His admittedly disgusting emails about concussion have no relevance on this matter.
And do you think this is Bettman's call? He is the voice of the owners. If he is saying they aren't going - it isn't because Bettman doesn't want to go, it is because the owners don't want to go.

The emails have no relevance on going to the Olympics or not. Someone else called the IOC a terrible organization, which they are. The NHL isn't exactly a beacon of ethical behaviour either.
And I agree, this is as much or more on the owners as it is Bettman. They all just want to maximize profits today and this whole thing was a powerplay to try and squeeze more money out of another organization.
