The WNBA saw some truly strange events this week. During two separate Golden State Valkyries games, fans threw unusual items onto the court. These were sex toys, causing brief stops in the action. It certainly wasn’t a normal sight for professional basketball.
The first incident happened during the final seconds of a game against the Atlanta Dream. Then, in another game, an identical object landed on the court. This second time, it was at the very end of the third period against the Chicago Sky. Both times, play had to pause, if only for a moment.
This odd trend quickly caught the attention of players. Sophie Cunningham, who plays for the Indiana Fever, spoke out on social media. She wrote clearly, “Stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us.” Her message was simple and direct, highlighting a real safety concern. Cunningham is 28 years old.
What makes these events even stranger is that both happened during Valkyries games. This repeated targeting raises a few eyebrows. People are wondering if there’s a reason behind it. So far, the team hasn’t offered any official comments about these bizarre court interruptions. The mystery remains.
