Who keeps throwing sex toys at WNBA games?
According to USA Today, a pair of reports linked the trend to a cryptocurrency group called Green Dildo Coin. In an interview, their spokesperson said that the group doesn’t hate women’s sports, it just wants to highlight a memecoin that fights the "toxic" environment in the cryptocurrency world.
"We didn't do this because like we dislike women's sports or, like, some of the narratives that are trending right now are ridiculous," the group’s spokesperson said.
"Creating disruption at games is like, it happens in every single sport, right? We've seen it in the NFL, we've seen it in hockey, you know… fans doing random things to more or less create attention,” he added. However, it is unclear why the group is fixated on WNBA games.
Multiple pro-women's basketball games have been interrupted in the past few days, and two people have been arrested. This trend has frustrated players, coaches, and fans.
