Good start. Now, oust Bettman and all of the genocide supporting bigot russians.
Bettman is a laundry list of massive failures.
Besides giving into homophobia and other ethical issues, he's not even good from a business perspective.
Look at the growth of other sports compared to hockey during his tenure. Multiple failed teams and moves. Phoenix is a joke. There are 3 teams in CA and 2 in FLA... Despite wanting to spread the NHL to new regions.
He's made TV viewing a nightmare. You can't just buy an NHL package. There are home game blackouts, games and multiple networks that aren't packaged together for away games. And most recently this dipshit decided to make the boards a green screen with moving fucking ads DURING PLAY. As if hockey wasn't challenging enough to track the play.
Fuck Bettman.
Any commissioner that still has blackout restrictions in their league is a crappy commissioner.
The NHL is stuck in the 90s with that Clown
I don't even watch it anymore, haven't for about 10 years, ever since I ditched cable. I would love to watch again, but it's way too expensive for a subscription, and like you said, blackout dates, fucking bullshit. I'm not paying nearly $300 a year, to not be able to watch any fucking game I want.
Die in a fire Bettman.
I don't get why the owners keep him around.
3 teams in California, the most populous state and also the third largest? What’s the issue, exactly?
Probably unrelated
Too late, they've shown their bigot colors for everyone to see. Imagine being so uninhibitedly stupid as to go full bigot AND not go through with it so you don't even keep your bigot audience/owner segment happy meanwhile throwing up a klieg light of "boycott us" to the other 90% of your audience.
This is so much worse than the Donald Sterling moment for the NHL.
Lol seriously. They folded so goddamn fast too, which is telling
