No, I think he's fining a coach, asst. coach, GM, etc. for instituing a system to reward causing injury AND not stopping/covering it up when the league found out about it. Yes, bounty systems were/are league wide. But flat out giving the league a big F-You when they tell you to stop doing it will get you in a shitload of trouble.

So you agree that this was personal and capricious?

This x 1000. Obviously an ex-Saints employee came to the NFL with this information. If this employee was willing to go to the NFL, he was also willing to go to the press. The NFL told them to knock it off and they didn't. Instead of just saying "You got it commish" and moving on, they told him to frick off and tried to cover it up which pissed him off even more. Add to this the past relationship miscues that Payton has had with Goodell and he layed the wood to your HC.
What fricked the Saints was the disgruntled ex-employee that originally forced the NFL's hand, and the subsequent middle fingers given to Goodell by Payton and Loomis.

So if a team purposely injured Brees and ruined the Saints season possibly Brees career would you be okay with that team getting a lesser punishment?
