Petition against the creation of an Edmonton Oilers Cheer Team

"NOOOOO!!! This is totally tacky! Don't even believe there's a demand for this?? I will not be taking my kids to anymore games if this happens!! City Edmonton"

"I cannot believe this I am extremely outraged at the prospect of these young ladies tooting and booting themselves in front of thousands of people. Given that they are probably already selling their bodies, It does indeed do them a good deed, but this is "

"Ruining the sport! This isn't a NFL team or a NBA team. Especially, this isn't an American team. I've supported Oilers through crappy trades and decisions, but this is not one City Toronto, Ontario"

"keep the hockey the same City edmonton"

"cheer teams are for American football, not Canadian hockey! City Edmonton"

"This is not the tradition of hockey, and the wrong way to drum up more fans. I am confused as to why this is such a big "need"... City Edmonton"

"Hockey is in our blood, and it got to be so by being exactly the game that it was when our fathers and grandfathers played it. Keeping tradition is important to almost every Canadian that I know, yet lately so many American businesses and nay-sayers have "

"I always thought the fans who filled every seat in the arena were the oilers cheer team. I really don't think we need scantily dressed men or women prancing about on the stairs. The thought is pure embarrassment. City Morinville, AB"

"There is a reason that US teams have cheerleaders, we sell out every game even during the worst season. Why change anything? City Edmonton"

"ridicilous - I've been to an american game and found them just distracting and took away from the game! City Grande Prairie"

"Why do we need to bring the 'sex' factor to hockey? Some of us enjoy watching hockey just for the hockey. I think attendance at Rexall is high enough that skantily clad women aren't needed. This is hockey. Not the NBA. Keep it that way! City Edmonton"

"keep the cheer team!!!!!! City everywhere on earth"
