Yes, they have a responsibility to attend and sign at team scheduled events like family fun night or other such events and appearances throughout the season as is likely spelled out in a player's contract. Other than that, nope. Everyone thinks why not this one little time, or it's for my kid, but multiply that by every place an athlete goes and is constantly hounded.
It surely isn't personal when they decline, they just set up some basic rules for themselves individually and try to stick to it. My family encountered #88 during the ProBowl festivities at a local restaurant and dance club, and he was a treat to be around. Maybe the end of season party atmosphere is different than when in camp working hard.
