The league is known for its vindictiveness. But we didn't anticipate a suspension.

I agree with the suspension. I think the thing the league is looking at, which I appreciate, is this one spilled into the stands. Everybody knows if it spills into the stands it's going to get ugly.

If someone were to violate the terms of their suspension, the league will investigate and allocate further discipline if necessary, discipline meaning fine or additional suspension.

That is precisely just what I don't want to be known as, ... I just want to go back to my own little filmmaking base, telling small New Zealand stories with my writing partner, Fran Walsh. I have no huge desire to be swallowed up by Hollywood.

Our intent is not vindictiveness. Something has to be done.

Your company's most valuable asset is how it is known to its customers.
