How do they decide fines?
Just wondering. Some of them seem really random.

Dunny got a $250 fine from Monday, yet Mathis was fined $1000 for the April game against LA.

Obviously it has something to do with how serious it was, but does it have something to do with how much they make?

MLS reviews the play and makes a determination based on severity of the foul... $250 is the minimum.

So if Dunseth was fined the minimum, can I assume that means MLS didn't think the red card foul was very severe?

Yes... the league fined Mathis $1000 for a yellow... so I would say it was a lite fine.
