A little bit excessive?

The NFL has fined the owner of the Indianapolis Colts, James Irsay, $500,000, suspended him for six games and forbade him to use Twitter. How many people do you suppose looked at Irsay as a role model before his arrest for drunken driving back in March? The city recommended that his license be suspended for 90 days and fined him less than $500.

I can understand the NFL penalizing Irsay in some way but this is ridiculous, particularly when you compare Irsay's punishment to that of some players who did much worse.
