I saw the play. He deserves the suspension.

If this had happened to the Cowboys in Philadelphia, they would have given Haynesworth a key to the city and paid his salary while he's suspended.

Personally, I think he's getting off light. That was a criminal act. He'll be sued for sure.

You could argue that he should have been arrested.
