TBF the more I think about this ownership just sped up the process. HO would have made their decision and then Hammy would have appealed the decision which meants the Owners will rule on the appeal and OP would have been their appeal decision. So Ownership just decided to skip the HO decision part.

But is that right? Of course not.

Thanks to @karey and @JSS for the sigs!

Of all the reactions, people being upset over the owners expediting the appeal process (i.e. just getting us to the end result faster) is weird. Of anything in the punishment thread that was the best explained in the original thread. Everything else goofy tho

Every time they look at metrics, there's a call for consistency and transparency in how punishments are handled. It's real swell to have Nour and Luke get on the soapbox at the end of each season and talk about all of those improvements to infrastructure, transparency, and consistency. To their credit, it sounds like SHL HO definitely tried to do the right thing in this instance.

But it doesn't mean a Damn Thing to talk about it if the things don't happen when there's call for them. So thanks for that Ownership.
