Shouldnt a real Commisioner be singularly regarded as looking out for the best interests of the game? Not the best interests of the owners or players over each other, but what is equally fair to both in looking out for the best interests of the game? Can such a position be created.
No, the best interests of the owners is not the same as the best interests of the game.
Excellent thought. The Commish position should not be loyal to the owners and their board of Governors. it should be a neutral position that works with both sides for the best interests of the league and the game.
