NHL Lockout creation of conniving, manipulative American lawyers
Anything and everything anytime
NHL hockey players are not rocket scientists or brain surgeons. Most are above average intelligent, but many depend on outstanding physical attributes as opposed to very high I.Q.’s. Some excel at both I.E. Gretzky and Crosby.
But when an egotistical ambulance chaser like Donald Fehr starts playing with their minds, many of these NHL players get very confused and ultimately get abused. Fehr is exploiting the stupidity of the players. If they sit out the entire 2012-2013 season these players will never recoup the salary they will lose. But Fehr has the players brain washed and screw the fans.
Bettman is another snake charming shyster law school graduate.
Bettman was born in Queens, New York. He studied Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where he was a brother of the Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity, and graduated in 1974. After receiving a Juris Doctor degree from New York University School of Law in 1977, Bettman joined the New York City law firm of Proskauer Rose Goetz & Mendelsohn.
The NHL Players Association is represented by another reprobate American attorney.
Donald Martin Fehr (born July 18, 1948) is the executive director of the National Hockey League Players Association. He previously served as the executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association from 1986-2009.
Fehr was born in Marion, Indiana, the son of Irene Sylvia (née Gulko) and Louis Alvin Fehr. He was raised in Prairie Village, Kansas. He graduated from Indiana University and was a member of Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity. Fehr received his law degree from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law.
As a young lawyer Fehr assisted the MLBPA in the Andy Messersmith and Dave McNally arbitration case (later known as the Seitz decision). In 1977, Marvin Miller hired Fehr as the Players Association general counsel.
In December 1985, Fehr was voted executive director of the MLBPA after having served as acting director since December 9, 1983. Fehr successfully challenged the owners’ collusion, leading to the owners paying $280 million in damages to the players.
Fehr led the players union through the 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike and subsequent World Series cancellation. He is a protégé of Marvin Miller.
Fehr was instrumental in implementing the rejection of future admissions into the MLBPA by replacement players who planned to fill in during the strike of 1995.
On June 22, 2009, Fehr announced his intention to step down as the MLBPA executive director position, recommending Michael Weiner as his successor. This was subject to the approval of the union’s executive board and possible ratification by all players. He officially relinquished his job to Weiner in December, 2009. Shortly after leaving his position as Executive Director of the MLBPA, Fehr took up a position as an advisor to the NHL Players’ Association. On December 18, 2010, Fehr was voted in by the NHLPA as their executive director.
With the NHL locking out at midnight on September 15, 2012, Fehr has become the only Executive Director to be directly involved in work stoppages in two sports. Six of the eight contract negotiations he has been involved in have resulted in work stoppages, including five consecutive negotiations between the MLBPA and Major League Baseball.
Bettman and Fehr are going to go down in sports history as leaders that caused the greatest work stoppages of all time.
The hockey arenas in the league will stay empty with these two scumbuckets locking horns.
