NEW YORK -- Miami Heat owner Micky Arison has been fined by the NBA, three days after he made references to the locked-out leagues ongoing collective bargaining process on his Twitter account. The NBA did not disclose the amount of the fine, or say publicly why Arison was sanctioned. Arison posted several tweets Friday night, including a reply to someone who referred to those involved with the lockout as "greedy ... pigs." Arison replied by saying "Honestly u r barking at the wrong owner." That tweet was deleted a short time later. The NBA typically prohibits owners from speaking publicly about the labour situation. Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan was fined in September after he told an Australian media outlet the NBAs current business model was "broken." cheap jerseys paypal .

TORONTO -- Matt Cooke made the best of what should have been the NHLs opening night. Instead of getting ready for Pittsburghs curtain raiser against the New York Islanders, the locked out Penguins forward spent Thursday coaching his daughters soccer team. "Ive been able to be involved in my kids sports more than I have in the past. I think that means a lot to them and it means a lot to me to be able to enjoy that," Cooke said Saturday after taking part in an NHLPA event in Stirling-Rawdon, Ont. "Ive tried not to think about what could have been or what should have been and instead have enjoyed the moments Im having with my family." Cooke grew up playing hockey in Stirling-Rawdon, a town some 20 kilometres north of Belleville, and was on the ice for three hours with youngsters at the rink where he learned the game. The town won the Kraft Hockeyville competition and the right to host NHL pre-season game, but the work stoppage meant those plans were cancelled. "I was on the ice with kids that were five, six, seven years old and I just think back to what that would have meant to me at that age and thats a pretty cool thing," Cooke said. "Most people just realize and recognize that its a lot bigger than one player and theres not much we can control. Are we going to have hockey this year? -- thats their biggest concern. Theyre starving for hockey. I think every small town in Canada probably has the same mentality." Kraft Hockeyville also awards money for arena upgrades and the NHL held an event in Stirling-Rawdon last month despite the lockout. Cooke was joined at Saturdays NHLPA event by fellow playerrs Brad Richardson, Derek Smith, Jamal Mayers, Kurtis Foster, James Reimer, Nick Foligno and Josh Bailey.dddddddddddd Cooke, who has been skating with teammates to stay in shape, is taking a wait-and-see approach as the owners and players continue talks aimed at ending the lockout. A number of NHLers have found jobs overseas in the interim, but Cooke isnt ready to take that option. "Theres always opportunities and some have arisen since the lockout but I think right now my fear is to go over and play 25 games and then have to come back and play a 75-game schedule, then Im already at 100 games before playoffs," the feisty left-winger said. "Right now Im good with where were at. We have a good competitive ice time thats keeping us sharp and as long as that continues and the optimism of getting a deal is fairly high then I have no intentions of going over to Europe. But I havent completely closed the door either." Anaheim Ducks forward Bobby Ryan made comments last week that he would prefer to see NHL players remain in North America to be part of the solution to the lockout. Although Cooke respects Ryans opinion, he says each player has the right to make their own decision. "Each guy is in an individual situation and some are completely different than others. Some guys havent played in the league that long so they want to play somewhere else. Some guys have played in the league a real long time and they feel like they need to go somewhere to stay sharp. "Theres just so many scenarios that each individual guy has to deal with so I dont judge either way." ' ' '
