It's my understanding the Jets owner has asked folks not to boo Bettman... And I suppose that makes sense, it being opening night for the rebirth of the Jets and all in Winnipeg... HOWEVER, *I* live not in Winnipeg, but a suburban city of Los Angeles County, where booing big names and jeering idols is practically in the water supply (among other things...) SO, *I* have no reason to boo Buttman, he deserves it, being the worst Comish in history. The one thing to his credit from my vantage point--the creation of my Ducks--was going to happen anyway, the NHL really became a big thing for the 1980s and 1990s in So. Cal after Gretzky got here, and as LA/ANA had two teams in MLB, the NFL, and the NBA already it made sense, and the Ducks were all but confirmed when Buttman took the reigns anyway, and Disney's world domination-type power made the Anaheim venue all the more certain... SO I give him zero credit for the creation of my team, and give him a good deal of "credit" for ruining the league once we got here, and for losing a whole damn season with the strike. SO I BOO HIM AS A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE!

If it wasn't for Bettman there would be no Jets 2.0.
Although Bettman has been reluctant to work with Canadian teams in the past the Jets left the first time due to simple economics.
Show some class Winnipeg!
