      Will ********* ever stop complaining?

      Adam silver is also mandating 1/2 the refs be skirts.

        Might give my money to NHL Center Ice instead of NBA League Pass this year. NHL has this wild and crazy concept of concentrating on their sport and not trying to change society as we know it.

            Who are the owners of SBR??? We are pretty much their slaves here, sitting and creating content and driving traffic to the site!

              Bl00dy ridiculous, but not surprising from him. This the guy that said half the refs and half the coaches should be women. Always meddling.

                  If it bothers you guys that much...send a letter to Donald Sterling. It's pretty obvious the change was made because of that.

                  Guess it's a story now because the media and everybody else are finding out about it, and governor just sounds weird. Couldnt they just have used CEOs, presidents, partners or something like that.

                    I wonder if any of these players have heard of Governor George Wallace.

                      I wonder if any of these players actually know anyone that's been enslaved or why they think they have any more right to be angry about it than anyone else. Never heard the NHL players complain?

                        Today in west africa there are over 40 million slaves. blacks in America get loads of free sh1t and affirmative action yet they're more bitter and angry than ever.

                            Funny thing is... I respect Sterling.... guy speaks like an NFL Owner. Honestly.... no difference. But the NBA is more civilized? ha

                            Let's face it... no owner wants to be recorded. But the guy spoke how EVERY OWNER THINKS. Except Sterling voiced his opinion.

                            All these owners... 100% suck ups... like CUBAN.

                              Who here among us thinks the term 'Governor' is less offensive than 'Team Owner'?

                              Not me.

                                    this is great, now people and players won't be upset and feel victimized

                                    everybody wins

                                    won't be anymore issues in the NBA

                                      its a good step but really governor is too high

                                      i wont be satisfied until the term gets below mayor

                                      and personally, councilman doesnt work because it degrades women

                                      councilPERSON is acceptable

                                      until then, i will boycott

                                        Very few people watch the games except at playoff time anyway, let them just keep self destructing, it serves them right.

                                        later

                                                Exactly. Millions still isn't enough. They feel they are slaves.

                                                    its not just black athletes. our whole culture is like this now. everyone is looking to be offended or play a victim for attention/money or to use it as an excuse to attack ppl and bully them.

                                                      Don't you have to be elected to serve as a governor of something?

                                                      If that's the case how does one campaign for, say, governor of the Knicks? Can I run for office and then fleece the team of revenue before being impeached by my constituents?

                                                        I wonder how many owners of slaves gave their workers $10 million dollars a year. NONE!
                                                        But the Governors did! lol

                                                          I'm offended by the title CEO, Chief Executive Officer is demeaning to Native Americans!
