Saturday afternoon, the Green Bay Packers hosted the Los Angeles Rams in a playoff game at frigid Lambeau Field. Aaron Rodgers created conversations with his play on the field, but he was not the only person doing so. The NFL on FOX sideline reporter Pam Oliver sparked concern on social media after delivering multiple updates about the game. Many people said she was slurring her words while speaking.
There were three primary conversations taking place following Oliver’s sideline reports. Some people joked about how she was “drinking” during the game, while others expressed concern about a potential medical issue. The third group, however, said that they would not allow any slander about the longtime reporter. These Twitter users said that it’s challenging to speak clearly when the temperature is at the freezing point or below.

Itโs COLD AF and sheโs been outside no less than 4-5 straight hours. Pam Oliver is one of the best to ever do it. https://t.co/Ib0iFb20Sp

What is going on with Pam Oliver? This is the second time Iโve heard her slurring. It doesnโt sound good at all.

Pam Oliver is a true pro. She is clearly frozen– I’ve been at that level of can’t-move-my-face cold– and she’s powering through to deliver for this broadcast on @NFLonFOX

Was Pam Oliver drunk or was about to have a stroke? Someone needs to check on her

Hi. I was once a sideline reporter for Monday Night Football and we had a game at Lambeau Field. It is incredibly hard to speak when youโre freezing cold, on your feet and outside for 4 to 5 hours straight. Pam Oliver is a pro and doesnโt need me to defend her, but I will. https://t.co/9Pr8X5GdoD

I have loved Pam Oliver since I was a little girl. She helped me fall in love with football. No Pam Oliver hate should ever be tolerated.
