You may never find out. The NBRA appealed Rodney Mott's suspension and didn't get anywhere afaik. It's kinda different when you have to appeal to Stern, the guy who gave out Crawford's suspension in the first place. What is he gonna say--"I was wrong"? Somehow I don't think so. Also according to the story on the union web site, officials can't publicly rebut charges against them without risking additional sanctions. Iow, Crawford is not allowed to tell his side of the story. That's probably a contractual obligation, but it seems kinda funny when one side can comment publicly but the other side can't.
