Basketball prodigy from Germany expresses bewilderment regarding interruption with sex toys during game.
In an unusual turn of events, a new cryptocurrency known as Green Dildo Coin (DILDO) has been making headlines for its unconventional promotional tactics. Two men have been arrested in the U.S. states of Georgia and Arizona for allegedly throwing bright green dildos onto basketball courts during WNBA games [1].
The cryptocurrency group behind Green Dildo Coin has openly taken credit for these stunts, which they claim are aimed at protesting or mocking cryptocurrency scammers [2]. However, the sexist and degrading nature of the act targeting women athletes has raised concerns.
The incidents are not random pranks but coordinated efforts by these crypto activists who chose WNBA games for maximum visibility, proximity to celebrities, and viral potential [3]. The WNBA has strongly condemned these incidents and threatened a minimum one-year ban from arenas for anyone involved.
The incident occurred during a game between the New York Liberty and the Los Angeles Sparks, and there have been several such incidents, including one at the arena where the Los Angeles Lakers also play their home games [1].
German basketball star Leonie Fiebich has expressed confusion about the disruptions of WNBA games by sex toys. Despite these incidents, Fiebich does not believe that they will harm the league's reputation [2].
The use of such tactics for promotional purposes has been criticised by many as tasteless advertising [1]. The Green Dildo Coin creators, however, seem undeterred, using the high-profile setting of professional women's basketball to draw viral attention to their meme coin [2][3].
