As far as the stereo bird...well, the fine was appropriate, IMO...
Have your guys/gals never sat by a penalty box, or player's bench, sometime, and heard the CONSTANT abuse of officials?...the stereo bird is almost humorously tame in comparison to the crap officials take, ALL GAME LONG, at almost every level of play.

Most swearing isn't heard on national tv for kids to hear. The bird was on live tv for everyone to see. It's inappropriate for a professional (adult) to behave in such a manner.
