BBC Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker has defended Just Stop Oil after Wimbledon became the latest major sporting event targeted by the organisation.
They disrupted play twice, with protesters running onto the court and throwing jigsaw puzzles and confetti in first-round matches between Grigor Dimitrov and Sho Shimabukuro and Katie Boulter and Daria Saville. Just Stop Oil have also staged disruptive protests during the second Ashes Test at Lord's, the Premiership rugby final at Twickenham and the World Snooker Championship.
The environmental activist group want to "ensure the government commits to halting new fossil fuel licensing and production". And Lineker believes their cause is "more important... than slight disruption of sporting events".
