They all suck,but I'll go with Bettman,as his sport isn't even playing right now,and the funny thing is no one seems to care.

That not only reflects on the commissioner but the players, owners, and hate to say it, the fans. I myself don't like Roger Goodell cause he takes things too personal and thinks of himself as the savior of the sport. He needs to go.

They are all jerks but I would have to say Bettman since the NHL is in a lockout and could lose another season. Godell comes second because I really hate the way he comes off as judge, jury and executioner. Selig is a complete idiot and Stern is the type of guy who is a schrewd businessman but will screw you over if he catches you slippin.

I went with Gary Bettman because he has HURT the sport his is suppose to be helping the most over his tenure. The NHL took a risky play by expanding a lot in areas where it is very hot outside and there is little to no ice any time of the year. Teams moved from Canada and northern states to southern states as well. They have also had way too many work stoppages that have destroyed any momentum they had with Crosby and Ovechkin. Now it looks like they will have to contract some teams in the future which will only hurt their image further.

Plain and simple, its Bettman!!!

3 lockouts under his belt and some questionable expansions/relocations as mentioned by Pwaldo do I need to say more?

I dont follw hockey at all so I had to go with Roger Goodell. The changes he wants to make to the game are ridiculous. No Kickoff,preseason,big hits,etc

Gary Bettman has been great for the NHL's owners, excruciatingly fungal for everyone else. He gets my vote as worst.

Goodell. Bettman never tried to sabotage a team's season. The league yes, but picking on specific people and teams, no.

Could throw that corrupt Mark Emmert in here too for what he did to Penn State

If Penn State didn't want to be punished then they shouldn't have let a pedo run wild on their campus. Football is not above the law and football is NOT I repeat NOT more important than stopping a guy from raping kids.
