Officials say play between Coco Gauff and Karolína Muchová during a U.S. Open match was delayed after a climate activist “glued his feet to the cement floor,” and along with two others shouted, “End fossil fuels.”

#USOpen #Protest #Tennis

They should have left the person who glued themselves to the ground. Made sure they had NOTHING but what they were wearing. Take away their cell phones and anything that would have aided in removing the glue. Left them there overnight. Then put them in jail.
I salute these protesters. Everyone else is acting as if they don't care. Throughtout all of human history, all the noticable changes that have ever happened in this world were never initiated by the vast majority but by a rare and brave few individuals.
Due to this protest, I'm purposely going to drive my V8 more, punching the gas and lighting up the Hemi as much as possible, all in the name of these WOKE leftwing losers who have no purpose in life, other than to be a distraction to others who have a purpose in passion!
Woke Democrat Biden-voters at it again 🙄
They gave a bad name to their cause
Clowns ruins the the moment for everyone
More performative nonsense. Just the fact these pompous twits think none of us are doing anything, and they are the only ones who care….it's enraging. Thankfully, these idiots are not putting me off of doing what I can for the environment.
That glue was made by fossil fuel, they went to that game on fossil fuel and they live in houses that was made by fossil fuel, hypocrites………..
I saw the guy glued his bare feet down, howd they get him up?
Listen to the portly boy with the cell phone.
Every fan near them should have said More Fossil Fuel
I hope the climate protestors read this. I went out in my backyard and burned a stack of tires in your honor
This is not about protesting cases no way acting like this helps. It seems there are ppl who thrive on negative attention.
The stupidity is real
Pour used engine oil over them and give them a match. Losers.
Since when is shouting at a sporting event illegal?
Extinction rebellion and these other climate extremists should be declared terrorist organizations, as the methods and tactics terrorize ordinary people and hinder them from living a normal life.
Ahh the Climate Hoax cult at it again.
NBC loved them I am sure.
These are the peaceful ones… continue to give them no choice, popcorn is ready.
I wonder if the woman in the yellow shirt realizes that her breast implants come from oil products?
The thing about climate martyrs that stands out is without an audience their nothing and they rarely protest without cameras on them. Their vanity is next, since they are almost addicts of self adulation to the endorphin rush they get gluing themselves to artworks etc and the spectacle they make. Your not going to find them laying in front of tractors at a nearby farm yelling no fossil fuels or insisting that the walk to jail not ride when arrested…👾
Stupid tactic.
Try that at a golf course and see what happens! 🤣🤣🤣
These people are just self-centered, egotistical fools. They don't care about the people who they hurt through their actions. The really funny thing is, if something like this happened at any other sporting event around the world, ESPN would have had it at the top of their headlines. Being that the even was shown on ESPN, they have not even addressed the situation in their online headlines. They have basically ignored the issue, kind of like what nbc does with any biden family related issue.
I LOVED!!!! the disruption at the US Open!!! Just like the movie said they drew first blood. The US Open has this horrific 50 year of equal pay theme going on including a big ceremony. Look I don't care what they pay the women pay them more for all I care but it is not equal. The Men pay best 3 out of 5 sets and the women play best 2 out of 3. Tell me how that is equal? Same pay for less work. I am so SICK of sports and corporations pushing an agenda and I don't care who's agenda it is. I want to watch sports not get a political lecture of some ideology. Just so you know I am a huge believer in mine the earth first and then move on to the rest of the planets LOL.
Spray them with an aerosol can like you would a cat with water bottle
What's her @?
👏 👏 👏 What an endorsement for the petrochemical industry for formulating a product that provides this anti-fossil fuel protester with a means to bond his feet to the floor!🙄
Now that's how it's done in America. We don't deal with these individuals with kid gloves like they do in England. We tell them to get out and if they don't we make them.
I’m done with this crap. It’s happening in every universe. Let us live in peace 😤
EVERY scientist knows that 90% of the earth's climate is determined by…………THE SUN.
Lucky for them, Left wing NY will immediately let them go free so they can commit more crimes.
If we suddenly banned fossil fuels, millions of people would start dying, including these young people. There would be no tennis or any other sport. There would be no medical care, social support, food or water for billions of people, proper sanitation or education systems: these are all provided by the wealth generated by fossil fuels. If the US did it alone, it would only delay global warming by a few years, because billions of Chinese and Indian people hope to be as privileged as these young people.
The screwball who glued his feet to the floor should of been left glued to the floor.
People are starting these fires then these idiots show up.
