WOW loaded question.

Lets see.

Contenders.

Bud Selig

Knows about steroids for decades as an owner.
Very indifferent to them as an owner.
Then all of a sudden comes under the gun by the media and fans and pretends like he had no idea it was a part of baseball.

Takes a practice baseball game and determines who will get homefield advantage in the world series.

Has absolutely no vision for the future etc....


Roger Goodell

A complete dictator.
Does not mind his own business.
He is a classic legislator of morality like the far right wing republicans who feels like they can tell you how to live your life.

I understand that you want to keep a good public image of your sport, but there is a point where you can go too far and Roger has done this many times.


He is just about turned the NFL into a non contact sport.

Not because he wants it to be safer, only because he wants you to think that he wants it safer.

In one moment he will preach safety, safety, safety, and in the next he will preach wanting an 18 game season.

Then another day he will talk about getting rid of kickoffs, but then at the same time not require players to wear a mouth piece or knee pads.

He is an unreal hypocrite just like a right wing conservative thats against abortion but has a secret affair with women and gets her pregnant and his a secret abortion.

The Saints bounty thing was nothing more then him trying to look like he cares about players safety so he can use that in court when the ex players go after billions.

David Stern

What a prick.

Is there any sport that has had more controversy when it comes to officials, outcomes of games etc..?

Where there is smoke there is fire.
Im not saying everything that ref said that went to jail is true, but how could anyone watch that Sacramento/LA series not come to the conclusion that something was very fishy in that series.

If you dont know what im talking about just YOUTUBE the LA/Sacramento series from back then.

Then you have the NBA lottery.
Hey man why cant you have a live lottery?
Mega Millions does a live lottery with 500million on the line. You can do the same.
If you dont do it live in front of everyone there is always going to be people like Jim Rome who is going to question you.

And come on man.
You are the commissioner of a billion dollar corporation.
You dont get on national radio and ask someone who has never beaten his wife if he quit beating his wife.

What a lowlife thing to do.

Stern? Really? NBA is more popular than ever.

Selig for me and it's no contest. Baseball is stuck in the 1940's and Selig refuses to make changes.

I was picking biggest douche I think... I see your point. Can't imagine anyone picking Goodell.

Gonna go Selig...Any idiot who doesn't allow video of great moments in their sport on youtube is just a moron.

Way to make the game grow with young people. Why you guys think NBA is doing so well ratings wise this playoffs? Some of it is probably as simple as 19 year old college kids can watch any moment of any big game ever when they are high as hell on a Wednesday at 2 in the afternoon in their dorm room.

Stern is an arrogant puffy little spoiled dough boy with a god complex. I'd like to see him take a punch to that fat gut of his and watch him hurl.

I have had this conversation with many and I always say Selig

Goodell as a choice is silly....

Stern is a prick but I he really has made the NBA a superstar league....Jordan owes stern a gazillion dollars....same for all the others that followed who had their own shoes, commercials, etc.

selig.

stern is the best commish in all of sports. compare the nba popularity wise and business wise to where it was before he took over and its night and day.

goodall was handed the keys to a ferrari. we'll see if he crashes it in the next decade or so, but he can't be in the discussion.

bettman has been a disaster for the nhl, but hes not in the poll.

What Sal said.

Apparently many here have not heard this guy through the years or followed the NBA closely.

Not sure what some are talking about saying Stern has made it a better league since in the last decade the league's Image has worsened year after year for many reasons.

And some like to use the word conspiracy, but most believe there is no doubt that Stern has tampered with the NBA draft through the years.
There have been too many 'coincidences' or cases of ridiculous luck yet Stern won't even acknowledge the complaints, doesn't want to hear it, and won't address it by changing the format instead of running the Lottery secretly...

David Stern by a mile; no commissioner deserves credit for increased popularity and salaries because those have surged in all three sports (and hockey) in the last thirty years.

Stern has done alot for the NBA,especially the drug issue when he took over. I cant see what he has done in the last 10 years though.
