context matters


It absolutely does.

The league has had owners forever. The idea it's an offensive word is a 2018 development.

I see the logic in many of these social complaints, even if I disagree with them. This "owner" issue is fricking stupidity of the highest level. It has zero merit.

But in today’s world this actually plays. Let’s retroactively make something offensive when the context of it doesn’t even make sense.
