Oh, these "bite the bullet" arguments are so pointless. Perhaps you don't care for sports in the slightest, HoreTore, but many people do. And their enjoyment of the game is being ruined. If that doesn't make it a crime, and it would have to be a situation of life and death, then you have no grounds for objecting to a fine since he isn't being killed or injured, it is only his joy that is being harmed.
