Well that's pretty shitty. I understand where they are coming from, that can hurt the team, but... Nobody is above the law. The player was 100% in the wrong, both breaking the law by speeding and putting peoples' lives at risk, as well as not complying with a lawful order.
If anything it is abuse of authority, abuse of position or something like that to handwave him out of whatever punishment would be in line with what he did.
Say it again class. Nobody. Is. Above. The. Law.
Nobody. Not you, me, a president, lawyer, astronaut, war hero or sports star.
