Great job by the Jets and Raiders leading the charge and getting this out early, and the Maple Leafs/Raptors and Saints following suit to an extent.

Generally, I avoid the dip####s of society as much as possible both in professional and personal life as my time, to me, is too valuable to spend hand-holding idiots. And that isn't an insult to those of you who spend countless hours trying to educate these people and convince them otherwise - you are truly better people than I am but I simply do not have the patience, or sympathy, necessary to join you. As someone who attends the Saddledome 30+ times a year, spending tens of thousands of dollars annually, any effort that minimizes the volume of morons in attendance gets my full support and I will voice this to my account representative.

Hopefully the Flames do everything possible to inconvenience the anti-vaccination crowd, up to and including outright banning them from the arena, for as long as possible. At a minimum, the Flames should mandate the unvaccinated take a rapid test provided by the Flames and at a hugely marked up cost in addition to their event ticket to attend. Want to attend unvaccinated? You need to be at the arena a minimum of 30 minutes before puck drop and pay $500 for a rapid test. Oh, your ticket cost $100? Looks like you're paying $600 to attend tonight. We'll lose you as a fan? Good, we don't want you as a fan - #### off.

And before the whiners bring up those who can't be vaccinated (because they really care about those people, right? Right?) obviously those people should be fully accommodated and expedited by the Flames.

One unintended benefit is the number of people who yell "shoot" during a powerplay, or who stand up on their cell phone waving at the camera during play, will be nearly fully eliminated and who doesn't want that.
