Or “Majority Shareholder”.
That immensely triggers me because of the similarity to sharecropping.

I’ll let you know when I see one of your takes that is even not immensely idiotic and we will know it’s a step in the right direction

Are you a POC?

An NBA Franchise is a tangible asset, those have owners. Those are facts.

nothing racist about trusting how a black nba player feels about the term over some random white dude
Identity politics from you. Shame.

"owner" in the context of the NBA just has a bad vibe. not a big deal to change it to something more culturally appropriate
IDC if they change it, but the notion it has a bad vibe is pure horseshite.

does not matter. I could care less about the term tbh but I do understand why these dudes have an issue with it.
I'm not going to sit out here and say they're crazy sjws for having very real feelings about a recent part of our country's history

It's a freaking business term.
For someone to try to equate any/all business ownership with chattel slavery is wilfully disingenuous.

Nope. Watch him try to tell you all about black people though

I have to assume the irony is intentional at this point.

If you think it has a bad vibe, start a business. Make it grow. Insist to everyone who’ll listen that you aren’t an “Owner” of something that you built. You start this trend first, then I’ll entertain it. Until then, I’ll consider you an imbecile.

So does a basic definition of business terminology. To equate team ownership with chattel slavery is pure poppycock. Don't front like it isn't.
Posted on 6/3/19 at 8:49 pm to TbirdSpur2010
so just because youre a random arse black dude, the NBA black dudes who have an issue with this are wrong?
think a little please.

I’d consider it pretty on par with today’s society. Let’s be enraged over something that doesn’t even make any sense.

You ignored my question earlier.
What is the first word that comes to mind when trying to describe someone who has legal possession of something?

Owner.
frick...now I’m racist

This is so peak 2019.
Dudes who have never been slaves are pissed at people who have never owned slaves because the definition of owner can be used in multiple contexts.
