Those suspensions got overturned when Tagliabue was brought in as an independent arbiter. Tags found no evidence to support the notion that the players were doing anything intentionally harmful. I think only hargrove’s wasn’t and I think that was because he wasn’t currently on a team - though my memory might be shaky on that.

Payton couldn’t get his overturned because the NFL coaches don’t have a union to fight on their behalf and (I think) they are viewed as independent contractors.
