So looking up the most recent infraction, one can find that the punishment levied to sfp for not paying an inactive (granted multiple instances) receives a harsher punishment than this.

I remember bringing up no contract payments of inactive players before and it was deemed acceptable because the players were inactive, as long as they were counted on the budget it was fine.

I guess I’ve decided I’m really not ok with this outcome, and after sleeping on it and feeling the same and looking at hamilton trade out of any punishment they were given I’m going to keep harping on the fact we need a fundamental change to the punishment / appeal process.
