Play Has Been Suspended At The US Open Semifinals Due To Climate Change Protesters Who Keep Yelling "End Fossil Fuels"

Just an absolutely electric semifinal match being ruined by some climate change protesters tonight. It's nothing new to tennis, which is unfortunate because it absolutely puts a damper onto the match when the players have to return to the locker room for thirty plus minutes for safety reasons or whatever. I could put a bunch of examples here of this happening at Wimbledon, Roland Garros, and virtually every important tournament but that's giving these losers even more shine. You could argue it also is going to fuck over Coco a bit by giving Muchova a break to regroup when she's getting crushed. Bananas.

I don't know nothing about nothing as Dave would say, but whichever fossil fuels need to be ended may need to be used more after they ruined this match. Them's the rules. Some people might say that's successful protesting since it's pissing everyone off, but I'm around 5 more minutes of a delay from trying to find out how to put more of those damn fuels into the air. 

Apparently security is having a hard removing the final protester, which I think should be a relatively easy task, but it seems not. Pure shame they could only afford tickets in the upper deck though and were't really seen by anyone. Horrible planning. Oh and we have another match after this that of course gets delayed too. Hopefully Coco can get the job done when play returns.

EDIT: This may take a while.
