A 50 game suspension is not taking away everything he has.

It puts him in a one-strike-and-you're-out position, which would take away everything he has.

No, it would kick him out of the league, maybe, pending appeal, but he’d still get to keep everything he has.

I’ll admit I learned a lot from this thread - although getting those details from Jellybean was certainly like pulling teeth. Would have been much more useful if his initial post was more reporter and less cheerleader. But regardless, I’m now on the side that believes evidence points towards Braun being not guilty. However - what do you mean by one-strike-and-your-out? If he got hit with a 50 game ‘vacation,’ and then got caught sinning again, wouldn’t the next step be a 100-game suspension? Isn’t that what happened to Manny? And teams were still willing to take a chance on Manny, even with his diminished stats and increased mental retardation. Why would Braun be “out”?
