WNBA Fan arrested for sex toy toss allegedly made ‘viral joke' confession to police
The post WNBA Fan arrested for sex toy toss allegedly made 'viral joke' confession to police appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Golden State Valkyries, in their debut season in the WNBA, have had plenty of positives to take away already. Head coach Natalie Nakase is firmly in conversation for the WNBA Coach of the Year with the Valkyries currently boasting of a 14-14 record. However, there has been plenty of bizarre incidents occuring as well. The most prominent among them occurred when a fan seemingly threw a sex toy on court during the fourth quarter of the game against the Atlanta Dream, leading to the arrest of one Delbert Carver. Carver was taken into custody and booked at the Clayton County Jail at 7:42 PM on Saturday before being released on bond late Sunday, per ESPN. The 23-year-old had allegedly thrown a green sex toy on the court on which the broadcast camera zoomed in before quickly switching away. Delbert has been charged with disorderly conduct and allegedly told the police that 'this was supposed to be a joke and this joke [was] supposed to go viral.' The Valkyries have not yet commented on the situation. 'The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league. Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans,' the WNBA wrote in a statement. It further read that any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will face immediate ejection, a minimum one-year ban, and will be subject to 'arrest and prosecution by local authorities.' A similar incident had occured during the Valkyries' game against the Chicago Sky. However, Chicago Police claimed that there was no 'call of service' for that particular incident. The Valkyries will now face the Las Vegas Aces at the Chase Center on August 6.

Multiple charges filed against man after sex toy thrown onto court during Valkyries game
The man arrested for throwing a sex toy onto the court during last week's Golden State Valkyries game against the Atlanta Dream faces charges of disorderly conduct, public indecency/indecent exposure and criminal trespass. Police in College Park, Ga., arrested Delbert Carver, 23, on Saturday. According to police records, Carver was booked into Clayton County Jail in Jonesboro, Ga., at 7:42 p.m Saturday. He was released late Sunday on an undisclosed bond. Clayton County's court system website lists the case's status as 'pending.' According to the police affidavit, Carver allegedly told police, 'this was supposed to be a joke and this joke (was) supposed to go viral.' The Valkyries declined to comment, but in a statement, the WNBA said, 'The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league. Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area 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.' A second lime green sex toy was thrown onto the court Friday during the third quarter of the Valkyries' game at the Chicago Sky. According to ESPN, Chicago police said, 'we don't see a call of service for that incident.'

The untapped potential AI can't replace in underserved communities like mine
The crime of post-60s liberalism is that it created permanent Black underclasses all over America, including on the South Side of Chicago where I live. The schools here are poor. Opportunities have been replaced by government handouts. Violence robs far too many families of their loved ones. Yet, there is much untapped potential in these underclasses. I thought about them as I listened to Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs" detail the need for hundreds of thousands of tradesmen and women recently at the Pennsylvania Energy & Innovation Summit. He began by saying, "We've been telling kids for 15 years to learn to code." I, too, have been told to pursue that as a means of opportunity for my youth. But I always believed in the power of the trades. Rowe pointed out how the advent of AI has decimated many coding jobs but has not come after "the welders, the plumbers, the steamfitters, the pipefitters, the HVAC, or the electricians." AI cannot do manual labor. For the last 20 or so, our nation has emphasized the college degree above everything, including vocational training. In my opinion, this has been disastrous. In my community, there are still those who look down at the prospect of working with their hands. They believe the college degree is their ticket. Maybe it is, but my point here is that work done by our hands should not be looked down upon in our culture. It's honest work. Rowe said that he heard Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO of BlackRock, say in Aspen that "we need 500,000 electricians in the next couple of years — not hyperbole." My non-profit has provided training in the electrician field to many individuals, including a Chicago Police officer who eventually left the force to work full time in her new field. He said the over 80,000 collision repair technicians would be needed. Over 140,000 tradespeople are needed to help companies build and deliver nuclear-powered submarines to the Navy. And for the energy field, 300,000 to 500,000 people will be needed. AI can't do any of this work. But I know people from the South Side and similar neighborhoods across America who can. We need to train these people and put them to work. They may be living in poverty and they may not have received the best education. But many of them are hungry to improve their lives. That is why our nation must reverse the decline of post-60s liberalism by giving these people direct pathways to opportunity. If one should fail or act detrimentally, then dismiss that person and let him or her be an example to others of what happens when one doesn't fully commit. We are a nation in a crisis. If we don't reverse the fortunes of my neighborhood and others like it, then when? The Golden Age for many Americans lies in the pursuit of a livelihood in the trades.
