3 Sex Toys Reportedly Thrown on Court During Sky-Valkyries in Chicago

Unfortunately, some people have decided to disrespect WNBA players by throwing sex toys on the court during games again.

During a WNBA game, a disruptive incident occurred on Thursday night at Crypto.com Arena. In the third quarter of the Atlanta Dream versus Los Angeles Sparks match, a green sex toy was thrown onto the court. Sparks player Jihyun Park was at the free-throw line when the object flew past her before landing on the court. The individual responsible was arrested and banned indefinitely from all NBA, WNBA, and affiliated events, as reported by Zach Powell of The Athletic.

This is not the first time such behavior has been witnessed; at least three green sex toys were thrown onto the court during the Chicago Sky's game against the Golden State Valkyries, according to Front Office Sports' Colin Salao. A photo of the discarded items was shared by Salao. The game itself saw the Chicago Sky, ranked 15-22, defeat the Golden State Valkyries, ranked 25-11, with a dramatic buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Sydney Taylor.

The Sky had four players score in double digits, with Taylor contributing 14 points and Natasha Cloud leading the scoring with 17 points. Chicago will extend their three-game winning streak with a game against the Indiana Fever on Sunday. However, one fan will be absent from that match, and their absence is regrettable.
