An unusual occurrence has become commonplace at WNBA games recently. Fans are disrupting games by throwing strange objects onto the court, objects that certainly don’t belong anywhere near a professional basketball game.
five known incidents of people throwing dildos onto WNBA courts
There are now five known incidents of people throwing dildos onto WNBA courts. The most recent incident, which occurred on Wednesday, saw a man arrested after throwing a green sex toy during the Phoenix Mecury’s game against Connecticut Sun.
During the Indiana Fever versus Los Angeles Sparks game also on Wednesday, a green dildo nearly hit Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. Notably, Cunningham had tweeted a few days earlier urging fans to stop throwing the sex toys, “you’re going to hurt one of us,” she said.
Barstool Sports shared a video of the Cunningham incident:
Now, sportsbooks are even offering odds on what color the next dildo will be. BetOnline has +200 odds for black/brown, +200 for rainbow, +250 for white, and +300 for pink. Blue is an outside shot at +1400. The sportsbook is also offering odds on how the next dildo will be handled once thrown onto the court, including kicking with the feet (-120) or lifted with the hands (-120).
Polymarket is permitting wagering on whether another dildo will be thrown in a WNBA game by Friday. In total, $166,308 has been bet on the market so far.
Many social media users are questioning how sportsbooks can offer the market when a bettor could simply attend a WNBA game and throw a specific color of dildo themselves.
