The Saskatchewan Roughriders and other major sports teams teams could find themselves in a deep financial hole if they refuse to implement a COVID-19 vaccine passport system, say experts in sports management.

Marvin Ryder, a professor of sports business strategy at McMaster University, said an anti-passport fan revolt is highly unlikely, given the surging COVID numbers and hospitalizations. Ryder said the vocal minority claiming infringements on individual liberty is rapidly losing support.

"If you put in vaccine passports, a large number of people would be thrilled. But there will be [other] people who won't be thrilled. And you know what they're going to do. They're going to write letters to the editor. They're going to say 'I never thought my team would do this. I am so offended. I'm never going to a game again,'" Ryder said.

"Those threats are usually hollow. If you were a diehard Roughriders fan, eventually they start winning, your friends are going, so you'll come back."
