This will be a heavy week. Lots of stupid going around lately.<\/p>\n
There have been\u00a0three\u00a0<\/em>instances of protesters showing up at Timberwolves games and doing stupid stuff. I guess they’re mad at one of the team’s owners (who has sold the team but still controls it for a time). They’re outraged that his farm is mass killing chickens, which I think is due to bird flu.<\/p>\n A woman had to be escorted off the floor at Target Center during the Minnesota Timberwolves\u2019 play-in game Tuesday night after apparently trying to glue herself to the baseline under a basket.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Source; Fox 10 Phoenix<\/a><\/p>\n The Timberwolves aren\u2019t done with protesters delaying their games.<\/p>\n An animal rights activist chained herself to the basket stanchion Saturday during Game 1 of the Timberolves-Grizzlies playoff series in Memphis, Tenn.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Source; NY Post<\/a><\/p>\n An animal rights activist was tackled by stadium security as she attempted to storm the court during the Timberwolves-Grizzlies game in Minnesota Saturday night.<\/p>\n Timberwolves games have been the scene of multiple animal rights protests as activists target T\u2019wolves Owner Glen Taylor due to his ownership of a chicken plant.
