Now That NBA Owners Are No Longer Owners
What term should we start calling them?
I hadn't thought of Princeps when I started making the poll, but a great Roman term that means "first citizen" has merit.

You Will.
Okay, I know a lot of people have given-up on the NBA, and for far less retarded things.

Is it some weird p.c. stuff?

Yep. They are going to stop calling the NBA owners, "Owners." Because, having a rich white guy owning mostly black players is perceived as offensive (and, I would guess, the spirit of the 13th Amendment).

My man Draymond Green is one of the leaders of this movement. When you think about it the players are just a small number when it comes to overall employees of an NBA organization. But as he argues they are the face of the organization.
I generally try to see things from others perspective but this one I don't get. Yes a majority of the players in the league are black but so what? The team owners don't "own" the players anymore than any other organization's owners "own" their employees. You have a contract, you work for them. But no one owns you.
There was a (small) movement in SF awhile back where they wanted to outlaw people "owning" pets. I forget the term they wanted to use instead but it was a similar concept.
