I appreciate the serious tone you take to it Cdawg. I think people often forget how damaging it can be to a league to try and circumvent the rules. Then we make more rules and people find ways to circumvent those.
But I don't think punishment is necessary. We all want our teams to win and should strive to be successful. What people have to remember is that you can't let your individual team goals jeopardize the league. None of us can win anything without 29 other guys. So if we constantly act with a "who cares what everyone else thinks - let me do what I want to with my team" - then pretty soon there aren't 29 other guys to play with and then you aren't winning anything no matter how good your team is.
Work to make your team the best, but work even harder to make the league the best. The best way to do that is to act respectfully to the rest of us and honor fair play and integrity. Hokey hasn't been the only person guilty of this lately, his was just the most obvious. But if he shows he's learned from these two actions - then I don't see the need to kick someone while they're down.
