NBA to replace the term of team "Owner" with team "Governor"

[Patrick Chewing]

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/adam-silver-on-nba-using-governor-in-place-of-owner-title-we-moved-away-from-that-term-years-ago/


According to commissioner Adam Silver, the NBA is continuing to move away from the use of the term "owner" to describe those with controlling interest of teams in favor of the terms "Governor of the team" and "alternate Governor."

The change was made due to concerns that the term "owner" can be viewed as racially insensitive in a league where the vast majority of players are African-American and the majority of owners are Caucasian. While the league itself stopped using the term years ago, individual teams are now starting to follow suit; something Silver was asked about.

You know, cause LeBron feels oppressed out there as he gets closer to becoming a billion dollar athlete.

Jesus Christ :roll: What will people not get offended by

[superduper]

Imagine considering this insecure clown your GOAT :oldlol:

[bullettooth]

How the **** did this generation go from watching South Park to becoming such sensitive ******* offended by everything?

[egokiller]

What a bunch of snowflake tide pod eating bull$hit.

[superduper]

How the **** did this generation go from watching South Park to becoming such sensitive ******* offended by everything?

Kids born 1998 and after isn't the same South Park watching generation you're thinking of. That would be more late 80's/early 90's born.

[bigkingsfan]

And people wanted David Stern to step down.

[FKAri]

In unrelated news the term "team" is also being replaced with the term "plantation"
Ah. See. Now it makes sense.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

What a joke

:oldlol: :oldlol:

[Hey Yo]

Imagine considering this insecure clown your GOAT :oldlol:
Q&A with Kyle Lowery about getting shoved by GS minority owner:

Draymond Green in the past has called for the term "owners" to be done away just because it gives these people this owner mentality, looking at players not as people but as kind of assets. With the incident that took place yesterday, do you think that gives further credence to what he's been saying as far as how maybe owners see athletes just because of the name that they're given?

Yeah, not everyone, not all of them. But certain ones, yes. And I can say for sure that guy makes me feel like that. Mark Stevens, whoever his name is, makes me feel like he's one of those guys. Draymond with that, I remember him saying that. I believe it's true. We call it the Board of Governors, but people in the world would call it the ownership. It should be changed. And a guy like that definitely shows that's what he feels, to me.



In that article the OP posted, where does it say anything about Jordan to make you call him an insecure clown?

[SouBeachTalents]

Is business owner now no longer acceptable. Do people now have to say they govern their house?

[PP34Deuce]

Most NBA teams are owned by multiple people. Only a hand few have like 1-2 full majority owners.

[Haymaker]

They could use the term "Managing Partner" for the majority owner and "Senior Partners" for the minority owners.

[PP34Deuce]

I'm more curious to think what Grant Hill, Michael Jordan, Sara Blakely, Jeanie Buss, think about the term.

People blame the players but let's see who really cares about owner/governor that owns a majority stake in an NBA team.

[bullettooth]

Kids born 1998 and after isn't the same South Park watching generation you're thinking of. That would be more late 80's/early 90's born.

LeBron would have been old enough to watch South Park. Kids born in early 90s wouldnt understand any of it... too young to be watching that kind of stuff anyway.

[Im so nba'd out]

Imaging calling someone soft because you're offended that they are offended by this....

You make fun of this generation for being overly sensitive.Yet you cry about this little change which means YOU are overly sensitive.

As for the feedback from the players, Silver says he's heard from both sides --

"Players have gone both ways. I think a few players have actually spoken out and said the greatest thing that ever happened was when Michael Jordan was able to call himself an owner."

Governor doesn't make sense. Should have used investor.

I agree. The stereotype that holds true is the NBA is largely Jewish owners. But then that's every money making industry (Music industry epecially)

I think if there were more progression in minority owners that aren't Jewish, the owner name wouldn't bother some of them as much.

It's getting to the point where these NBA players are making/worth more than some of the minority owners.

[Patrick Chewing]

Michael Jordan worked hard to become one of the first Black owners in Sports all to have that taken away from him in an instant. Now that's racist!

