Wasn't the incident with Dan Issel the result of his having beer poured on him by a drunken fan? Issel responded with a racial slur, and was fired by the Nuggets and is not heard from any more.

If Issel's punishment for a racial slur was dismissal, then how can the NBA justify anything less than an indefinite suspension for Artest, with his re-instatement to the league contingent on approval by a psychiatrist's evalution, demonstrated compliance with a medical regimen, extensive anger management counseling, and restitution to the fan(s) whom he assaulted.

It will be an utter injustice if Artest sets foot oncourt again this season.

So what are you saying? The Pacers should fire Artest? The NBA didn't fire Issel the Nuggets did so how is this situation even comparable?
It's obvious subjecting someone to a racial slur is much worse than trying to give them a concussion.
