Suspended?

Wait, let me get this straight. Kobe got suspended because he whacked a guy in the face? Whether or not it was intentional isn't even the issue, entirley. Last year,when Raja Bell slammed Kobe to the floor, by his neck, he was suspended for one game, and the league heard an appeal. Now, Kobe probably accidentily whacks a guy in the face, isn't even whistled for a four, let alone a tech or a flagrant, and is suspended for one game, and the league refuses to hear an appeal. Huh?
