THE two worlds of football saw protests against racism, climate change and domestic violence over the weekend, each in their own unique way.

College football fans in the United States staged a sit-in during half-time on Saturday night as Harvard took on Yale.

In the game dubbed the Yale Bowl, protesters took to the field with banners that read: “Nobody wins. Yale & Harvard are complicit in climate injustice,” and “Yale and Harvard Students United for Climate Justice.”
