This week, an animal rights group carried out a dangerous stunt during an NBA playoff game in Minneapolis. A supporter of the group Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) leapt over courtside seats behind where team Minnesota Timberwolves' majority owner Glen Taylor was seated and was tackled to the court almost immediately by a security guard, who was joined by other security in removing her from the court.
This was the third such stunt to take place on the Timberwolves' court during games this month. The others involved a woman putting glue on her hand and pretending to be stuck to the court and another chaining herself to one of the basket stanchions and tossing flyers onto the court.
