1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.440
- I'm not in a good mood.

2
00:00:01.440 --> 00:00:02.460
I'm sad today,

3
00:00:02.460 --> 00:00:04.110
and there's not a lot going on in sports.

4
00:00:04.110 --> 00:00:07.230
Greta Thunberg got carried by police.

5
00:00:07.230 --> 00:00:10.650
Could being carried by police be a sport?

6
00:00:10.650 --> 00:00:14.460
I'm gonna watch her get carried
by police and react to it.

7
00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:15.750
There she goes.

8
00:00:15.750 --> 00:00:20.670
Greta Thunberg was carried
away by police at a protest.

9
00:00:20.670 --> 00:00:22.920
This is the second time in about a month

10
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.140
that she's been carried by police.

11
00:00:25.140 --> 00:00:27.240
I think she's making a sport out of it.

12
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:30.780
Oh, yeah, she just goes straight
up, just takes two people.

13
00:00:30.780 --> 00:00:31.770
It's very easy.

14
00:00:31.770 --> 00:00:33.810
She seems happy, too.

15
00:00:33.810 --> 00:00:38.125
How fucked are we that I'm
taking something as serious

16
00:00:38.125 --> 00:00:40.800
as her environmental protests

17
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:43.050
and asking if it's a sport?

18
00:00:43.050 --> 00:00:44.040
Oh, my God.

19
00:00:44.040 --> 00:00:47.099
To be honest, I don't give a
shit about this young lady.

20
00:00:47.099 --> 00:00:48.630
(Andy sighs)

21
00:00:48.630 --> 00:00:49.463
I'm grumpy.

22
00:00:49.463 --> 00:00:52.339
I mean, I really hope
she saves the planet.

23
00:00:52.339 --> 00:00:53.910
(Andy snorts)

24
00:00:53.910 --> 00:00:57.810
I really hope Greta
Thunberg saves the planet.

25
00:00:57.810 --> 00:00:59.553
Thunberg says she's gonna
continue to protest,

26
00:00:59.553 --> 00:01:02.880
so that just means that
there's gonna be more police

27
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:06.450
carrying her away from
more places in the future.

28
00:01:06.450 --> 00:01:08.049
This is gonna set world records

29
00:01:08.049 --> 00:01:11.970
that we never even knew existed.

30
00:01:11.970 --> 00:01:14.700
She was carried last
month at a German protest.

31
00:01:14.700 --> 00:01:17.280
At the German one, they used
three police to carry her.

32
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:18.360
The police are getting better

33
00:01:18.360 --> 00:01:21.060
and more efficient at carrying Greta.

34
00:01:21.060 --> 00:01:22.200
So that's good.

35
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.981
It let's put the police
in such a strange position

36
00:01:24.981 --> 00:01:28.860
'cause, it's like, it's a
child, a celebrity child.

37
00:01:28.860 --> 00:01:33.860
Oh, Greta's wearing a Nike
satchel in her German protest.

38
00:01:35.190 --> 00:01:37.710
Maybe Greta's trying to
pick up a Nike sponsorship.

39
00:01:37.710 --> 00:01:41.160
But if I were Nike, I would
capitalize on this right now.

40
00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:44.280
Nike, you are looking
at the Michael Jordan

41
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:46.320
of getting carried by police.

42
00:01:46.320 --> 00:01:49.941
Michael Jordan, LeBron
James, Greta Thunberg.

43
00:01:49.941 --> 00:01:50.774
Thunberg?

44
00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:53.433
This could be great for Nike.

45
00:01:54.510 --> 00:01:57.990
It's maybe what she was
put on this planet to do.

46
00:01:57.990 --> 00:02:00.180
Michael Jordan was put here to dunk

47
00:02:00.180 --> 00:02:02.400
from the free throw line and sell shoes,

48
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.040
she was put here to get carried by police.

49
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:06.840
What the fuck am I even saying?

50
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:11.220
So is getting carried by
police the next big sport?

51
00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:12.570
No, I don't think so.

52
00:02:12.570 --> 00:02:14.770
Thanks for watching and
stick with Deadspin.
