WNBA Arrests Fan for Sex Toy Throws in Atlanta, Chicago Games

The WNBA has arrested a fan who threw a green sex toy onto the court during a game between the Golden State Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream, emphasizing that anyone caught throwing objects will be ejected and face a minimum one-year ban. This incident occurred late in the fourth quarter of the Atlanta game, and a similar object was thrown again during a subsequent game between the Valkyries and Chicago Sky, though it is unknown if the second fan was arrested. The league stressed that throwing objects poses a serious safety risk for players, officials, and fans, and has reiterated strict security policies including bag searches at arenas. Players expressed mixed reactions, with some laughing at the unusual nature of the first incident but most condemning the behavior as immature and dangerous. WNBA stars like Elizabeth Williams and Isabelle Harrison called for better arena security and respect for safety. The league’s statement underlines their commitment to safety and prosecution of offenders in line with WNBA Arena Security Standards.
