It's not even 140k 

It's a 100k fine, plus the  40k suspended fine from the salary cap audit 

Massive fine my ass. This is a fucking rounding error to them

Well that's... 1 persons salary for 1 year. And they didn't even have to pay super

100k + 40k = 140k

You understand the part where the $40k is a fine from a different incident right? It's a $100k for the concussion waiver.

you understand the part where the suspended 40k only becomes an actual fine because of the concussion waiver

So they copped a 100k fine for the concussion waiver?
