Woke lunatic update: Chicken lives matter during playoffs! Deb4?

these people are crazy…I can’t imagine being associated with people who would do stuff like this…seems like they would be unbearable to be around and would bombard u nonstop with their agenda

Who is talking about Glen Taylor and his chickens after all this nonsense? Hardly anyone.

shoutout to security

people are there to watch the game…nobody there gives a damn about Glen Taylor

they think gluing themselves to their court, chaining themselves to the basket, and running on the court will get people to rise up against Glen Taylor…meanwhile, everyone in the crowd and who’s watching the game on TV is like

 

famous last words: "I paid for this seat"

 

People like that are looney, I agree. That being said, it was probably more entertaining than the game...LOL. If the Rockets aren't in the playoffs I could care less about watching the games.

 

you’re missing out on a lot then…these playoffs have been very good and entertaining thus far

with as bad as the Rockets are, it will be years before u see another playoff game

 

Oh well. It might be years indeed but I don't get excited watching other people's teams. I could care less who wins.

 

#GlenTaylor is Behind this

There have been three crazy chicken protests.. Wolves have win all three games.. YOU DO THE MATH!

 

This is one of those things where in like 100 years the chicken protestors are going to be seen as the only sane ones.

 

Glue girl makes it into the Washington Post

and @Deckard thinks tinman threads are pointless

How did ‘Glue Girl’ bring her protest onto an NBA court? Privilege.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/04/29/animal-rights-protesters-glen-taylor-nba-playoffs/

excerpt:

Privilege looks nonthreatening and unassuming. It blends in long enough to be out of mind before it reveals its true audacity. It looks a lot like the animal rights advocates who have taken Minnesota Timberwolves games hostage, using the canvas of the court for their performative displays of protest.

There are three women at the center of the recent protests that have gone from zero to 1,000 during games played in Minneapolis and Memphis. The women have reached the playing court or the basketball stanchion, drawing attention to themselves for their cause: Timberwolves co-owner Glen Taylor and the mass killing of 5.3 million chickens to combat an avian flu outbreak at his factory egg farm.

The women have the financial wherewithal and backing of their group, Direct Action Everywhere, to fly into these cities, get into the arenas and pay for pretty decent seats. But the women also possess the White-passing skin tones — a far greater currency in America — that provide courtside access, no questions asked.

They have the privilege to protest.

Theirs is a freedom to casually walk down about 18 rows as Alicia Santurio did April 12 during the Timberwolves’ play-in game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Her last name comes from her Uruguayan father, and her mother is Italian. However most people in society would see her fair skin and, in their eyes, register her as an average White woman — only average in the sense that, of course, she must be harmless and law-abiding.

“I just walked on down and was just able to just walk by everyone,” Santurio told me this week, breaking down how she got onto the court once ushers, servers and even security had turned their attention to the action. “No one stopped. Just walked right on by.”

Understand that an NBA game is a controlled environment. There are ushers standing at the top of the lower-level sections, making sure everyone who’s about to walk down has a ticket for those seats. There are arena security staffers dotting the sideline, baseline and courtside seats — a few of them even have their backs to the action, casting their full attention to what’s happening in the stands. And in the closest vicinity to the players’ seats, there is a cache of team or private security guards and city police officers.

The court is precious real estate. Early in this season, NBA teams treated credentialed media members as if they were carriers of a yet-undetected strain of the virus and limited their access to beyond the first row of seats, not on the court. And this restriction was in place before tip-off. So imagine how challenging it would be to get all the way to the court during the game.

Unless, of course, you possess the features that automatically eliminate you, in the biased mind, as suspect.

There was a time not too long ago when a Black man couldn’t get onto an NBA court even after the team he constructed won a championship.

In June 2019, the Toronto Raptors defeated the host Golden State Warriors, an improbable win with a first-year head coach and a mercenary star. And Masai Ujiri, the president of the Raptors, was the mastermind who had transformed the franchise from a forgotten outpost up north to the champions. When it was time to celebrate, hedidn’t rush the court. He calmly maneuvered around the crowded baseline seats.

Ujiri was wearing a suit. He tried to show his credential. He identified himself as “president of the Raptors.” He still was cursed out and shoved twice by a police officer who acted as if excessive force was necessary to combat some raging trespasser.

During that Timberwolves play-in game, however, Santurio was wearing a black T-shirt that branded Glen Taylor as a chicken killer. She had no credential, just super glue. She made it all the way to the playing court and affixed herself to the surface before anyone noticed.
