Truth Behind Sex Toys Thrown on the Court at WNBA Games

The WNBA has recently been plagued by a series of bizarre incidents, leading to the interruption of multiple games after spectators threw green vibrators onto the court.

Reports indicate these incidents were orchestrated by a group promoting a cryptocurrency. One of the strangest current stories in the sports world involves sex toys being thrown onto the court during several WNBA games.

The first incident occurred on Tuesday, July 29, during the game between the Atlanta Dream and the Las Vegas Aces (formerly Golden State Valkyries until their relocation prior to the 2018 WNBA season).

Then, on Friday, August 1, the situation repeated itself, prompting the WNBA to take action, with one fan who threw a green vibrator being arrested.

Despite the legal consequences, the incidents continued, and more games were disrupted. Players and coaches alike have expressed their outrage.

"This has been happening for centuries, the sexualization of women. This is the latest version of it. And it's not funny. The people who do this should be held accountable. They are the problem, and we need to take action," said Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve, according to ESPN.

The American publication learned that these actions were planned by a group aiming to promote a cryptocurrency. ESPN contacted a member of the group, granted anonymity, who provided further details.

"It was more or less an opportunistic approach towards something already trending. We asked ourselves, where is there already controversy, and how can we draw attention?" the man explained, adding that the community's discussions take place on Telegram.

The cryptocurrency launched on July 28, the day before the first sex toy was thrown, and members of the group watched the Dream-Aces game live, posting numerous derogatory comments about the WNBA.

The community representative revealed that similar incidents were planned in four different arenas and that they would shift their focus from the WNBA to MLB.

"We have a lot of fun stuff planned. Less disruptive, but we want people to keep looking out for us," said the user known as Lt. Daldo Raine.

Two men were arrested for throwing vibrators onto the court. One of them, an 18-year-old, was deemed a "hero" and a "legend" on the Telegram group. The cryptocurrency's price has surged 300% in the past week.

"It represents a brave movement in internet culture — it gives holders a voice in a fun, fearless, and fast-growing community," said a cryptocurrency evaluator, according to ESPN.

The WNBA added that, in line with its arena security regulations, any fan who deliberately throws an object onto the court would be immediately ejected and face at least a one-year ban, along with the possibility of arrest and investigation by local authorities.
