort of legal precedent that would cover it.

Ok... so what about my company, what if they want me to sign a flag to send to Afganistan, and if I refuse, I'm fired. That sounds right/fair to you? Even if its a 'public event' for the company? Sounds like wrongful dismissal to me...
