The chaotic moment captured at a WNBA game disrupted by distractions from the crowd.
A cryptocurrency group named Green Dildo Coin is alleged to be behind a series of incidents involving sex toys being thrown onto WNBA courts during games. The series of disruptive acts began with an incident at a game in Georgia and has since spread to various cities. The WNBA has implemented stricter security measures in response and is conducting investigations. Players and advocates have expressed concerns regarding safety and the implications of misogyny in sports culture.
Multiple incidents involving sex toys being thrown onto basketball courts at WNBA games have taken place over the past month, culminating in allegations that a cryptocurrency-focused group is responsible. The events, which have garnered widespread attention, have prompted safety measures from league officials and sparked ongoing investigations.
The first known occurrence occurred on July 29 during a game between the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries. The incident took place in College Park, Georgia, when a lime green sex toy was thrown onto the court with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter. The event was captured during the live broadcast of the game, leading to immediate stoppage of play. Subsequently, law enforcement identified and arrested a man associated with the event, Delbert Carver, on charges including disorderly conduct, public indecency, and criminal trespass.
Following the initial event, similar incidents resurfaced at various games nationwide, including in Chicago, Phoenix, and Brooklyn. At each location, spectators or individuals involved in the disruptions threw sex toys onto the playing surfaces, creating safety concerns and distracting players from the game. Notably, in Chicago, an official actively kicked a second sex toy away from the court to prevent further disturbance, prompting criticism from players regarding the disrespectfulness and safety risks associated with such acts.
In a separate incident, a spectator named Kaden Lopez was detained after allegedly throwing a sex toy that struck both a fellow spectator and a minor related to them. Law enforcement agencies have indicated ongoing efforts to identify and apprehend additional perpetrators involved in these acts.
It has been revealed that the series of disruptive acts was orchestrated by a cryptocurrency group known as Green Dildo Coin. The group launched a meme coin on July 28, the day before the initial event, aiming to use the incidents as a promotional stunt to garner attention for their digital currency. A member of the group described their actions as “opportunistic” and a deliberate attempt to capitalize on the controversy surrounding the WNBA. There are indications that the group may extend their activities to other sporting events, including Major League Baseball games, to further promote their meme coin.
In response to these incidents, WNBA officials announced that any fans who intentionally throw objects onto the court will face immediate ejection, a minimum one-year ban, and may be subject to arrest and criminal charges. The league has emphasized its commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for players and spectators. Additionally, security protocols are being reviewed and strengthened at all venues to prevent similar disruptions in the future.
Players and coaching staff have expressed serious concerns about the safety implications of these incidents. Many have criticized the acts as disruptive and disrespectful, calling for increased security presence at games. The incidents have also spurred discussions about the broader issues of misogyny and the objectification of women in sports culture, with advocates emphasizing the importance of fostering respectful environments.
The incidents have been widely discussed across social media platforms, where fans and group members actively shared commentary and images related to the events. The proliferation of real-time updates on platforms previously used for promotional activities has further amplified the controversy, drawing attention to the need for cultural change within sports venues.
The WNBA, together with the players’ union and local authorities, is conducting investigations into the incidents to identify those responsible. Experts and commentators have publicly denounced the actions as misogynistic and harmful, highlighting concerns about their impact on gender equality and safety in sports arenas. The league continues to evaluate security protocols and engage with law enforcement to address these issues effectively.
The series of events serve as a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges in ensuring a safe, inclusive environment in professional sports, emphasizing the need for continued efforts to combat disrespectful behaviors and promote respect for athletes and fans alike.
