In a weird way, it almost seems like firing him would make more sense than suspending. By firing him, they're saying, "We don't want to be associated with this guy," which kind of makes sense from the standpoint of not alienating a large portion of their fanbase. It's not so much a punishment as it is detaching themselves from him. Suspending him is just weird. They're punishing him for saying something but he's still there and his presence is still going to piss off most of those same people. I don't think the suspension really placates anyone, either. That's not to say I think a firing would be justified (nor did I expect it), but the suspension just feels kind of weird. Remember though, they didn't just sign Ozzie. They traded for him. They gotta get something out of that.
