Climate protesters delay Harvard-Yale football game after staging sit-in on field
Published 3 hours ago
by Sam Dorman | Fox News

Saturday's Harvard-Yale football game came to a halt after climate protesters staged a sit-in during halftime and refused to leave.

A few dozen protesters made their way onto the field. Some held signs demanding that Ivy League schools divest from the fossil fuel industry. Others had signs that raised issues of Puerto Rican debt and the treatment of the Uighurs in China.

The incident ended after about an hour when police escorted some of the protesters off the field. A handful of others were arrested.  ...

They should have resumed playing and just had the linebackers, et al., run over the idiot protesters. Assumption of risk.

If I had kid at an Ivy league school or whatever school, and I'm shelling out hundreds of thousands of dollars for them to go there, and they do crap like that, they don't get another red cent from me.

Protesting the climate?  Good luck with that.

Were they protesting on grass or astroturf?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

...   According to the Guardian, students began campaigning in 2012 for both schools to stop investing in oil, gas and coal companies that contribute to the climate crisis. “They believe that they can engage with these companies and get them to change their fundamentally extractive business models, which we think comes from a place of naivety amounting to gross negligence,” Yale student Nora Heaphy told the Guardian.

So interrupting one of the most historic college football games of all time is going to help your mission on climate change? No, it’s not. You’re just proving to the rest of middle America what we already know. You’re a bunch of pompass assholes that think only your issues matter.   ...

... In a statement, Yale labeled the protests launched by demonstrators as “regrettable,” and wrote that while the institution “stands firmly for the right to free expression,” it does “not allow disruption of university events.”

According to ESPN, players were stretching and warming up on the field in anticipation of halftime being over when the protests began, which drew fans from the crowd to the field and even a few boos.

“Hey, hey, ho, ho, fossil fuels have got to go,” protestors chanted during the demonstration.  ...

History is spotted with episodes of mass hysteria. This latest iteration of ‘the sky is falling’ is rather pervasive and persistent, though.

But aren’t we just so lucky to be here for this historically significant event when planet earth lost its mind!

Each team motto really captures the team’s spirit and drive.

Yale: “The fighting insurance salesmen!”

Harvard: “Make ‘em prove it in court!”

"Hey, hey, ho, ho..."

Trademark '60s protest chant....

The Redux continues...

You'd think all these 'great minds' and stuff could come up with something new, but it's likely they're being spoon fed this dreck.
