PLEASE, stay home. It’s exactly the same. Don’t support the Oilers, don’t come to the games. It would be nice if we could just eliminate the part of the fan base.

I have a friend, not one of my closest friends but a friend and I am starting to wonder if should continue the friendship but he has been against all restrictions from day 1 and against vaccinations and will often posts stories and quotes comparing vaccine requirements to what the Nazi's did and it's getting to the point that it's too much for me. Saying that wanting people to get a vaccine to protect human lives that 100's, maybe 1000's of doctors and scientists world wide have studied and said is safe and comparing it to the Nazi's who committed genocide is pretty over the top.
On the OEG, I am happy about it. It's probably going to be a nightmare in the beginning for them but it's necessary in my opinion. People have a right to not get vaccinated but they don't have the right to potentially put other people in danger. There needs to be consequences to people's actions. There will be a small amount of people who won't go because of these restrictions which is fine but I am guessing the amount of people that will go now because of them will far, far exceed the few that don't.

I saw something on twitter today mentioning that while there's been a lot of grumbling from anonymous folks online today about this, there isn't a lot of evidence that there's a bunch of season tickets suddenly back on the market. You wonder how many empty threats there are, or threats from people who don't get many tickets anyhow. Tickets are pretty expensive - I imagine that more deniers come from groups that are less educated and make less money - they probably are a small minority of the ticketholders anyhow.

I don't purchase season tickets but I usually either buy mini packets or just purchase some through the buy sell on the Oilers site. For me, I would feel more comfortable going knowing people all around me are vaccinated.
There are going to be people who won't get it no matter what and will boycott whoever and that is fine. But what they have to realize is, why they are free to make that choice, there are consequences to your decision like it should be. They have the right to ignore science and decide what they put into their bodies. Go for it. But private business should also have the right to protect themselves and their business. Not only provide safety for their employees but also protect against the potential tremendous cost that a covid outbreak from an unvaccinated person could cause. An unvaccinated person comes in, spends a short period of time at that business, then leaves. But the ramifications they could cause that business by not be vaccinated and unknowingly spreading the virus could be HUGE and crippling to a business.
