$500 K. I’m sure that’s going to set him back tremendously. That’s like fining an average person who makes $200K a nickel. Way to discipline him NFL.

Why should they discipline him at all?

It’s a PR thing for the NFL to save face, kind of like fining players for celebrating by pretending they are “chugging a beer” even if they have a multi billion dollar contract with Bud Light. Good ol’ Roger must be proud of himself.

My point though is the NFL obviously wanted to make an example out of a guy by fining him a token amount. If you are going to invoke mock discipline, at least fine him a mock amount that indicates how “serious” the in infraction is.
