When the WNBA Got an Unwanted Guest Star: A Green Sex Toy
Just when you thought sports had exhausted its supply of bizarre moments, a bright green sex toy decided to crash the partyโnot once, but twiceโin the same week at WNBA games. If you’re raising an eyebrow, you’re in good company.
Scene-Stealer at Center Court

During Friday nightโs matchup in the WNBA between the Golden State Valkyries and the Chicago Sky, the game took an unexpected turn seven minutes into the third quarter. Thatโs when the X-rated object made its way past the baseline, forcing referees to halt play. Cue the awkward glances, a few confused whistles, and a sideline staffer tasked with the worldโs least glamorous retrieval jobโarmed only with a towel.
Call it a distraction, call it disrespectful, call it whatever you wantโbut it definitely got people talking.
Players Speak Out
Chicago Sky center Elizabeth Williams didnโt mince words, calling the incident โsuper disrespectfulโ and questioning the maturity of whoever thought this was a good idea. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham was even more direct, tweeting: โStop throwing dildos on the courtโฆ youโre going to hurt one of us.โ
Honestly, Sophie said what we were all thinking. Where was security during this? Liberty forward Isabelle Harrison also chimed in, urging arena staff to tighten up their protocols. When objects start flying mid-play, itโs no longer a quirky momentโitโs a serious safety hazard.
A Trend No One Asked For
This wasnโt an isolated incident. Just days earlier, another green sex toy made a surprise appearance during the Valkyriesโ WNBA game against the Atlanta Dream. Whether itโs a protest, a prank, or misguided fans channeling Buffalo Bills energy (yes, thatโs a thing), itโs not funny in a league striving to grow its audience and maintain a family-friendly atmosphere.
Time for Action
While social media may revel in the absurdity, the real issue is player safety and arena security. Flying objectsโespecially of the adult varietyโpose genuine risks. A high-stakes game between elite athletes shouldnโt include dodging airborne novelties. Whatโs next, nunchucks?
The WNBA, known for its strict Fan Code of Conduct, needs to act swiftly before this turns into a recurring sideshow.
For now, the green sex toy saga has earned its place in WNBA loreโfor better or worse. But if someoneโs planning a โthree-peat,โ they might want to rethink their strategy. Because letโs be honest: thatโs a halftime show absolutely no one asked for.
