A Donald Trump protester ran on the court during the NBA Finals on Friday night.
If you were watching the end of Game 4 between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors last night you may have been wondering why there was a delay near the end of the eventual win by the Warriors.
It wasn’t shown during the broadcast on ABC, but fans in attendance got some extra entertainment in the form of a Donald Trump protester who ran onto the court with “Trump Sucks” written in black marker across his chest.

Thankfully, security was there to quickly apprehend the man who was arrested and taken into custody. How a person is able to run on the court of an NBA game, a NBA Finals game at that, in 2016, is astonishing, so thankfully no one was hurt.
After the brief interruption, the game resumed and the Warriors closed out the Cavaliers to take a 3-1 series lead after Steph Curry got back on track with 35 points after a lackluster start to the series.

I have a feeling the man with the sharpie drawn across his chest isn’t the only one opposed to the Republican nominee to run for President in attendance. But, dude, you can’t do this. There are plenty of other ways to get your message across that you don’t like Trump. And plenty of ways to get said message across that won’t get your butt tossed in jail.
