Ron Artest calls penalty too harsh while promoting his CD!

"I don't think it was fair — that many games," Artest said in an interview with NBC's "Today" show. "I respect (NBA Commissioner) David Stern's decisions, but I don't think I should have been out for the whole season."

Interview: Video

Afterwards Billy Hunter, the ex. director of the player's union said that he should only be suspended half the season and be entered in anger management.

Katie replied: Wasn't he already in anger management?

Hunter: No, not really...he was before..

Did Ron actually think holding up his cd while smiling was going to be perceived to be an apology? It seemed more like a promotion interview. For a man who has been suspended 10 times he got off lucky at one year. I'm sure though the NBA will cave and reduce his suspension because Ron is a star player.

The fake "moral majority" will say it's Hollywood's fault.
