Sports teams in America have mostly all consistently referred to the executives who hold the majority stake in a sports team as the ‘Owners’ of that said team. However, it was revealed recently that the NBA has decided to move away from that term in favor of the term ‘Governor.’ This development has largely been attributed to comments Draymond Green made last year on Lebron James’ show The Shop.
“You shouldn’t say owner. 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.”

I won’t pass a verdict on this change, as I know we are at a sensitive point in our country where people don’t like a sportswriter like me to weigh in on… anything that doesn’t happen on a field or court, but I’ll just say that it’s cool that a Spartan like Draymond could potentially have so much influence in the NBA.
