Top NHL agent demands for Gary Bettman's firing after shocking report
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has just made an extremely serious statement. Agent Allan Walsh, along with various NHL stakeholders, has called for his immediate firing (or resignation).
Bettman's denial that head hits can lead to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a severe progressive degeneration of brain cells due to multiple head traumas, should lead to his immediate removal.
He endangers player safety and makes a mockery of the NHL.

This is the disease discussed in the popular film "Concussion," starring Will Smith, and it is a condition now recognized by the NFL.
Following Gary Bettman's extremely embarrassing statements, his right-hand man, Bill Daly, added fuel to the fire:
No Bill, the science is absolutely not lacking.
It's becoming difficult to believe what comes out of the mouths of Bill Daly and Gary Bettman, with statements like these.
In any case, let's just hope that the National Hockey League can get things right to prevent other former NHL players from developing this terrible medical condition.
