Sex Toys Disrupt WNBA Games in Meme-Coin Marketing Stunt

Two men have been charged after sex toy throws the league says were designed to boost a new prank cryptocurrency

Overview

  • Several WNBA games in early August were interrupted when spectators threw green sex toys onto the court
  • Police in Georgia and Arizona arrested two suspects who now face charges of public indecency and trespass
  • The WNBA condemned the disruptions and warned of at least one-year arena bans and potential prosecution for anyone caught
  • League officials linked the incidents to a viral marketing campaign for a meme cryptocurrency called Green Dildo Coin
  • German forward Leonie Fiebich called the stunts reckless and said swift removal of the toys kept games on track without harming the league’s image
