Why is there any call to "punish" anyone? It makes no sense. There's nobody to punish.
If there was some suggestion that it was a deliberate attempt to circumvent the rules, or unfairly benefit a team then sure, there should be a punishment... But that's not the case here as far as I can see.
Yeah, the Hawks benefited, nobody is denying that... but unless you're saying we should re-sim the entire season so far (lol) there's nothing we can do about that. Any other action against the Hawks would be to punish them for something outside their control... Which is, frankly, bullshit.
This is the point I'm trying to make.
At the very least the updater should be fired. He updated a player who didn't have any claims for 120 TPE in one update. How does that even happen?
And arguably you could make that case in many ways. When the Patriots got punished for a guy videotaping the Jets practice, its very possible that wasn't the teams fault, but they lost picks from that.
