Fan Incidents Disrupt Two Recent WNBA Games

Two WNBA games were disrupted by unusual incidents involving fan behavior. In a close contest between the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries, a fan threw a neon green dildo onto the court in the final minute, causing a brief stoppage; the Valkyries went on to win 77-75. This incident drew humor from broadcasters and comparisons to similar events in the NFL. In a separate Phoenix Mercury-Washington Mystics game, Mercury star Kahleah Copper's wig was accidentally pulled off during play, prompting her to leave the court and a brief game pause. A fan who mocked Copper was ejected after players and officials intervened. Both episodes have sparked discussion about challenges related to fan conduct and unexpected disruptions in professional women's basketball.
