Climate change activists protested earlier this year and delayed the Tour de France and professional tennis. You can now add college football to that list, as wackos took over the field during Saturday’s Yale-Pennsylvania match and delayed it for one hour.
Halftime of Penn’s homecoming match was delayed by 60 idiots who occupied the football field. Breitbart reported that they are part of the Fossil-Free Penn group, which is pressuring Penn to completely abandon fossil fuels.
Fossil Free Penn distributed a pamphlet to the Ivy League football match in which they stated that they had been camping on Campus Green for 39 consecutive days and Penn “has not done anything.”
“We do not intend to end the game. We want to delay it.” They added that Penn could be a champion for climate justice and community justice.
The radical organization also posted a Twitter video of a Yale fan trying to take a climate nuts’ banner, and being stopped by a stadium security guard.
However, 14 climate change protesters were arrested by police for interfering with the football game. According to a Sports Illustrated report, other protestors continued to disrupt the football game while the second half began.
Yale’s previous football game at Yale was also disrupted by the Ivy League. Climate protesters marched onto Yale Bowl’s field in 2020 (photo). They demanded that Harvard and Yale divest from fossil fuels. They held a sign that read: “Nobody wins: Yale & Harvard are complicit with climate injustice.” Around 150 people sat in a field, delaying the second half by 45 minutes. They also tweeted that Harvard University and Yale had “no right to profit from the destruction of the land and planet.”
Climate protesters disrupted Tour de France’s 10th stage in July. We reported that protesters lit flares and spread smoke across the road, obscuring sight for cyclists. They also attempted to stick themselves to the road. They also tried to stick their heads together by wearing shirts that said, “Only 989 days are left to save our future.”
A female climate alarmist tied herself to a net during an active French Open tennis match this spring so that she could display a doomsday sign saying, “We have 1,028 Days left.”
