We can not compare our lives in private business with the world of sports and entertainment. When you rely on the public to buy tickets or not buy tickets you cannot have the perception that you are ok with racial or sexist slurs being thrown around by your employees. Personal conduct and that term of conduct detrimental are clauses in contracts for a reason and I believe it would include past behaviour that is not disclosed.
