Gail Miller will be the Governor of the Jazz

[Ellipse]

So how many Governors can a team have? Is the minority owner … err, lesser governor called the Lieutenant Governor? I guess we could number them -- Governor 1, Governor 2, Governor 3...

They should call the owners majesty or king. That'd be sweet. Like the king of kings.

I don't think Americans should use the term triggered, it seems a little insensitive

Why?

The majority of NBA players are black where a lot of their ancestors were slaves. The players make up the team, the team has an owner. So, vicariously it's just like saying you own the players.

Im a white guy from Utah, I'm not offended by either term, im NOT a black NBA player, so I cant say "it's not offensive" just because IM not offended by it.

What about the black players who ancestors owned slaves? Hilarious how so many people think everything is cut and dry.

Lol at the people that think if you have a discussion at something you disagree with then that means you're triggered, upset, passionate, snowflakes.

Gawd damn it.

Don't be that guy

a person charged with thed or control of an institution, society, etc.

a ruler or chief magistrate

Was this in some other country? I don’t recall blacks owning slaves in America.

The NBA is striving to be a global product. Slavery is a colorblind atrocity across the globe across history.

Governor is stupid. Owner may offend. Just find a term that makes sense.
