independent arbitrator will reduce it IMO...their job is to compare it to past suspensions and incidents. They do not have to answer to an officials union or public pressure

What suspensions for abuse of an official were not comparible?
I don't know if an arbitrator can change the interpretation by the league that it was intentional.
The league determined it was intentional, and FOR THAT ACTION, gave him an appropriate suspension.
