Honestly this is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I don;t understand what was so offensive that he was fined for it. All he said was that they need to fix the officiating in the league. What about that tweet warrants a fine? He wasn't attacking a specific official or being mean to any one person. He was just saying in general the officiating could be better. I think that maybe the NBA should take this into consideration instead of unreasonably fining him for stating his opinion. The NBA has the worst officials in all of pro sports and that's why no one takes the NBA seriously. The refs call joke calls so the whole league is basically a joke.

Mama June Sets Up Trust Fund For Honey Boo Boo & Daughters
http://omg.yahoo.com/news/mama-june-sets-trust-fund-honey-boo-boo-181043925.html
I don't particularly like Honey Boo Boo, her family, or the show but I have to say that I have gained a new respect for the mom, June. The family gets between $15,000 and $20,000 per episode and instead of spending it on frivolous material items June is setting up a trust fund for her daughters and granddaughter.
Unlike other reality show parents she's making the choice to give her daughters the chance at a successful future. Kate Gosling from John and Kate plus 8 is a great example of how greedy reality show parents can be. Instead of saving that money for her 10 children she spent it on herself and ways to make herself seem like more of a "star".

Rape Case Rocks Community
http://news.yahoo.com/ohio-sheriff-confronts-protesters-football-rape-case-212214094.html
Okay so in Ohio two 16 year olds were accused of raping another student. Both boys are on the football team which is poplar in that town so some people think that because they are athletes they are getting off easy/getting special treatment and honestly i wouldn't be surprised if that was actually the case.
Something that really bothers me about this whole thing is that the accused are being charged as juveniles. That seems absolutely ridiculous, these boys are old enough to know that sexual assault is wrong. They made the adult decision to violate someone so they should face the adult consequences when they get caught. The victim has basically already lost the "trial" because no matter what they won't get the justice they deserve. Only in America do we care more about athletes than assault victims.

Controversial Rape Ruling
http://news.yahoo.com/judge-law-wont-protect-unmarried-victims-rape-012941200.html
Okayy so from what i understand this man goes into a woman's bedroom, pretends to be her boyfriend, and molests her but only gets a 3 year sentence and a retrial? It said it was because of some law that prevented them from calling it rape because she was unmarried or something and that is total BS. Apparently the same thing happened in Idaho in 2010 soo maybe they should change that law? Like what right do a bunch of laws and judges have to say what is rape and what isn't? They shouldn't be able to define what rape/sexual assault/molestation is and i don't understand why it would make a difference if the victim was married or not.
"Prior to the conviction, Schulman had argued Morales believed the sex was consensual because the victim responded to his kisses and caresses, according to the decision."
That is a complete lie because first of all he pretended to be her boyfriend. Second this man entered the home of a woman he doesn't know in the middle of the night, in who's crazy messed up mind thinks that that would be consensual? I guess crazies will think what they want but still he has to have realized what he did was wrong.
