When a player is suspended, fans tend to regard the punishment as not being able to play in games.
I'm pretty sure the player's focus is on the fact that they lose that portion of their salary.
If a player's contract calls for him to make 1.7 million a year then that is 100 thousand a game. A three game suspension would result in a loss of 300 thousand dollars....something like that.
That is an impactful loss, regardless of whether or not they could have played in those games anyway.
