Series of Dildo-Throwing Incidents at WNBA Games Reportedly Tied to Meme Coin Pump Scheme

In one of the most bizarre scandals to hit professional sports, the WNBA has been dealing with a string of disruptions where fans have been hurling dildos onto the court during games.

For weeks, there was no explanation for the strange and dangerous disruptions, but it now appears to be a promotion for a cryptocurrency meme coin.

According to a new report from The Athletic, the sex toy incidents are linked to a group of cryptocurrency investors trying to pump up a meme coin called the “Green Dildo Coin.”

The disruptions began in late July during a game between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries, where a green sex toy was thrown and caused a brief stop in play. Similar events followed, including during another Atlanta Dream game and a matchup involving the Indiana Fever and Los Angeles Sparks.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham addressed the issue in a post on X after one incident, stating, “Please stop throwing things on the court. It’s dangerous for us players.”

Cunningham was later targeted in a separate dildo incident and hit by the crass projectile.

The Athletic reports:

During Tuesday’s livestream, there was also talk of someone throwing another toy at the Seattle Storm’s Climate Pledge Arena during Tuesday’s game against the Minnesota Lynx, though no incident occurred, a Storm spokesperson confirmed to The Athletic.

The conversations appeared to connect to the community for a crypto memecoin called Green Dildo Coin. On Tuesday night’s livestream, members said they had been communicating with people throwing sex toys at WNBA arenas.

“I just got confirmation L.A. is out of the building,” one member of the stream said around seven minutes after the sex toy landed on the court at the Sparks game, indicating that the person who threw it had fled without being apprehended.

Two individuals have been arrested in connection with the incidents.

The value of the meme coin has tripled since the first dildo tossing.
