If they’re not crashing out over the latest celeb they think is trans or the fact that their votes actually have consequences, MAGA is spiraling over their favorite sport being infiltrated by… wait for it…male cheerleaders. 
The Minnesota Vikings have announced that two male cheerleaders will be joining their ranks, and when videos of the cheerleaders performing hit social media, conservatives got angry.

A cryptocurrency group is taking credit for the rash of dildos being thrown at WNBA games, and their reasoning for doing so is as pathetic as you might expect.
USA Today reported that whoever created Green Dildo Coin and the small community behind it in the few weeks since its inception have taken credit for organizing the obnoxious pranks. They reviewed multiple communications between its members ahead of the first incident, which took place on July 29.

What seemingly started as a gag at a WNBA game has taken on new meaning as two men were arrested for throwing sex toys onto the court. 
A bizarre trend started on July 29 when a lime green dildo was thrown onto the court at a game between the Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream, but since then, it has happened three more times. Fans and players alike laughed the first time a sex toy landed in the middle of a game, but then players started speaking out about how “disrespectful” and “dangerous” the act is.

The WNBA has been busy making headlines for rising in popularity, having rookie players that are breaking records, and being extremely queer. 
But lately, the league has been in the news because colorful dildos have been flying onto the court during games.
