Hey guys, what's the best place to stage a climate change protest? Sure, right in the middle of a football field in the midst of one of the most historic and heralded rivalry games in all of college football.
Not.

We know what a lot of people are thinking. There's a time and place for everything, and while sports are often utilized as a platform for social justice and other issues, this is the supposed "line" people will draw. There's unfurling a banner in the crowd, and then there's preventing a sporting event from occurring.
Let's be real. The same people upset with the banners in the crowd are probably just as upset with this.

Nonetheless, the message will be heard. This news is now viral and more attention will be brought to the subject of climate change, whether positive or negative. Even bad press is good press, right?
