‘It’s Super Disrespectful’: WNBA Players Exasperated After Sex Toy Thrown Onto Court for Second Time in a Week

UNITED STATES, AUG 8 – Three incidents involving green sex toys thrown onto WNBA courts caused game delays and led to arrests, raising urgent concerns over player safety and arena security enforcement.

  • A sex toy thrown from the stands landed on the court during the third quarter of Golden State Valkyries’ 73-66 victory over the Chicago Sky on Friday, briefly halting play.
  • Since July 29, fans have thrown sex toys onto courts during live games, marking the third incident in just over a week, starting at an Atlanta Dream game.
  • Following the Atlanta Dream incident, the WNBA said any fan who throws objects onto the court will be ejected and face a minimum one-year ban.
  • Sophie Cunningham urged fans to halt the dangerous trend after a sex toy nearly hit her, emphasizing player safety over disruptions, while Lynne Roberts called the throw 'ridiculous, it’s dumb, it’s stupid' and stressed safety.
  • The WNBA is expected to tighten security measures at all games, Reuters reports, after a series of sex toy throws raised safety concerns and prompted calls for stricter arena policies.
