Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham wants WNBA games to stop having fans throw objects onto the court.
This past week, the WNBA made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Twice, a green dildo was thrown onto the court during Golden State Valkyries games, halting play and creating chaos mid-game.
Indiana’s Sophie Cunningham posted bluntly on social media:
“stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us.”
The first incident occurred on July 29 during a tight matchup between the Valkyries and Atlanta Dream.
With the game tied at 75‑75 in the final minute, a fan tossed a neon-green sex toy onto the floor, prompting an abrupt stoppage before officials removed the item and resumed play. The Valkyries went on to win 77‑75, but the moment quickly went viral.
Then, just days later, on August 1, it happened again.
During a game between the Valkyries and the Chicago Sky, another green dildo was thrown near the basket in the third quarter, once again stopping the action as referees and staff scrambled to clear the floor.
This also could be recoil from fans as a whole about the "pay us what you owe us" campaign, saying you don’t deserve squat, just not put as nicely.
The WNBA is sometimes more of a reality TV show than a competitive, entertaining sport, and this just adds to that perception.
