The owners will complain that the fans, who paid good money to see a game, will be penalized for one person's behavior.

Boo. Friggin'. Hoo.
That's the point. You know one of those fans is going to be a lawyer and bring action to recoup their money. If the owners have to start handing some of the money back to the fans, you will see a different demeaner from ownership around the league, including tighter management of the player's on-field activities.

That means bigger, heftier fines out of the manager's and player's paycheck. Maybe then these morons on the field will realize they are adult that are only playing a game of the children's, not acting like them
