My point was that this fine is totally out of proportion with other fines handed out for cases of racism. Millwall were only fined £10k!
Fans not players, and in a lower division. Fans are not signed up to any protocol, players will be. These just aren't comparable. Now if there's an example of a PL player posting something similar this season and not being charged, then there's a meaningful comparison that can be made.
The ££ count would be far less if it was a Leyton Orient player, based on profile (and thus potential effect) and wage. No-one would think fining someone like that £50k would make sense.
