Thanks for your thoughts. If they use this part as their argument, it might lead people to believe that they did overreach unfairly to make a point.
Yeah, they don't really have an argument. Moreover, they had however many months to make a decision, and then hand out the suspension right as the games start. The timing of this was entirely of their choosing and selected to keep Elliott's team from appealing if it could.
It's stupid. They probably win any case where they elect to suspend a player if they just treat everybody fairly and then use their judgement. They start playing with the rules and looking unnecessarily punitive and partial, and it creates a shitstorm. They own it now, however it turns out.
