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

[url]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/[/url]

[QUOTE][I]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. [/I][/QUOTE]

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

Imagine considering this insecure clown your GOAT :oldlol:

How the f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]ck did this generation go from watching South Park to becoming such sensitive ******* offended by everything?

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

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.

And people wanted David Stern to step down.

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

What a joke

Q&A with Kyle Lowery about getting shoved by GS minority owner:

[B]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?[/B]

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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 [B][SIZE="3"]YOU[/SIZE][/B] 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.

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!

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"?

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.

It's known as the Bran era:

-No shame
-No integrity
-No balls

I saw that this morning. :oldlol:

Classic brotherhood.

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


oh wait, this is just more leftist and solely leftist stuff :banghead:

Why would a political party have anything to do with how much of a snowflake ***** LeBron is along with his brotherhood?

[QUOTE=SouBeachTalents]Is business owner now no longer acceptable. Do people now have to say they govern their house?[/QUOTE]

I'm gonna start a part time lawn care business as sole governor :roll:


lefties :roll:

democrats :oldlol:

silvers a big walking dead fan from what i remember.

this all started around the beginning of the obama era

it's been cascading ever since then

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.

You're an idiot. No ones offended by this. We're making fun of how stupid this is and making fun of the people who support this. And one of those jabronis is LeBitch.

:coleman: :coleman:

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."

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.

The Capital? Dude if that's one of the slave states that's where all the plantation owners would be at a lot of times

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

You mean all the dipshit low IQ fragile ego retards in this thread getting furious over a meaningless name change? I agree.

They are OWNERS.

Grow a pair or STFU if you don't like reality.

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.
