    Idk even know what to make of this, First they did pay that money for a ticket to get on the court and in doing so supported the causes they are protesting against. Second, my whole argument is why are they not supporting working people in the fight against corporate greed when the working people want to support them but don’t see the value in merely causing a disturbance.

    It’s not like others in the exact same movement haven’t figured out blocking roads and marches in the street ARE effective ways of putting the message out there - heck that’s exactly what was on the morning news in a segment about the movement prior to a separate segment about the Wimbledon ‘disturbances’…

      What does paying money for a ticket have to do with it? They aren’t protesting against Wimbledon. They’re protesting against the elites who go there.

        Sorry I think I misunderstood and took what you were saying as anyone who CAN afford to go isn’t working class.

        I’ll have to agree to disagree about whether these protests were as impactful as they could have been and let others reply.
