In a historic moment for sports blogging, the NBA has fined Mark Cuban for comments made on his blog. Cuban had said that the NBA shouldn't have had opening night on Election Day. His criticism was both correct and fairly mild. The NBA, however, once again reacted angrily and took a few grand away from the Mavs' owner.

Sometimes the WNBA seems to have a mindset that every public message must be positive, that criticism is heresy. It's not hard to see where that came from.
