Baggedmilk on #theLOCKERROOM: Vaccine Requirements

Happy Wednesday, Internet friends, and welcome to yet another chapter of your ol’ pal Baggedmilk’s adventures in radio. As I do every week, I jumped on the air with the boys on The Locker Room for a quick segment to talk about the Oilers while also offering my takes on anything else that’s going on in the world.
Even though there’s not much going on with the Oilers in terms of player news, the team did cause a stir this week when they announced that fans will have to be fully vaccinated or provide proof of a negative test if they want to go to games this year. Personally, this was a move that I’ve been expecting for a while now so to see the reaction really was interesting because of how truly split many of us are on the subject. Regardless of what your own stance is, I felt like this was a move that was bound to happen as major corporations like the Oilers look to have a season with fans in the building while also minimizing the overall risk to the public. Either way, it feels like this vaccine conversation will be ongoing as we’re still more than a month out from the start of the season, and it will be interesting to follow along and see what kind of changes (if any) happen before the October 13th season opener.
