Who Is Tossing Perfectly Good Dildos at WNBA Players? And Why?

LOL! I work at a basketball arena, and at our pregame meeting last night, they told us that it was inevitable a dildo would go flying onto the court, and that our mission was to contain the aftermath and minimize attention to it.

"If you see it, grab it, remove it, and turn it over to security."

^ so, you don't even get to keep it....

Obviously the solution is to have Dildo Night with a nicely presented dildo at every seat. That, or repurpose the T-shirt cannon for flying dildos.

Do like Ozzy and bite off the head.

What size dildos?

R5 Large. And green.

I would make people buy them at the ticket desk. And they’d have the game date imprinted on the bottom so they’d be worth more for resale.

A secondary market would pop up in the trading of dildos. Futures trades would gamble on the market.

Vaginas would appear for a season, but too many suffered illness after eating silicone

“Another night of sweeping victory for the Detroit Dildos!” 🏀

I’m sorry, fans are throwing dildoes at players during the game? Why aren’t they arrested and thrown in jail?

R9 The people who do it escape before they can be caught. But I think they caught one guy last week who did it at a game in Georgia.

R10 They aren't fans who are doing it.

It's small groups of people who buy tickets to a game, then at a certain point in the game, they throw the dildos, then quickly leave.

It's a new pop culture fad, like streaking in the 1970s.

Maybe I am hopelessly out of touch, but I don’t think I have ever felt this alienated from the rest of society. No, not merely from people throwing dildoes. Just the whole lot of insanity and ignorance, willful ignorance, and violence, violence which not only goes unpunished but is often laughed about or glorified.

It's nasty and rapey

It’s probably a marketing ploy.

Rapey how? Do you know how a dildo works, dear?

As human beings, what is the most important thing? Obviously, the phallus. The ancient civilizations understood that. It’s unfortunate we’ve gotten away from that. The forced inclusion of the phallus into a non-phallic space in modern times is a way to remind us of this important symbol.

It's misogyny.

It’s a fake penis. Hopefully, anyone outraged at a fake penis being shown at a WNBA game is also outraged at a real penis being visibly displayed in a women’s locker room.

R1 & R9 The cynic in me thinks it's an inside job to get attention for the WNBA, which has always struggled to attract fans since it debuted in 1996.

I'm thinking of the movie A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN when they did gimmicks like "Catch A Foul, Get A Kiss" to draw male crowds to the games when the league was faltering.

It’s misogyny and nothing else.

That's the WNBA of yore, r20. It has become quite the thing and outperforms some men's professional sports on TV at the same time. It's become a popular ticket. Long thread from last year linked.

[QUOTE]It's small groups of people who buy tickets to a game, then at a certain point in the game, they throw the dildos, then quickly leave.

This is the most abjectly stupid thing I've read since, well, Trump said he brought down drug prices 1500% last week.

It's because they're lesbians

Catch the guys doing this and shove the dildos up their asses in front of everyone.

R16 it's a rape threat

R17 The phallus is nothing without the vaginus. Both must unite to produce a humanus.

This is a protest against penised-people being banned from women's teams.

R25 You shouldn't get yourself worked up like this.

Nan Michiganwoman!

The owner of the WNBA must now have 10,000 boxes filled with dildos. He could start an Ebay or Amazon FBA business.

It's part misogyny - part young guys for lols and views.

How do dildoes get past security check? Don't they pat these kids down?

Seriously - every ball game - football, baseball, hockey - I've had a pat down at security check.

Weren't they throwing octopuses on the ice at hockey games one time?

[quote] How do dildoes get past security check? Don't they pat these kids down?

You really don’t know how to get a dildo past security?

That's a Detroit Red Wings thing, r32. I don't know if they still do it.

Why aren't they throwing them out at the men's games? It is an anti women thing.

R31 Do you have to pay extra for this?

It's literal violence!

R31 Most sports arenas don't do pat downs. You go through MAG devices as part of security screening, but those devices won't pick up a synthetic sex toy when you walk through them.

They want to hit a female player with the dildo. It’s all about humiliation. Curious that there are no witnesses in the stands that see the toss.

R39 Most of the dildos have been thrown during timeouts when the players aren't on the court.

And there have been plenty of witnesses. The problems is that the perpetrators escape quickly (except for the guy they caught last week).

Cryptocurrency meme coin creators say they are responsible for the sex toys being thrown at multiple WNBA games, and they are planning more "pranks."

The spokesman for the crypto group told USA TODAY Sports that a group of crypto enthusiasts and traders launched Green Dildo Coin (DILDO), a meme coin intended to be lighthearted and perceived as a joke, in late July to protest what they describe as a "toxic" environment in the crypto world.

As a form of protest, the meme coin was created, and the faction began infiltrating WNBA arenas with color-coordinated sex toys to coincide with the launch. USA TODAY Sports obtained text messages showing the group's coordination and planning before the coin's launch July 28 and the first sex toy being thrown at a WNBA game July 29.

Violence!

I think it’s hilarious.

It’s a shenis, a lady penis.

The need to create the WNBA version of a ball boy to run out and collect these each time one has got loose on court.

I am with you R13. Look at the man elected President.- a racist, willfully ignorant and immensely cruel idiot who is revered by much of the country. Look at the general crassness of society. There is a delight is uploading videos of people in the worst state possible. Not to mention the rampant narcissism and ignorance on social media. Empathy for our fellow humans is treated with scorn and suspicion. Technocrats are openly embracing fascism and there is little to no solidarity out there. It is especially awful when you look at the political views of young men.

Trump's disgusting son shared a meme of his father THE PRESIDENT throwing a dildo on the court from the roof of the WH. This is where we are. Fucking depressing.

But was it a dildo dildo?

i think it's really rude and demeaning. they're already a laughing stock. the wnba gets shit on relentlessly by male sports fans and now that it's actually popular thanks to caitlin clark, they're becoming 'fans' but they're treating the whole league like a goon bank. it was kind of funny the first time, now it's just disgusting honestly.

Who would goon to those Amazons?

The President's son exhibited his usual intelligence and awareness....

I wish someone would throw a dildo at Aaron Rodgers instead

Monday is free t-shirt night. Tuesday, get a free bobble head doll with your ticket purchase. And Wednesday, leave the kids at home for adult night! Free dildo!

Hear! Hear! r46

R51 I'll catch it! In my ass.

We need Jessica Fletcher to solve this mystery

This seems more up Cagney and Lacey's alley, r55.

Hercule Poirot and the Mystery of the WNBA Dildo

Yeah, see, going overboard and calling it a rape threat is where you lose people. Demeaning, rude, etc? Yes. It's a mean prank, but it's also nothing more than a prank. Kick the offenders out and ban them from the games. sure. If it hits someone, OK, maybe consider a minor charge there. But don't blow it up bigger than it is.

R13, people have always been shitty, moronic and cruel — often to the point of murderous sadism.

But people have also always been selfless, intelligent and kind.

There are periods when witless savagery take to the fore. It only happens when no one pushes back. So push back.

Charlie needs to send his Angels to investigate.

Touchdown!

R58 How dare you? Your comment is literal violence. I've been violated again!

R59 "murderous sadism" It's just a dildo, hon. Take a breath.

R9 Wow, you really hate dildos.
