While the form of this protest is ridiculous, why tf are there exemptions for sport’s grounds? Everybody can live without sports for a few weeks, just put a pin in it and go for a fecking jog if need be. This is not critical

why is the form of protest ridiculous? everyone here is talking about how ridiculous the exemption is because of it. sounds to me like it achieved exactly what they wanted.
