Here's a better one ...

I believe this is from Game 4 of the 1995 Stanley Cup Finals between the Detroit Red Wings and the New Jersey Devils. The background here is that the Devils' ownership was threatening to move the team to Nashville in a dispute over the team's lease with the New Jersey Sports & Exposition Authority. The story floating around at the time was that NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman was pushing for the move, and there was a lot of bad blood among New Jersey fans at a time when they should have been sitting back enjoying a marvelous Stanley Cup run.

Fox Sports interviewed him between the second and third periods of the game, and you can hear the fans in the background right off the bat. They start with a vintage "Bettman sucks!" chant, then graduate to a more colorful serenade of "Aaaassss-hole! Aaaassss-hole!" around the 0:45 mark.

The reporter at the start even says he can barely hear himself talk because it's so loud.

BETTMAN SUCKS

As the YouTube posted says ... I gotta give him credit for taking it well. LMAO.
