I honestly believe he could sue the league and win.  They are doing everything possible to take his livelihood away from him.  It's not just honest, good faith mistakes.  It's a concerted effort.

I agree with this. The fact he had a personal foul issue in college is irrelevant. If you take away the BS personal fouls called on him for his "reputation", then he actually has very few. I'd love for him to take the league to court and make them explain to a Federal judge how the Kansas City hit and this one were illegal. They are taking money out of his pocket with every fine and suspension, so he has standing to bring a case.
