Arison feels the heat over Twitter comments

THE NBA fined Miami Heat owner Micky Arison $500,000 (€365,000) for comments he made on Twitter that violated the league’s regulations on speaking publicly about the lockout that has crippled the sport.

Arison responded to a poster on Twitter who had directed a comment to him questioning, “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.”

In response, Arison posted: “You are barking at the wrong owner.”
