Again, are you willing to say that you should lose your job if you get into a barroom brawl? How about too many traffic tickets? A fight with the Mrs.? What if you were never found guilty of doing anything, but were charged? Can we then take a full year's salary away from you?
The guy was off the clock. It's none of the league's business. The Players' Union was stupid for ever allowing such conduct to even be looked at by the league.
I think that whether or not the players union is stupid depends on the entirety of the deal they negotiated. The players get an enormously higher % of the revenue that their compnay earns than employees at any other company in America. If you negotiate that, as well as many other favorable conditions, there are going to be many lesser issues that look stupid if you actually are kidding yourself that each is a separate decision and not part a COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT.
