If the precedent of a massive fine of even $50,000 is set, it should be applied to other players in the future. Most of the players in the league would be devastated by that large of a fine. For that matter, there are quite a few players for whom $7,500 could force them to make a few trips to the pawn shop. It may not seem like much of a fine for Blanco, but consider future implications.
