Some sports have lucky socks. Others have rally caps. And now, apparently, the WNBA has… green dildos?
This is real life in 2025, folks.
It all started on July 29, when the Golden State Valkyries were battling the Atlanta Dream in a tight fourth quarter showdown. With the score tied at 75, someone in the crowd decided the moment called for something special.
Out of nowhere, a bright green plastic penis flew through the air and landed on the court.
Play stopped. A referee bravely retrieved the object and order was restored. The Valkyries went on to win 77–75, and internet legend was born. Some fans even called the airborne adult toy a “lucky charm.”
Dildos: The New Mascot?
Just when you thought it couldn’t get weirder, it did. Just three days later, on August 1, it happened again. Same team. Same color. Same shape. Different city – this time in Chicago.
At this point, even the players had to admit things were getting out of hand. Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham took to X with a warning: “stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us.”
She’s not wrong. These things are slippery.
Still, while some players called it “immature” and “dangerous,” others (and plenty of fans) couldn’t help but chuckle. Let’s be honest: if you were at a game and saw a neon green dong bounce across the hardwood, you’d laugh too.
Harmless Fun or Something More?
Some folks online think this is just a silly prank that caught fire, like streakers at soccer games or beer snakes in baseball bleachers.
Others argue it’s not so innocent – at this rate, the league might need to add “flying sex toys” to the official list of player hazards after sprained ankles and rogue elbows.
But there’s no manifesto or claim of dildo-based protest. Just a couple of mystery tossers with questionable aim.
The League Responds… Kind Of
So far, the WNBA hasn’t overreacted. No mass security overhaul. No ban on objects over six inches (thankfully). After the first incident, they gave fans a quick reminder not to throw stuff on the court. That was about it.
Whether this continues or dies out remains to be seen. Some fans are rooting for a “three-peat.” Others say it needs to stop before someone gets hurt.
Just When You Thought You’d Seen It All
As far as public disruptions go, this is probably the most… colorful one in recent memory.
Whether you see it as a harmless joke, a bizarre new fan ritual, or something that’s maybe a little inappropriate for family-friendly television, one thing’s clear: the WNBA is finally getting some more attention – something they’ve wanted for years.
