Yesterday the commissioners from the four major North America sports leagues were at an event and did a Q & A.

NHL commish Bettman: "We've had challenges with our union for as long as I've been commissioner."
NHL commish Bettman: "Historically, we have been underserved by traditional media."
NHL commish Bettman: The concern is making sure that millennials and Gen Z continue to want to watch team sports.
NHL commish Bettman: We're a small part of betting compared to football and basketball...I don't worry about fixing games.
Moderator Zaslav: How do you deal with violence in sports? NHL commish Bettman: You mean physicality, not violence.
NHL commish Bettman: The issue of fisticuffs in hockey gets overblown. It's an extremely small part of the game.
