WNBA Faces Second In-Game Sex Toy Disruption This Week

The WNBA has been disrupted twice this week by neon green sex toys thrown onto the court during Golden State Valkyries road games, causing brief halts in play. Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky, injured and not playing, humorously blamed Indiana Fever's Sydney Colson on social media, prompting playful exchanges between the two players. While some, like Reese and Colson, treat the incidents with humor, many players including Sky's Elizabeth Williams, Fever's Sophie Cunningham, and Liberty's Isabelle Harrison have condemned the acts as immature, disrespectful, and dangerous, calling for improved arena security. The first incident required police and staff intervention to remove the object, while the second saw a referee simply kick it off the court to continue play. The recurring events have sparked concern about player safety and game integrity, with teams and arenas expected to increase vigilance going forward. Despite the levity from a few players, the WNBA community largely views the disruptions as serious and unacceptable.
