Cryptocurrency Marketing Incident Sparks Controversy Over WNBA Dildo Tossing Event
In a series of bizarre incidents, sex toys have been thrown onto WNBA courts during games, causing disruptions and raising concerns about player safety and respect for the game. The pseudonymous group behind these disruptive acts is known as the Green Dildo Coin community.
The first incident occurred on July 29 during a game between the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries. Since then, similar incidents have been reported, with the most recent one taking place in Phoenix involving an 18-year-old who allegedly threw a green sex toy into the crowd, hitting a man attending the game with his nine-year-old niece.
Delbert Carver, a 23-year-old resident of Georgia, was arrested on August 1 for throwing a sex toy onto the court during a match between Atlanta Dream and Phoenix Mercury, and also claimed responsibility for the July 29 incident.
The WNBA did not immediately respond to a request for comment but has warned that throwing items onto the court can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans. In line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by local authorities.
The Green Dildo Coin community, however, seems to find the attention they are bringing to women's sports pleasing. The coin, launched alongside an NFT collection in late July, has gained 193.7% in the past week and is currently priced at $0.0009073. According to CoinGecko, the token's 24-hour trading volume is $1.23 million, up 28.5% from the previous day.
The group has been encouraging each other to share and repost any mention of their stunts in the hopes of getting more people to buy their token. Members of the Green Dildo Coin group have also brainstormed ideas for future attacks, proposing targets such as the Boston Marathon, a Lady Gaga concert, and Wimbledon.
It is not clear which incidents were formally organized by the group and which are the result of other people jumping on the bandwagon. The group's discussions suggest they are paying individuals to throw dildos, including offering an extra $500 if it "stuck upwards" on landing.
Notably, Donald Trump Jr. has posted a meme featuring his father about the incidents on Instagram. However, the Green Dildo Coin group's X account has less than 900 followers, and their Telegram group has just over 1,000 members.
Los Angeles Sparks coach Lynne Roberts expressed concern about the incidents, stating that player safety and respect for the game are important. As the WNBA continues to investigate these incidents, it remains to be seen how they will address this unique form of disruption.
