What I don’t understand is why are players being fined for plays that are in the rule book as penalties?
Yeah, you’re not allowed to do that. That is why your team got penalized 15 yards. You don’t have to fine the guy thousands of dollars too.
Like is the NHL fining players for their penalties? Does the NBA fine you if you get above 4 fouls? Does the MLB fine you if you (accidentally) hit a batter?
It really just boils down to: why the fuck are players being fined for things that were considered “part of the game” enough to be implemented in the rule book?
It’s not like they are out there fucking stomping on people’s faces.

The NHL does fine players for on ice penalties, but the amount a player can be fined is limited by their CBA - I think it is $5,000
