Anyone wonder about RC getting tossed?

IMO, when pro sports commissioners (did I spell that right?) level fines - in this case for $50,000 - they are merely scolding the offender, but since the dollar figures involved seem like a lot of money to US, our perceptions is, "Wow! That's a big fine!". And, unfortunately, that convinces a large number of fans that a "hard line" is being taken. As officials who love our sport, we know better. But at least the scolding is there...
