Gary Bettman under fire after Allan Walsh calls for his dismissal
Notable NHL player agent Allan Walsh is back in the spotlight today, demanding the termination of commissioner Gary Bettman for his recent comments on CTE.
Bettman has consistently denied the connection between repeated head trauma and CTE, despite the tragic deaths of former NHL enforcers like Rick Rypien, Steve Montador, and Chris Simon, who all took their own lives.
«Having said that, I think it's well documented with all the progress that we've made over the last couple decades to make the game as safe as possible.»
Walsh issued a strong statement, urging all stakeholders in the game to demand Bettman's resignation due to his refusal to acknowledge CTE. He emphasized the collective power of owners, players, media, and fans to push for change.
How many more Gary?
Bettman's recent remarks suggest a wait-and-see approach regarding CTE, which has drawn criticism. His stance is reminiscent of the NFL's reluctance to acknowledge the link between head trauma and CTE. Walsh believes Bettman's position is untenable given the gravity of the issue.
