Mark Cuban — maverick television and sports executive and generous supporter of EFF — has been fined by the NBA for blogging his criticism of the league's decision to hold its opening game on election night, the one night of the year when no one gave a rat's about basketball.
The NBA held its opening night on election night last Tuesday, a dumb move because Cuban thought (correctly, I might add) that the kickoff games would get zero TV coverage the day after the election. So Cuban decided to inform his readers of his opinion on his weblog, and the NBA fined him for this. That's right everyone, the NBA fined Mark Cuban because of a weblog entry he wrote.
