Some reporters have taken leave of their senses on this issue. I read an Athletic beat guy write that the league suspending Draymond in part based on his past conduct constituted ‘double jeopardy,’ and as a lawyer I felt my soul leave my body.Yeah I don't know that I've ever seen one player step on another player with their entire body weight and use their chest as leverage to jump off of them.
I like how all the criticism of this decision starts off describing the dirty plays that the Kings have had against Draymond so far in the series....all things that Draymond has been doing to opponents for a full decade to get them off their game. I don't recall any of those other guys reacting the way Green did. Of course his history is taken into account with this decision, as are his actions immediately after (yelling and riling up the crowd, being totally unapologetic in the post game press conference). The sooner he's out of the league, the better.
*edit - and kudos to Mike Brown for getting his team prepared to not give an inch to Draymond.
EDIT - Inb4 ‘you never had/lost your soul already.’
