I know some are defending Bettman for growing the business, etc. but I once attended a meeting at the invitation of a STH at which Bettman addressed a group of about 100 Flames fans and he was so incredibly sarcastic and disrespectful the entire time I couldn't believe it. It was a long time ago so this wasn't a verbatim quote exactly but one exchange went something like this:

STH asking a question respectfully - might have been about Oilers' draft streak or teams' role in paying for new arenas

GB cuts STH off mid-question, says "if you can tell me [fact related to question] I'll give you a cookie"

STH on the backfoot, guesses at the answer before trying to politely return to his question

GB cuts STH off again "no coooookie for yoooou... next question"

it went on an on like that. GB is a donkey.
