NHL CAVES to Media Pressure & Promotes PRIDE...AGAIN

Before the NHL season began...NHL commissioner Gary Bettman issued a policy that banned the use of themed tape. Even though the ban covered all tapes...the mainstream media only focused on the ban of pride tape. Last week...NHL player Travis Dermott defied the ban and utilized pride tape during a game.

Instead of Gary Bettman enforcing his own policy...the NHL commissioner dissolved his original ruling. We react to Gary Bettman folding to media pressure...and eliminating his ban on pride tape. We discuss the weak leadership of Gary Bettman...and question if it could negatively impact the NHL this season.
