The hate on Bettman is not unique to Winnipeg. Look how he gets boo’d when he steps up to talk at the draft every year.
I like how he has embraced the role. And smiles when it happens. Kind of like a wrestling heel.
Truth is he has done a lot to grow the game and revenue in his time as commish.
At the end of the day, put yourself in his shoes. His son just got drafted into the CFL. How proud would you be? I'd dare bet most people here would even cheer for Saskatchewan if their son were drafted by the Riders.

Game 2 was also getting sparse, but managed to grab two tickets.