[iamgine]

Shouldn't the players, especially black players, feel offended by the reasoning? That the NBA think so low of their perceptive ability that they would get offended by the term "team owner"?

[n00bie]

The league has become so soft it's insane. If someone owns a team they can be called whatever the **** they want to be called. If I owned a business I can call my position King if I wanted to.

also l3bron is 100% leftist and I would venture 98% of his friends, relatives.. hell anyone close to him remotely is also leftist. Just connect the dots.

Imagine if this trend continued into other businesses and small businesses.


Customer: "Yes, I'd like to speak to the Governor please."

Store employee: "Of the state? I think he's in like, the Capital, dude."

[PP34Deuce]

To the people complain Lebron.. I don't think it's Lebron who started this Governor wording.

Lebron has openly said "OWN" he wants to OWN a team.

I think for the NBA to really change this means multiple players have a problem with it. Not just Lebron, Draymond or whoever else you think it is.

We need to change the word Capital to "main place"

They are OWNERS.

[stalkerforlife]

F uck.

Just blow the league up already.

Owners don't need these offended millionaires.

Owners make their fortunes elsewhere and buy teams as a hobby.

[TheCorporation]

Ah. See. Now it makes sense.

Plantation governors babyyyy

By the way why is everyone talking about Bran here? Is there a link to his comments on the matter? All i saw is a quote from Adam Silver and Draymond Green

He has white chefs preparing his family's food.No person who hates a race would ever let that race touch the food they eat + pay them salary when they could easily get someone from their own race to do it.


Proves he's not a racist

I certainly wouldnt let one certain race touch my food.

Did I miss an article or something? There's a ton of Lebron replies with no mention of him. You guys really miss him don'tcha?

you just governed that ass
:cheers:

[dude77]

these kind of headlines used to be shit you would find in onion articles .. wtf is going on ?

[MrFonzworth]

Governer is still kind of pushing it.

It should just be a normal authority term, like boss, or master.

I wonder if l3bron has the white chefs refer to him as "owner"

[Patrick Chewing]

Governors govern. Pretty soon the players will be saying that nobody governs them. So we'll have to change the title again.

If you call him your boss, then there's the old "You ain't the boss of me" saying so that won't work either.


We have to think of something else. We can do better.

Other than Dolan, sterling, and Gilbert..what majority NBA owner has been bad?

Cuban grousbeck balmer warriors owners are all pretty lenient and smart guys.

NBA owners are nowhere near as ruthless as NFL owners...those guys treat players like slaves

NBA owners are like the rich white Jewish kids that love black culture and invest in it because it's so cool.

[TheGreatDeraj]

We are in clown world. Honk Honk.

The team owners own the TEAM not the players. A very easy distinction to make, even for someone with low IQ. Owners own the team. It's the correct word.

Governor is not the correct term, it doesn't even make sense. Governors don't own what they govern and most team owners don't even govern the team, they hire someone else to do that.

Draymond is an idiot and Silver a massive ***** for giving in to this insanity.

[FKAri]

LePalpatine is setting the table for himself to be the owner.

[Mr Feeny]

i'm sure this has everything to do with trump and his right winged cult

There are some folks to this day who think that all capital should be cooperatively owned and that working for someone else is wage slavery.

But that doesn't have much to do with racial insensitivity and more to do with the robot apocalypse.

I don't think there is one single owner in the NBA who says to their players that they own them. This isn't Hollywood where the villain in the movie shouts down to his subordinate by saying "I own your ass!"

The owners own the team. They own the organization. And usually they own the arena in which they play in. There's a difference.

But NBA players are becoming SJW's right in front of our eyes, it's pathetic.

Why is it stupid? If the term owner bothers some people especially people in who work for you and you can fix that with a simple word change why does it matter? It's just a word and it has no impact on your lives.

I don't really give a damn about the plight of gay people but ill call them whatever term they want me to call them because it's no sweat off my back and it makes them feel better. You guys actually care and get upset about it. It really is pathetic
