Since this is your newest pivot, what's the issue if they aren't called owners?

nba literally calls them "governors"

board of governors is factually accurate


And yet, the NBPA signed the CBA defining an "owner" :

quote:

"Team Affiliate” means:

(i) any individual or entity who or which (directly or indirectly)
holds an ownership interest in a Team (other than
ownership of publicly-traded securities constituting less
than five percent (5%) of the ownership interests in a
Team) (an “Owner”);

2017 CBA

No, let him keep his pivot. I want to know, if the NBA doesn't call them owners, what's the issue? We going to ban a word they already don't use?

Multiple NBA teams have had conversations about phasing the term "owner". At least two teams have already made the switch. 



Your reading comprehension leaves alot to be desired. Does "two teams" equate to "the league" now? Ive read Tillman Frititta referred to as the "Owner" multiple times the past 2 days. Cuban still says he's an owner. Wanna bet me Michael Jordan considers himself an "owner"? What do you consider "the league"?

Aptly put

So after we purge "owner" from our minds and hearts, what's next?

You should start a website. Woketionary.com

It’ll just make us white folks more adaptable

Then what's the problem?

The NBA doesn't call them owners, but the players association does. Perhaps the players should stop if it's so offensive?

Hey slack, PinchePerf over here says the NBAPA is too dumb to use the words they really should be using.
