Flying sex toys keep interrupting WNBA games and players are calling foul

On Saturday, August 2, the WNBA said the individual who threw it had been arrested, and warned that anyone else who threw objects onto the court would be rejected from the arena and face a minimum one-year ban.

This, according to The New York Times, is in line with the WNBA policy. A spokesperson for the WNBA said, “The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league. Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans. In line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution.”

The statement came the day after a second incident happened during the game between the Valkyries and the Chicago Sky on Friday, August 1. It was also green.

Naturally, the women of the WNBA have some thoughts about their safety, as well.

Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham tweeted, “Stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us,” while Sky center Elizabeth Williams told ESPN that it was “super disrespectful,” that she didn’t “get the point of it,” and that “whoever is doing it needs to grow up.”

Isabelle Harrison from the New York Liberty team also called out for arena security, saying, “Hello??! Please do better. It’s not funny. Never was funny. Throwing ANYTHING on the court is so dangerous.”

As of now, no other reports of a second arrest have been made.
