With armageddon happening in the NFL, David Stern's laundry list of terrible decisions, and Bud Selig's ever-present steroids demon (kane) lurking.......... is Bettman the least-terrible commissioner in pro sports?

Probably not fair to include Stern in that since Silver is now NBA commissioner, but for the sake of argument let's consider Stern's legacy since Silver's hasn't really started yet.
Nope. Might be the worst overall. Goodell is very close although his tenure hasn't come close to killing the league like with Bettman.

Least terrible is probably the MLS commish mostly because he's been smart enough to grow the league slowly and limited his bad stuff to a minimum.

Can easily see a 4th be possible if he's around by then since the recent one was all the owners fault and felt more like a delay than getting anything huge done long term wise.
