Today's Whisky Tango Foxtrot moment came in the form of a tweet from the Vancouver Sun's Lionel Wild
Click that link and your nightmares become real. What I thought was WAY BEYOND Canadian franchises, especially ones with such a storied history as the Oilers have. This is what the Oilers 'Media Spin Crew' have cooked up:
The Edmonton Oilers cheer team will “amplify the already electric in-game entertainment lineup for fans at Rexall Place” and “augment participation at events and community functions throughout Oil Country.” (via Edmonton Journal)
You've GOT to be kidding me..now granted, some nights the on ice product at Rexall Place isn't the best thing to look at, so a distraction from the teamis more then welcome. But cheerleaders? in a hockey rink? in places that actually SEE snow? Unless they're tossing me free t-shirts or Boston Pizza cupons, sorry, but not in my backyard.
Oilers CEO Patrick Laforge goes on to say that this is “another example of the Oilers responding to the wishes of our valued customers.” Patrick, the citizens of Edmonton want a new arena, not some Puck Bunnies in lulu lemon pants shaking their asses in the old one. This might be a New Era of Oilers Hockey but you're putting it in the wrong direction.
Wait you say there will be a calendar...
