NBA Commissioner Adam Silver said the NBA will look to move away from the use of the term "owner" to describe those with controlling interest of teams in favor of terms like "Governor of the team," "alternate Governor," or even "Chairman." https://www.cbsnews.com/news/nba-commissioner-adam-silver-said-basketball-league-may-phase-out-use-of-the-term-owner/ ...

Makes sense and who cares. If you actually care you're probably a racist. This is so insignificant of a change to anyone not racist. Especially when these "owners" are being caught using the N word it's just good for morale if not anything else

Well one NBA owner was forced to sell a team for using racist language and an NFL owner literally referred to NFL players protesting as inmates running the prison so theres at least some context.

People are mad at black people using the n word cause they flipped a word white people used on them and now white people finally can get in trouble for something black people can't.

These big companies do this to make money. Of course, but I think pandering to the extreme crowd and being faux progressive does a disservice to actual progressiveness.

Players came to the commissioner with an issue
He, instead of balking, actually listened The league is adopting the policy without incident This is why people actually enjoy playing for that league, where it seems like more and more, NFL players do it IN SPITE of management --- nothing is a greater tell of an awful human than using "social justice warrior" as a pejorative. without exception.- Bomani Jones ...
