On page 29 of ESPN the Mag it gives the % of approval to the commishs of each major sports leagues. It doesn't have a source and whether it is based upon players and management or the fans themselves.

Roger Goddell recieves 80% approval rating being the highest.....

Can you believe that Gary Bettman gets a 55% approval rating....

[M0DAN01999 6]

way to high for Bettman

[FLWINGSFAN4013 5]

even if that were the disapproval rating that would be too low.

55% why do I highly doubt that. The man gets booed in every Arena, and probably just about every canadian hates him. The whole Red Wing Fan base hates him.I think those numbers are flawed.

But owners love him for some reason, so the survey is probably a combination.

For a number that high, some of the owners must have voted twice.

My only question is, how much money changed hands over this??? There had to be some bribery involved for a stat that high.

Whoa, that's way too high for either of them. Goddell is ruining football with his wannabe dictator mentality and well Bettman...is Bettman..nuff said.

Crosby stuffed the ballot!!!

Crosby stuffed the ballot!!!

Stuffed like he did Bettman?

[HenrikRules40 14]

Relax. 43% of statistics are made up right on the spot.

Nice....

I think you're on to something there. I was going to blame the Montreal fans, but if they had done it I'm pretty sure Komisarek would have won!

That "some reason" is because he has made the NHL the most profitable it ever has been... Look up the numbers, the Lock Out in the end was orchestrated really by the owners and benifited them greatly
