The WNBA’s rise in popularity is not without problems, as a second game is paused over a sex toy on the court.
A Wednesday game in Atlanta was paused after a bright green dildo was tossed onto the court. It was such a shocking moment that it sparked some laughter online, and apparently a copycat.
On Friday, yet another neon sex toy was chucked onto the court in Chicago, temporarily pausing the game. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham doesn’t think it’s a very funny joke, warning that someone may get “hurt” if this trend continues.
stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us.

Video of the moment the referees stopped the game to clean up the NSFW item quickly went viral on X:

X users weighed in on the apparent trend:
I’m sure the comments are already out of control, but this is the dildo equivalent of the two planes hitting the World Trade Centers. One could be an accident. Two? No longer an accident. Do your best, commenters.

2 dildos isn’t a lot of dildos, but it is weird that they’ve been in the same week and with the same team.

WNBA had a chance to legitimize their existence. Instead, they let Clark get pummeled. Highlighted Reese not making layups. Demanded more money. Now, it will be remembered for errant sex toys thrown in the court. Great job everyone.

“Mam, we have tracked the purchases of green dildos. And it’s coming from inside the locker room!!!!”

When that is the most interesting that ever happens in the WNBA, perhaps they should just stop. It’s unwatchable.

The obvious highlight of any game in the WMBA. Green dildos may actually make the league profitable to the point the players won’t be paid in charitable contributions by the owners as is the case now.

Green Dildos in Atlanta and Chicago. Seems like Fever fans aren’t the issue but we already knew that.

I’m still surprised they don’t pounce on it like overzealous bridesmaids on a bouquet.
I can imagine the security protocol being planned for future games…
