I think refs definitely think twice about throwing superstars out of games. It can't be undone and it changes the course of the game. Refs are people, they're prone to error. Star CBs don't get called for PI and defensive holding as much as they should either. Legit fighting has gotten players ejected, the Suh Stomp, stuff like that. He probably should have been ejected, but it's a tough judgement call. Norman wasn't exactly an innocent bystander.
The difference is that OBJ is incredibly young, stupid, and doesn't know how to be a professional. Usually superstars have been around the block and know how to act like adults. He's also on the Madden cover, which shows how big a star he is. It's a rare combination. He got a 1 game suspension and rightly so. Nothing justifies his actions on the field. I just hope he sees the error and matures. WRs are prone to diva behavior and a lot of them fall by the wayside for their ego.
