How can you fine an athlete (by sports courts) money and what would happen if they don’t pay up, how do those courts have more jurisdiction over those people than general courts?

The players have a legit union contract with the league that lays out all sorts of requirements surrounding substance abuse, pay, and their conduct on and off the field. That’s how you get suspensions for marijuana and Marshawn Lynch showing up to interviews saying [“I’m just here so I won’t get fined.”](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2344416-marshawn-lynch-at-super-bowl-media-day-im-here-so-i-wont-get-fined) or [“Thank you for asking.”](https://www.businessinsider.com/marshawn-lynch-thanks-presser-2014-12)
