Climate Change Protester Ties Herself to Net During French Open Semifinal

A climate change protester interrupted the French Open semifinal match between Casper Ruud and Marin Čilić by rushing the court and tying herself to the net on Friday.

“We’ve got an interloper on the court,” the commentator said as the protester stormed the court. “Security in black sport coats is out to protect.”

The woman reportedly used a necklace to tie herself onto the net while donning a shirt that read “We have 1028 days left.” Her shirt also referenced a website that reportedly provided more insight into the reason for her protest.

“Today, I entered the field because I can no longer take the risk of doing nothing in the face of the climate emergency,” a screenshot from the website reportedly said.

The woman’s protest interrupted the tennis match for approximately 15 minutes.

Rudd, the match’s eventual winner, admitted the woman’s protest was “a bit scary,”

“It was a bit scary honestly and I didn’t know what was going on,” Rudd said. “It seemed she had tied herself and had something around her neck and they couldn’t get rid of her. I didn’t see the T-shirt and what she protested about.”

The young woman purchased a valid ticket to the game, according to the French tennis federation.

“An environmental activist managed to get onto Philippe Chatrier Court and attached herself to the net with metal wires and glue. The young woman, of French nationality, entered the grounds with a valid ticket early in the day. She was then handed over to the police,” the federation said in a statement.

😵‍💫🤬🤣🤣🤣 Used a necklace made from? And jeans handmade with a loom? Dyed with? Looks like an opportunity for some overhand serve accuracy practice. So, today we must be at 1027 days left depending on where your time zone is?

It would have been the stuff of legend had whatever player was on that side of the net started grabbing balls from the ball boy/girl and just started pelting that chick.

Pro tennis players can sling those things. They ain’t no suburban mom on Saturday morning playing some rec league in the swim/tennis subdivision.

Environmentalist/climate change types are dangerous…no, make that deadly to the rest of us. They must be repelled and turned back at every opportunity. They propose abandoning an energy-rich delivery system (oil) for unproven unicorn ideas (wind/solar). This is suicidal. I know I’m gonna die someday but it ain’t gonna be from those a-holes. We must not allow them to gain footholds on our lives.

I’d say 99% of them have ZERO clue just how much their daily lives are made possible by petro products.

They should have pulled her pants down on the court, held her down and spanked the crap out of her with a tennis racket until she screamed like a blubbering baby.

I reckon they could have just rolled her up in the net and put up a new one. These zoomers are losing their minds.
