This is true, but I sincerely doubt that in the case of Artest they will win. Remember, last season Todd Bertuzzi was suspended for the remainder of the season, including playoffs, for an incident that happened on the ice and didn't involve any fans, and his suspension stuck despite appeals by the player's union. Also, in MLB, Frank Francisco lost the remainder of his season (16 games) after an appeal was denied.
