Western Hockey League commissioner Ron Robison ordered the Portland Winter Hawks to restructure their front office on account of being terrible. The team has lost 18 games in a row (but one of them was in OT!) and have barely more than half as many points as the next worst team. The owner/GM, Jim Goldsmith, owns a New York real estate firm, which I'm sure gives him lots of time to analyze players throughout western Canada. Nope, nobody ever got tied up closing a real estate deal...neeeeeeever happens.
We need this kind of leadership throughout sports, and even beyond. If Ron Robison were the GM of the NBA, Isiah would have been deported. Not just fired and banned from the NBA, but banned from America. If Robison were president, Alberto Gonzalez never would have been able to fire those prosecutors for political reasons because Robison would have snuffed it out in a heartbeat and beaten Gonzalez with his own briefcase.
In short, Ron Robison is now my favorite commissioner ever.
