‘It's super disrespectful': WNBA players exasperated after sex toy thrown onto court for second time in a week
In the third quarter of the Golden State Valkyries' 73-66 win over the Chicago Sky on Friday night, the bright green toy was thrown from the stands at Wintrust Arena in Chicago and landed just out of bounds underneath one of the baskets.
With the Sky on the attack, the game was halted and an official kicked the object to the side, where it was picked up with a towel and removed.
'It's super disrespectful,' Sky center Elizabeth Williams told reporters afterward. 'I don't really get the point of it. It's really immature. Whoever's doing it just needs to grow up.'
The incident came just three days after another sex toy was thrown onto the court during the Valkyries' 77-75 victory over the Atlanta Dream at Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia.
Following Friday's reoccurrence, a number of players from around the WNBA took to social media to comment on the incidents.
'ARENA SECURITY?! Hello??!' wrote New York Liberty forward Isabelle Harrison wrote on X. 'Please do better. It's not funny. never was funny. Throwing ANYTHING on the court is so dangerous.'
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham echoed Harrison's anger, writing: 'Stop throwing dildos on the court… you're going to hurt one of us.'
CNN has contacted the WNBA for comment.

'Hail and Farewell' Ceremony Honors Incoming Fellows and Graduating Class of 2024–25 at Steadman Philippon Research Institute and The Steadman Clinic
VAIL, Colo., Aug. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Each July, Steadman Philippon Research Institute (SPRI) and The Steadman Clinic pause to honor a time-honored tradition—celebrating the accomplishments of outgoing fellows while embracing the arrival of a new class of aspiring surgeons. This year's 'Hail and Farewell' ceremony, held on July 31 at Donovan Pavilion, marked a meaningful milestone in the journey of surgical fellows who have dedicated a year to intensive subspecialty training. The event brought together colleagues, mentors and staff to recognize the achievements of the departing 2024–25 fellows and welcome the incoming 2025–26 cohort. Ten new surgical fellows were welcomed to SPRI and The Steadman Clinic, embarking on a 12-month training program under the mentorship of internationally renowned surgeons, scientists and researchers. The fellowship programs include the ACGME-accredited Sports Medicine Fellowship, AOFAS-accredited Foot and Ankle Surgery Fellowship and the Spine Fellowship, welcoming its first fellow this year. As the new fellows began their journey, 10 graduating fellows concluded theirs—each stepping into advanced roles at some of the nation's leading clinics and hospitals. Their time at SPRI and The Steadman Clinic reflects not only technical excellence but a deep engagement with collaborative care and pioneering research. 'Over the past two decades, our fellows' program has produced some of the country's most distinguished orthopaedic surgeons,' said Marc J. Philippon, M.D., Managing Partner of The Steadman Clinic, Chairman of SPRI, and Co-Director of the Sports Medicine Fellowship and Hip Preservation & Reconstruction Fellowship. 'Their impact is evident not only across the field but right here at home—nine members of our current surgical team first joined us as fellows.' Fellows receive hands-on clinical training while also contributing to the future of orthopaedics through original research. Each fellow is responsible for authoring peer-reviewed projects and presenting their findings to the SPRI Research Faculty and Scientific Advisory Board prior to graduation. 'What sets our program apart is the depth of mentorship and the collaborative spirit that infuses both SPRI and The Steadman Clinic,' said Matthew T. Provencher, M.D., M.B.A., Co-Director of the Sports Medicine Fellowship. 'Fellows are integrated fully into patient care and research efforts. The relationships they build here—with staff, patients and each other—form a lasting foundation.' The program is guided by a group of esteemed faculty: Incoming fellows also benefit from close collaboration with Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Johnny Huard and his team at SPRI, whose research into biologic treatments and healthy aging is making a significant impact on orthopaedic clinical care. SPRI's departments also include Biomedical Engineering, which includes Robotics, Biomotion and Surgical Skills Laboratories and clinical outcomes research. Through the clinical fellowships, SPRI and The Steadman Clinic are committed to training the orthopaedic leaders of tomorrow in surgical excellence, patient care and the importance of research integration within clinical practice. The 10 physicians that form the incoming 2025-26 class of fellows are listed below, followed by the place of their medical residencies: Sports Medicine Monica Arney, M.D., University of Virginia Mikalyn DeFoor, M.D., CAPT, U.S.A.F., M.C., San Antonio Military Medical Center/Brooke Army Medical Center (Texas) Shane Korber, M.D., University of Southern California Devin Leland, M.D., Mayo Clinic (Minn.)

