Steeler fans have been complaining about the inconsistent fines for 5 or 6 years now. Talib should have been fined way more, and realistically it should be the kind of thing that gets a suspension, but the league has set and maintained the precedent that it's not going to draw a suspension. This is different than saying the league is fixed and using confirmation bias to try to say it's fixed in favor of the Steelers for some ridiculous, made-up reason.
