Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Even more so the front office keeps getting redone. It’s a disaster of a franchise right now and that pleases me.

Agree, the current playoff format is garbage and keeping his pet project Coyotes in Arizona. Other than that, Bettman has had a great run as commish

Also rumored to be a candidate for the President's next Chief of Staff.
Labor Secretary doesn't qualify you to serve as a union's executive director?

Maybe next year.
Marty's got his flaws, for sure, but he is absolutely qualified.
Posted before reading yours.
agreed.
Politics aside his entire adult life has been as a laborer and part ofUnion Labor in a variety of roles.
He has the resume and experience. Whether he’d be good in this role , who knows?
But to question if he’s qualified isnt sound.

Maybe next year.
My sole point in posting. Like you said, I have no idea if he'd be good in the role, but he certainly knows his labor law.

The 30 key moments in Gary Bettman's 30 years in the NHL
From expansion to TV deals to outdoor games and more, here are the moments that define Bettman's three-decade tenure.
Same thoughts I had when Charlie Baker randomly joined the NCAA after being governor here.
I don't see them real fits for the roles that are required for the job. It means nothing to me that he's serving the president or has been a long member with the union. The guy is a tool and shady and I'll leave it at that.
Good luck to him if that's the role he wants and they want him too.
That's fine!
I never liked the guy. Found him to be very rude off camera. And I've been in his presence a dozen times. First time I chucked it up to being overwhelmed by people or nerves. But from then on it was the same old interaction. Many people I know who work or worked with certain unions don't have good things to say either.
But I know overall he has the support of the unions overall. So my opinion of him doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. I don't think he should be involved in sports. Same way as Baker. But again, my opinion doesn't matter haha. Good luck to him!
Well when you distill a product down to the video game version absent of rivalry, a good chunk of its physicality and in markets it wasn’t desired to begin with…..you get 22% viewership drops (or %VD I guess?)
Certainly qualified and anyone who said otherwise doesn't know their ass from their elbow.
