    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.

    NBA is not stupid,the league has pretty much maxed out viewership/attendance in the USA due to demographics
    So the only places left to increase viewership are 3rd world countries with lots of Black folks hence the emphasis on diversity/international BAME types
    Africans still love sporting Jordan/Bulls gear to this day long after that ship sailed here

    Africans aren't consumers. Asians & Arabs are and they want blacks on their best behavior

    Bro, this is pussy ass . I remember first hearing it on the radio thinking "yeah there's no way Silver takes this weak seriously". Black people need to GTFO with their attention whoring victim complex. There's a lot of legitimate cases of racism and those should be brought to the forefront but some of this is just fabricated.

    Trump pretty much openly declared war against Latinos and Middle Easterners and yet the public figures that are most outspoken about their dislike for him are all black. And I mean outspoken in the sense that they try to make it about themselves not in the sense that they are standing up for Latinos and Middle Easterners. They've kind of become the majority of the minorities with all their whining and have made other minorities an afterthought.

    Makes perfect sense, and it's the most minor of adjustments. One word. If this tiny thing upsets you, you really are the overly sensitive snowflake. And if you say something like "I'm done with the NBA" (for the hundredth time) then ing be done with it, and stop watching it and commenting on it, or you're just a big ol' ridiculous drama queen.

    imagine whining like a over a minor change in wording.

    Yeah, it’s stupid and pandering, but if it consumes you beyond rolling your eyes and then moving on, to the point where you feel the need to voice your anger, you’re probably a bigger pussy than the SJW’s who started it.

    I mean the owners are called owners in other leagues too. It's not like that's just the case in the NBA where players are primarily black. The NHL is primarily white and they have owner. Soccer leagues around the world have owners.

    Amazing that a mouthbreathing donkey can stomp his hoof about this and Silver bends over.

    Soon “governor” will be replaced too, because it will be associated with rich white men
