Halftime protest holding up second half of Yale-Penn

[bulldog10jw]

Not sure what the protest is about, but the second half was supposed to start 40 minutes ago.

A similar protest almost cost Yale a share of the IVY title in 2019. The 2nd OT against Harvard was played after sunset since the Bowl doesn't have lights. Luckily, it didn't go to a 3rd OT or be declared a tie.

A few days ago there was a chance I'd attend this game as the opener of a day-night doubleheader with Padres/Phillies NLCS Game 4 as the nightcap, until I found out my girlfriend's plans this weekend. Thank goodness I wasn't able to go (also attending Padres/Phillies NLCS Game 5 tomorrow instead).

Zero respect for the athletes and the people that came to watch the game. These things need to be met with violence. They can protest outside of the stadium, a protest during the game should be seen as an aggressive action and should be met with exponential aggression.

They have zero rights to protest on the field at this game, what they did was a criminal trespass at a minimum and maybe a terrorist action. They should all be charged with felonies, get some jail time and an fines and certainly expulsion from the college if they are a student.

[CockyGeek]

They let the protest go on for an hour under their "freedom of open expression" rules then arrested everyone that remained. No violence needed.

Well, in looking at the first post you were basically just telling people the games was delayed, and FCS game so on 2nd look it probably just should have been up to the others to move over for their own sake of keeping the FCS board as a part of their AGS experience.

[dgtw]

Protests that disrupt a football game do not help their cause. It makes supporters of that cause look like idiots. Protest all you want outside the stadium or hold up a sign in the stands.

I liked what the NFL player did a couple weeks ago when the guy with the pink smoke ran onto the field.

If my above comment violates AGS policy, I apologize but I think I kept it non-political and only discussed being on the field.

[NDB]

This about football, because this morons made it about football and the administration refused to actively manage a protest during a scheduled football game.

We're not the people who brought politics into this sphere. Many of us enjoy football because it is a temporary respite from issues like this. It doesn't mean we don't care, it means there's a time and a place.

The Yale fan that started this thread reported what was happening without flying off the handle.

It is indeed, but totally irrelevant. The bottom line is this is a foul. If it isn't, then protests for ANY reason (correct or incorrect in its truth), in ANY venue, or any location (ahem), then become legit and all need to be weighed equally. Anyone want that? If you think this was ok, then you must. Anyone who feels that their cause trumps the chosen activity of others needs to also accept any protest, for any reason, that impacts any of their activities or locations. I'm sure nobody at this game cared one bit except their activity was disrupted unnecessarily. I'm just curious and concerned that it impacted the outcome in some way. Didn't watch this game but I'd be pissed if it did have an impact, especially if I was Yale.

[bulldog10jw]

The only thing that impacted the game was Yale's inability to come up with a big play when needed on both offense and defense. Penn scored two touchdowns in the game. One with 14 seconds left in the first half and the other with 20 seconds left in the game. Both could have been prevented if Yale hadn't given the ball back to Penn in great field position. Once with a tipped ball INT and the other when they couldn't convert a 2nd and 2 near mid field. No protester caused that.

those guys meant no harm but I’m not sure Aaron thought they were so cool, But I love the way Hank, the all time HR leader, ran the bases after he broke the record.

I remember watching that as they broke in to regular programming to show it. I met Hank Aaron at the opening day of his Hank Aaron Toyota in McDonough GA by chance as I was in the area on business fro Maaco in 2004 and decided to look at offerings that I could get in NJ. Great guy. I didnt want to bother him for an autograph. BTW I think Atlanta media tried to find the two dudes (way before social media and apps) and werent successful?

Libtards. And it's unfortunate that our intelligence agencies recruit from the ivy league schools almost exclusively.

Meanwhile there are much better less woke schools that are actually as cutting edge as it gets. For example, look at Liberty University's business school. It kicks the pants off of Harvard's business school. Liberty isn't teaching modern monetary theory,. which is bankrupting our country and destroying our middle class.

I am so sick of these ****ing morons that have been brainwashed to become activists vs educated.

Go protest somewhere else so as not to disrespect the athletes that have sacrificed so much of their lives to put in a performance. Stop disrespecting me the fans as well. Go protest in front of the university president's house or a political office if you don't like something... brainwashed retards.

I wasn't a baseball fan at the time so I didn't care. When I became a fan I remember other events like the earthquake game in 1989.

These brainwashed idiots would rather protest at a football game and destroy our economy vs doing something useful. Meanwhile, the WEF and the IMF (Klaus Schawb and his buddies) use climate change as the excuse to control energy and ultimately fleece wealth from Americans and Europeans. Meanwhile they allow China India, and Saudi Arabia to do whatever they want. They've been saying we have 12 years left since the 1930's. Meanwhile they haven't noticed this very important paper from 1976 that basically proves orbital variation is the cause of global climate change and they have the evidence to support this theory uile the man made climate change ambiguity.

Damn Eagles almost upset Bills on Oct 7, 1973 (I remember watching that game on TV and being despondent as an 11 year old - we had it won lol - I looked up the date but I recall the year). They lost on a late BUF FG to win 27-26 after Eagles came back from 11 down I read now. Tom Dempsey (RIP from Covid) kicked four FGs in that game. Roman Gabriel was Birds QB and Joe Ferguson Bills.
