Warriors co-owner regrets writing 'hoodish'

OAKLAND, Calif. - Golden State Warriors co-owner Peter Guber wrote to team employees to say that he regrets if anybody was offended by his unintentional use of ''hoodish'' in an email.

Yahoo Sports reported late Monday night that Guber listed ''hoodish'' as one of the languages he planned to learn as he replied to a team email praising the franchise for having five international players on this season's roster. Guber, who is Jewish, responded later that he intended to type Yiddish.

The Warriors confirmed the authenticity of the emails to The Associated Press on Tuesday morning. The emails come at a time when the NBA is still reeling from other league executives making racially charged statements.
