Tony-I still think what the writer of the article I alluded to applies:
Cuban has been fined 13 times for exercising his right of free speech, which applies everywhere in America except where sports officials are involved. You can call the President a murderer, and you'll get a political debate. But criticize the refs, and you could be out 250 grand.
As is the case in the private sector while I was working, I saw many people in my spcial service job SUCK their way up to the top by just playing along with the company policy and not saying the correct thing.
Some of us don't think that way and put principles over personal gain.
I don't personally care for Marc Cuban overall, but do admire the way he stands up to Stern and says the NBA officiating sucks.
I think Stern is just one big pompous self-serving ass with a swollen head who loves to show the world how powerful he is and whose penalties/suspensions are more a reflection of that than meting out just and fair penalties.
Even if one assumes that his motives are sincere(which obviously I do not), then it is obvious that he really has no idea of what is fair;just look at his absurd suspension for game 6 because someone hit Shaq too hard(like Shaq con't defend himself); he treats players like babies;he would make a heck of a lot better kindergarten teacher than Commissioner.
ps If having a commie pinko head means challenging authority at times rather than simply being a kissass and always saying the "correct" thing to keep you in your boss's good graces, then I am proud of it.
