yeah, he got less but these are different times. people are fed up with players taking out their rage on fans. when they watch a game, they expect to see a game, nothing more, nothing less. i think he was made an example of and this will surely make the next player in his place think twice before endangering innocent people who are there to see a game, not a brawl.
edit: i think you're right about artest being treated a little harsh, but at the same time i dont think you'd be happy with anything other than a fine.
