Sports: Unmasked coaches fined for what cause?

I heard today that Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was fined $100,000, and the team fined $250,000, for Carroll’s not wearing a mask throughout the game Sunday night.

Apparently the amount of these fines was intended to get the attention of the coach and the organization.

That may have been successful, but I wonder where that $350,000 goes? Is it just put into NFL coffers?

Perhaps a more beneficial use for that money would be to contribute to a charity that is working to heal people who have COVID-19, or to follow players’ lead and give to Black Lives Matter.
