"How does it feel to be a part of ruining the best game in the world? NBA owners/players don't give a damn about fans ... Fans provide all the money you're fighting over ... you greedy pigs," the poster wrote.

Arison answered: "You are barking at the wrong owner."


quote:

Arison also made the mistake of answering another fan on Twitter who asked him what he thought about oft-criticized Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

Arison responded with a simple "lol" (laugh out loud), something virtually all of us do when asked about the mercurial Sterling.


i searched for "arison" and got nothing

As hilarious as the 2nd comment is, the first was stupid of him, no matter how innocuous it may seem.

There's definitely a split in the ownership ranks and Stern just does not want to present that.

stern had to send a swift message, b/c if a few other big market owners (who are pissed off) get on the bus, these talks are fricking fricked

NBA split back into ABA, NBA...

Well NOLA has no owner, so I wonder where we stand.

It's a shame season ticket sales are so close yet short, I can't blame anyone its almost a month into the season already.

Fined? For tweeting? During the lockout? Are they kidding?

Seems like this could be an unfair labor practice, could definitely impact players ability to negotiate.

SUE THE BASTARDS!!!!!!

Sorry, but I don't give a frick about the NBA since Malone and Stockon left the Jazz and Jordan retired (the first time). FWIW, I hope the NBA disintegrates, like the European Union is about to do. I think 90%+ of America feels like I do.

In Louisiana, SEC football is king!!!
