Wimbledon became the latest event, on Wednesday, to be disrupted by activists, who twice ran on to Court 18 to delay play by throwing jigsaw pieces across the grass.
It followed protests at the World Snooker Championship, the rugby union Premiership final, and last week's Ashes Test at Lord's.
Vince said the group would continue its sporting protests, even if, like Wimbledon, sports groups did more to proclaim their environmental credentials.
"I don't think the premise for choosing where to protest is based on that kind of criteria," he said. "Is cricket good or bad? I don't think that's the question.
"It's about how much disruption can we cause, how many headlines can we grab. It's about high-profile stuff. So if you're a high-profile sport, I would say that probably you might be on the target list. That's my reading of it."
