As if controversy over the N-word were not enough to get the blood of many Americans boiling, now there’s an uproar over the O-word.
And what on earth is the O-word?
“Owner.”
Apparently the term is too offensive for some in the National Basketball Association, and now there are reports that numerous teams in the NBA have had high-level discussions about moving away from the word “owner.”
TMZ Sports says two teams have already implemented that policy.
“We’re told the conversations essentially center around the idea that the term, owner — in a league where the majority of the players are black — feels racially insensitive,” TMZ reported.
The move away from the “Big O” comes on there heels of comments by Draymond Green, a player for the Golden State Warriors, who appeared on LeBron James’ show, “The Shop,” late last year and argued against teams uttering the word.
“You shouldn’t say owner,” Green said. “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.”

Ah, today’s installment of The Daily Offense. What will tomorrow’s offense be? Will cabbage remind someone of “Slave Food”; therefore Cole Slaw will be labeled as “problematic”?
“Owner?”
“O-face?” I’d be happy to own, or at least have the wherewithal to own, a major sports team. And many other things, too.
This is what the left does create divisions and waste everyone’s time energy and resources on nonsense.
and I think it’s time someone gave it a name. It’s ‘oppressturbation,’ the act of simulating oppression when you can’t get the real thing.”
I have No Tolerance,
For Intolerance!
But I haven't been back there for many, many years. Probably doesn't even exist, anymore
Black snowflakes?
What about the praise for “black owned businesses?”
They’re basing this on the majority of the league being black. Did it ever occur to them that it’s racist for blacks to get all those millions and exclude whites from it? Why don’t we have diversity forced into that like everywhere else? If we don’t want more whites in there at least make it 35% Hispanic.
Just watch, my comments which are meant to be sarcastic will be the official party line within a few years maybe with transgenders thrown into the mix.
They will not stop they will always become more and more radical.
I guess ‘Massa’ is out, too.................
I don’t give basket ball or most sports a thought. These people are overpaid showboats. If they couldn’t play sports they’d be digging ditches, skid row bums or pimps.
I’ve already given this much more time than it merits.
I am the master of my domain.
Just a PS. How about calling him THE GUY WHO WRITES MY CHECK? That sounds like BOSS to me.
Dopes.
