You make it sound like that is all the money they take home. That money is taxed, not guaranteed and they have other expenses like agents and other things that $25,000 could go for. As far as I know these guys are not repeat offenders. I also do not know many fines that exceed these amounts for first time offenses. I know many would like to think a fine of $500,000 would be better, but I am sure there are some collective bargaining issues that would prevent a fine much bigger than what they received.
