They PAY the nfl 100 million a week, roughly, to have the broadcast rights. So, my number is probably inaccurate. Is it wrong enough to invalidate the point, though?

Yes, i made a comment with inaccurate financial numbers on a reddit post. If you expected perfect accuracy and research in numbers, i really don't know what to do for you.
I'm not a journalist or expecting people to source my off-the-cuff reddit comment. However, let's actually do some math since you seem interested.
The latest contract fox signed with the NFL has them PAYING the NFL 2 billion dollars a year for the rights to broadcast. Let's assume 20 weeks of games with playoffs, etc. That means that FOX paid 100 million per week to the nfl. They wouldn't do that if it wasn't profitable. A 500k fine into that 100 million is literally 1/2 of a percent.
I realize i said profit and not revenue. However, the size of the revenues involved here absolutely validate my point, which was this:
A 500k fine for this kind of offense is similar to fining the average person $1. It makes absolutely no difference whatsoever, and it will deter exactly 0 people.

"We'll fine them 1/2 percent of the weekly profit from broadcasting NFL games. That will teach them! What else can we do?"

Yeah, I've never seen that happen in the 3 different hsa plans I've had. You have to find your own account, unless you have an especially generous employer. Even then, there might be tax implications.

Where does the $1200 come from?