College tennis facing threats of cuts at same time many of its alums are starring in pro ranks
This should be an exhilarating moment for college tennis. Wimbledon featured a record 26 current or former college players in men's singles and nine more in the women's draw. TCU's Jack Pinnington Jones and San Diego's Oliver Tarvet, who reached the second round, played for their college teams just this spring. Ben Shelton, a 2022 NCAA singles champion at Florida, reached the quarterfinals. All of this is occurring as the threat of elimination faces numerous tennis programs. According to the International Tennis Association, which governs college tennis, schools dropping tennis since 2024 includes Central Arkansas (women), Eastern Illinois (men and women), Lindenwood (men), Louisiana-Monroe (women), Radford (men and women), St. Francis College (men and women), San Francisco (men and women), Seattle (men) and UTEP (women). Former San Francisco men's player Asaf Friedler noted the Dons hadn't even finished the 2024 season when the athletic director emailed about a meeting the following day, where they learned the program would be dropped in a matter of weeks. Friedler remembers players crying at practice later that day. He said a recruit had committed to San Francisco just a couple of days before the announcement, a sign that even coaches were caught off guard. 'We were all like in shock,' Friedler said. 'We didn't know what to say. We looked at each other and we were very confused.' On the line During the pandemic, nearly two dozen men's or women's tennis programs were eliminated. But the latest cuts come as colleges across the country deal with the hard choices and financial realities of the $2.8 billion House settlement. Revenue sharing tends to favor football and basketball, and there are roster caps. The calculations are different for each school. David Mullins, CEO of the ITA, says college tennis is a great pathway to the pros. 'Our position within the tennis industry has never been better,' Mullins said. 'But on the other side, we're dealing with all these things happening with the NCAA model. Probably the challenges that we're facing from the collegiate side domestically have never been greater.' Louisiana-Monroe athletic director John Hartwell noted schools opting into the settlement must sponsor at least 16 sports. Louisiana-Monroe had 17 sports before eliminating women's tennis. 'Probably a factor for some folks is the squad size, that probably has something to do with it,' Hartwell said. 'Facilities are a challenge, too. I think those are probably key components. But I also think a lot of these schools that have more than required 16 sports are analyzing everything cost-wise.' Cutting tennis saved Louisiana-Monroe about $250,000. Hartwell said the scholarship funds that went to tennis now will be directed toward the school's other women's teams. Roster size also leaves tennis vulnerable. Dropping a different sport with more team members leaves more athletes disappointed. 'When you're cutting a sport, it's not a fun position to be in,' Central Arkansas athletic director Matt Whiting said. 'You have to factor in numbers in those situations. (Tennis) certainly has a smaller roster.' Schools that eliminate tennis programs generally allow players to remain on scholarship throughout their time at the school. Many choose to transfer, searching for a new school while adjusting to a new country. Mullins estimates about 60% of the players on Division I teams generally come from outside the U.S. Alex Aldaz, who is from Spain and played for Eastern Illinois this year, said his team got the news after the season already had ended and many of them were already back in their home countries. 'Their faces were like they didn't know how to react,' Aldaz said. 'They were lost... sad and angry.' Aldaz is now at Mercer. Friedler, who is from Israel, played for Tulane this past season. Many of their former teammates at their original schools weren't as fortunate. Searching for solutions Many college tennis programs don't have facilities on campus, forcing them to rent local courts. Whiting said Central Arkansas had a facility on campus that required an estimated $1.5 million to $2 million in repairs. Hartwell said Louisiana-Monroe's tennis facility needed about $750,000 in improvements. Mullins said the U.S. Tennis Association has offered grants to colleges opening full-service tennis centers to foster the sport's growth in their communities. Those schools then can make money by renting out their courts when their teams aren't using them. South Carolina is the latest school to attempt this, hiring Dainyell Fox as the Carolina Tennis Center's operations manager within the past year. Fox has started organizing tennis lessons and classes while also exploring other potential revenue options. 'Our goal isn't going to necessarily put us completely in the black, but it reduces the financial footprint of men's and women's tennis,' South Carolina deputy athletic director Judy Van Horn said. The list of former Gamecocks includes Francisco Cerundolo, who is in the top 25 of the ATP rankings. Just as a growing number of former major-conference players succeed on the pro circuit, the struggle to survive is real for plenty of smaller programs. 'Our position is strengthened with each passing Grand Slam,' Mullins said. 'But on the other side, we have all these challenges here domestically that we're not able to control.' ___ AP tennis:

Barry's Ticket Service Reveals Dramatic NFL Secondary Market Trends: Super Bowl Prices Experience Historic 83% Drop from 2024 Peak
Calabasas, CA August 04, 2025 --( )-- Barry's Ticket Service, with over 40 years of experience in the secondary ticket market, today released a comprehensive analysis revealing unprecedented volatility in NFL secondary market pricing from 2020-2025, culminating in Super Bowl LIX ticket prices dropping 47% from last year's record-breaking levels. The analysis shows Super Bowl ticket prices reached historic highs of over $12,000 in Las Vegas for Super Bowl LVIII in 2024, before correcting to a median price of $6,304 for this year's game in New Orleans – representing the most dramatic price swing in NFL history. Key Findings: The study identifies three distinct market phases: pandemic disruption (2020-2021), recovery and inflation (2022-2023), and market correction (2024-2025). Super Bowl LV in Tampa Bay had reduced capacity, with 70,000 fans reduced to 22,000, driving average prices to $12,477. Meanwhile, regular season tickets increased by 53% during the pandemic period. 'We've witnessed a fundamental shift in buyer behavior,' said industry experts at Barry's Ticket Service. 'Venue location has become as important as team performance in driving secondary market prices.' The Las Vegas Effect: The 2024 Super Bowl in Las Vegas created a 'perfect pricing storm' with multiple factors converging: the destination city's appeal, Allegiant Stadium's smaller capacity of 61,629, celebrity attendance (Taylor Swift), and the Chiefs' dynasty storyline. The most expensive single ticket reached over $50,000. Market Correction: The 2025 Super Bowl in New Orleans demonstrates the impact of market forces, with several factors contributing to the price adjustment: venue familiarity (the 11th time hosting), increased capacity (73,000 vs. 61,629), and 'Chiefs fatigue' among some fans. The analysis reveals consistent pricing hierarchies across all NFL games, with playoff premiums ranging from 2 to 3 times the regular-season prices for Wild Card games to 15 to 25 times the regular-season prices for Super Bowl tickets. Barry's Ticket Service offers industry-leading All-In pricing with no hidden fees and 100% guaranteed authentic tickets. For expert guidance on NFL ticket purchases, visit or call 800-348-8499.
