But there is no prohibition against tv, theatre, sporting events, etc. None. And yet most generally accept a church being against those things.

No, but most guys with beards are filled with vanity and pride. Those are sins. Look at some posts in this thread and you'll see vanity and pride. Guys don't grow beards for functionality, they grow them for vanity. They keep them trim and neat out of vanity and pride.
