WNBA sex toy incidents possibly tied to cryptocurrency money scheme
Late in the first half of a Los Angeles Sparks-Indiana Fever game on Tuesday night, a neon green sex toy was thrown onto the floor of Crypto.com Arena, near Indiana guard Sophie Cunningham.
During an audio livestream on X, a group of people celebrated the incident, seeing it as a way to boost the value of a memecoin created on July 28. The coin's value had nearly tripled by Thursday.
The disruptions at the WNBA games seemed to be coordinated efforts originating from internet culture and cryptocurrency markets. Users discussing the incidents often hid their identities and linked the disruptions to a memecoin called Green Dildo Coin.
The disruptions involving sex toys at WNBA games have sparked controversy and led to concerns about the safety and respect for women in sports. The WNBA has taken a strong stance against such behavior, stating that anyone throwing objects onto the court will face ejection, bans, and potential legal consequences.
The incidents have also led to arrests, including a 23-year-old man charged with disorderly conduct and other offenses. The community behind Green Dildo Coin has been linked to the disruptions, with members communicating about throwing sex toys at WNBA games.
The disruptions have had an impact on the trading prices of the memecoin, with significant trading volume and speculation on future incidents. Despite claims that the disruptions using sex toys at WNBA games may cease, the community behind Green Dildo Coin remains active and continues to plan pranks.
