But they're also working at the post-game press conference. They're also working (or at least "on company time") when they're injured and sitting on the bench during the game.

It's a stretch, but one could argue that they're working when they grant scheduled interviews.

Where does it stop? I don't know either. But I'm pretty sure that the code outlined by Stern is not unreasonable for anyone who has any real-world work experience. Maybe not common, but certainly not unreasonable.
Yeah, that all makes sense to me, Chuck.
Yet, the fans that could be "positively" [... based, or debased, upon ??someone's?? opinion] influenced by the dress code, may not really care if a player shows up to sign stuff in a sponsor's or team's sweat suit or a Bruno Magli silk.

"To wear business casual attire ... when they arrive at and depart from arenas." [sheesh!]
