The standards of conduct is negotiated between the league, which is a commercial enterprise and not a government authority, and the union. If Brady had a duty to turn over all of his text messages and didn't comply, then they can and should suspend him for that. But they didn't. If -- if -- he cooperated with the investigation in other ways, and drew the line at handing over those kinds of personal materials to an organization that notoriously leaks like a sieve and has blatantly mishandled other investigations, then that sounds pretty reasonable to me. YMMV.
