“Stop throwing dildos on the court,” Sophie Cunningham said, as more objects were hurled during WNBA games.
Sex toys were thrown onto the court at two WNBA games Tuesday night, raising fresh concerns about player safety and fan behavior.
Videos on social media showed green dildos being thrown at Barclays Center during the Liberty-Wings game and at Crypto.com Arena, where the Fever played the Sparks. In Los Angeles, the object nearly struck Indiana’s Sophie Cunningham, who later posted, “Stop throwing dildos on the court. You’re going to hurt one of us.”
Sparks’ Kelsey Plum kicked the object off the court, while in New York, a similar item was seen in the stands but didn’t reach the playing area.
The incidents follow the recent arrest of 23-year-old Delbert Carver, charged after a similar stunt during a July 29 game.
Players, including Isabelle Harrison and Angel Reese, have condemned the behavior. “It’s obviously safety,” Harrison told The Post. “I just hate that that’s being attached to our brand.”
The Liberty declined to comment on the incident at their game.
