calling a team franchise owner an "owner" somehow signals the perception of slavery.

Slaves had to work for no pay. Maybe we could differentiate these players by paying them a bazillion dollars for playing games in short pants.

TMZ Sports reports that two teams have already renamed their ownership and the league is looking at possibilities for renaming franchise executives in a way that's more respectful to players.
