How is speech being regulated? These teams chose to change the word "owner" to "governor." The government didn't force them to.

Dictated by another group. 

It is also simply untrue.

So those teams were held at gunpoint to make those decisions? Also, what's simply untrue?

Sounds like the conversation was started by an NBA player, not an outside group.

Quote

The conversation has been fueled by Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green, who first talked about the issue in 2017, and then brought it back to light on LeBron James' show The Shopin late 2018.

"You shouldn't say owner," said Green, who suggested teams use terms like CEO or majority shareholder, instead of owner. He continued his The Shop appearance by saying, "When you think of a basketball team, nobody thinks of the f---in' Golden State Warriors and think of that damn bridge. They think of the players that make that team... you don't even know what the f--- [the bridge] is called."

A year before that rant, Green said the term owner dates back to days of slavery, when, most often, aristocratic white men owned black slaves.

"Very rarely do we take the time to rethink something and say, 'Maybe that's not the way,'" Green said. "Just because someone was taught that 100 years ago doesn't make that the right thing today. And so, when you look at the word 'owner,' it really dates back to slavery. The word 'owner,' 'master' — it dates back to slavery... we just took the words and we continued to put it to use."

Owning a business is not owning people, you stupid dumbfucks.

I am flummoxed by this.  Should we just eliminate the word "owner" for any business that employs African Americans?
