Sure, if all that matters to you is the outcome, but not the process. Chris Colabello, either actively or through negligence, circumvented the well-established and well-known rules of his profession. Simply because "it's just a game" or "just for entertainment" doesn't make it ok on a personal level, and just as we would condemn that behavior in our politicians, we should condemn it in all people. Now, I don't think the punishment should be the same, because the impact, as you said, is apples and oranges. But morality and right and wrong shouldn't be based on the number of people hurt/affected.
