The NBA may be backing down from using the word “owner” due to racial insensitivity.

After Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green argued against using the term on LeBron James’ HBO show “The Shop” late last year, the issue gained steam, per TMZ Sports, and at least two teams have already stopped using it.

“You shouldn’t say owner,” Green said, saying it should be changed to CEO, chairman or majority shareholder.

The Sixers have since changed the title of their owners to managing partners, and Steve Ballmer of the Clippers is listed as chairman on the team’s website.

“When your product is purely the labor of people, then owner sounds like something that is of a feudal nature,” Jon Stewart said on “The Shop.”

However, TMZ notes that there isn’t pressure coming from the NBA to change the titles.

“We refer to the owners of our teams as Governors,” the league told TMZ in a statement, “each team is represented on our Board of Governors.”
