What this episode covers

Why are sports commissioners so unpopular these days? Chad and John take a look at the frustrating alternate world commissioners seem to live in and ask how the position should change. We examine NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman's disastrous press conference in response to sexual assault allegations, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred's mishandling of the All-Star Game, and much more. In a world where empathy and compassion seem to be the best PR strategy, are our sports commissioners getting it all horribly wrong?
