Outspoken NBA Owner Receives $25,000 Fine for Tweeting
Cuban loves his reputation as a tech-savvy rabble-rouser, but he can't claim trendsetter status with this latest conflagration; two weeks ago, Milwaukee Bucks forward Charlie Villanueva received a tongue-lashing from his coach for tweeting during halftime.
Cuban is, however, the first in the NBA to receive a monetary penalty for using the microblogging site. Intimately familiar with that sort of punishment, he has accumulated almost $2,000,000 in fines during his career as owner. His tweet about this most recent drop in the bucket? "just found out got fined25k by nba.) nice." It must be pretty nice to be able to be so flippant about $25,000. [From: Valleywag]

As much as I hate Mark Cuban, this is bullshit. He's the owner. It's not like one of the players or coaches doing it during the game, I can see how that would be different. What's next, they're gonna fine fans at the game for tweeting about the refs?

Why should I care about some rich SOB who shrugs off a $25K fine like it was a quarter spent in a parking meter? What possible value do people like this bring to a world full of misery, want and suffering? Do they care about ordinary people? Give a rip about those in need? No, they're busy twittering their life and their millions away on senseless pro sports that are a big rip off industry to begin with. When this creep starts spending his time and money helping others in real need, then I'll show him some respect. Until then, he's just another rich jerkoff wasting air and resources that others could better use.

You have no idea the amount of money Mark Cuban (and other wealthy people) have given to support the poor and needy in our country and aroudn the world. The problem is, you greedy punk, you want it to come your way. For some reason you think you deserve the money he has worked for. Who do you think pays the players salaries on the Dallas Mavericks? (Don't say the fans - he is responsible for their salaries even if a fan never shows up.) Men like Cuban and others in corporate America have risked everything and put their rear ends on the line time after time to accumulate what they have gotten. Sure, there are those very few who have come by their money dishonestly. But most are hardworking Americans who have been able to achieve the American dream. No you don't read about all of their philanthropy work, because they do it without fanfare or hype. The question to you is what do you bring to a world full of misery, want and suffering other than your whining, sniveling and complaining.
