An Open Letter to Gary Bettman
Last week an organization known as League of Fans sent an open letter
to Gary Bettman calling for a ban on fighting in hockey. League of Fans is a sports reform project
founded by Ralph Nader to encourage social & civic responsibility in sports
industry & culture. You can visit
their website here. After a conversation with Ken Reed, Sports Policy Director for League
of Fans, I agreed to repost the letter on my site and hopefully give them some
additional visibility.

random and look at them in detail to see if we can understand the crucial role
of the enforcer.
