A “Just Stop Oil” protester leaped onto the famous green baize and turned it orange after dumping an orange powder on it during the world snooker championship in Sheffield, England on Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Crucible Theatre was packed for the snooker championship yet play had to be suspended after the two protesters bombarded the famous arena after the tournament began.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Robert Milkins and Joe Perry were playing their match when a male protester, 30, jumped into the scene and leapt on the table, moving all the snooker balls as he poured an orange powder on it. Half of the baize was covered in orange, while the other half remained green.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The crowd began jeering at the man whose bold actions led to security whisking him away, but not before causing damage to the table and the match.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A woman protester, 52, tried to disrupt the match between Mark Allen and Fan Zhengyi, but she was stopped by referee Olivier Marteel before getting onto the table to do the same thing the male protester did.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Vacumm cleaners were brought into the arena to clean up the orange dye on the Milkins-Perry table, but former snooker world champion, Stephen Hendry, who was broadcasting the match on the BBC, said the “scary” incident could leave the table irrecoverable.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“For me, straight away as a snooker player I am thinking, \u2018Is the table recoverable?\u2019 We don\u2019t know what that is on the table,” he said, via The Associated Press.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Though the protesters were wearing “Just Stop Oil” t-shirts, the group owned up to the incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“They are demanding that the government immediately stop all new UK fossil fuel projects and are calling on UK sporting institutions to step into civil resistance against the government\u2019s genocidal policies,” the group said.<\/p>\n

Play later resumed in the Allen-Zhengyi match 45 minutes after things settled down, but the Milkins-Perry match saw the table covered as it needed to be re-clothed overnight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Snooker is a cue sport that is played on a billiards table, called a baize, where 22 balls \u2014 the white cue ball, 15 red and six others that are yellow, green, brown, blue, pink and black \u2014 each account for points.\u00a0<\/p>\n
