And them being overweight affects others' enjoyment of the game how exactly? Showering and deodorant are basic courtesy but why exactly is the player's body shape an issue?

Being overweight exacerbates many health issues, so you're more likely and prone to experience things that can lead to bad odors. Sweating being just one of many. You would need to clean more often as a result. It's also harder to clean (more surface area, harder to reach spots). So, indirectly, it matters.

Being overweight itself isn't an issue, but it does tend to cause more sweating.
