I gotta tell you that i might care about these fines if they came out of my pocket or if any of them actually left any of the players in dire straights unable to pay the rent for the year and risked ending up homeless as often happens to people in the real world . Fines are almost never equitable . The fine for say...speeding tickets for a making $8 an hour can leave him or her in dire straights,but the very same fine for someone with $10,000,000 in the bank is utterly meaningless and at best a very minor annoyance . We're supposed to get up in arms over this and think of it as important ? It's a shakedown racket at best fining guys for playing a game the way everyone expects them to play?
