If you want to show the league, then you have to have an enforcer that is expecting to get suspended.
The only way to show Stern that you want it officiated fairly is to injure a star, so that people are agast at what happened. Expect the suspension. Expect the fine.
If you tell Stern that if he won't have it officiated fairly, that you will resolve the issue, then have player X fall on Star Y........which will cause the ratings to go way down because Star Y isn't playing now -- then you will get some action from the league.
As it is -- the league will control the outcomes, just like they have for years. It makes business sense. It makes money. And frankly, as long as they make money, then they don't care because "IT IS A BUSINESS". Players tell you this many times a year, and fans don't listen.
