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 party—not once, but twice—in the same week at WNBA games. If you’re raising an eyebrow, you’re in good company.
Scene-Stealer at Center Court
During Friday night’s 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. That’s 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 world’s least glamorous retrieval job—armed only with a towel.
Call it a distraction, call it disrespectful, call it whatever you want—but it definitely got people talking.
Players Speak Out
Chicago Sky center Elizabeth Williams didn’t mince words, calling the incident “super disrespectful” and questioning the maturity of whoever thought this was a good idea. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham was even more direct, tweeting: “Stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us.”
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, it’s no longer a quirky moment—it’s a serious safety hazard.
A Trend No One Asked For
This wasn’t an isolated incident. Just days earlier, another green sex toy made a surprise appearance during the Valkyries’ WNBA game against the Atlanta Dream. Whether it’s a protest, a prank, or misguided fans channeling Buffalo Bills energy (yes, that’s a thing), it’s 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 objects—especially of the adult variety—pose genuine risks. A high-stakes game between elite athletes shouldn’t include dodging airborne novelties. What’s 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 lore—for better or worse. But if someone’s planning a “three-peat,” they might want to rethink their strategy. Because let’s be honest: that’s a halftime show absolutely no one asked for.
