Gary Bettman devils son? or Great Asset to the NHL?

Under: NHL
Gary Bettman he is 59 years old from Queens, New York studied at Cornell University and learnt Law at New York University School of law, so he does know the law that is good. In 1981 Bettman joined in to the Law department of NBA........wait so that's basketball then how did he get in the NHL basketball and NHL have completely different rules. Feb 1 1993 he became the commissioner of the NHL....wow a big jump for him i mean does he even know anything about hockey? just a question.
In 2004-2005 there was a lock out the NHL lost $300 million in 2002-2003 due to a claim that players salary had grown faster than revenues. Gary in 2004-2005 cancelled the season completely making a year without hockey players making money to feed their families and paying for their houses and a year that the fans don't get to watch the greatest sport known to man. Early July 2005 NHLPA and NHL agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement.
The deal featured a hard salary cap, linked to a fixed percentage of league revenues, a 24% rollback on salaries, and free agency beginning after seven years of service, Bettman was named the worst manager in the whole organization in 2004.
His name may be Gary Bettman but his nicknames are what every one knows him for, "Dirty Bettman" "Evil Batman" "Butt-wipe Bettman" or even "The Devils Son"
Gary Bettman is claimed to be the most hated man in the world, for what? well there are many rumors or theory's to what makes him hated so much...... 1) He pays the referees and fixes the games to what he feels is right, 2) He likes america too much and wants to protect them 3) He doesn't know a thing about hockey and is wasting both the money and time of the NHL. So many theory's but what could be true?
There may be theory sites like these ones, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=245878833147 http://thefanaticalfan.wordpress.com/2009/01/02/woo-for-pommer-and-d-alex-is-not-a-dirty-player/ http://www.katesgranola.com/gary-bettman-doesnt-want-canada-to-win-the-cup/ or hate sites like this one http://www.firebettman.com/ even tweets about it https://twitter.com/#!/DrJmac55/statuses/44196416167481344.
The weird part is the theory some say is that the referees are paid and that Bettman doesn't want Canada to win but the theory's seem pretty true...or is it just a coincidence that since Bettman became in-charge that a single Canadian team hasn't won the Stanley cup, the last time a Canadian team won was 1992-1993 season and that was Montreal Canadians vs LA Kings.
There is proof though about the referees and the organization fixing the games though like Chara's hit on Pacioretty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1enycgSIWJ4 and Zdeno Chara broke his neck and didn't get a single penalty nor did he get any suspension of any type all he did was apologize thinking it makes it all better which it doesn't, a few years back from that date Todd Bertuzzi broke the neck of Steve Moore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFVvLQU_cMo he got suspended and threw a hissy fit now he plays for the Detroit red wings.
there are many more videos out their i mean like the game on Dec 29th 2011 Nuks vs Ducks penalty's in there were not called or Dec 30th 2011 New Years LA Kings vs Nucks......LA won with dirty play there was penalty's not called as well. One game that was fixed on Jan 1 2011 was the dirtiest game ever i mean the camera man fully admitted on camera to him fixing the game and Gary Bettman did nothing about it.
so much makes people angry even a young girl said this about Gary "i cant believe Gary Bettman still has his job, i mean when my dad was young the game was fair not put in the hands of a money grabbing evil man who doesn't like the sport such as hockey"
Well that was well said but we cant be sure the man doesn't like the sport nor can we be sure he is fixing the game till we get more proof but to me the proof looks pretty legit to me, hope Bettman can show the board of the NHL he supports Canada and America or i think we might be looking at a chance to vote for a new Commissioner for the NHL.
