Diana Taurasi revealed her bold response to sex toys on the court
Over the past few days, the WNBA has had several incidents involving unruly spectators unexpectedly throwing sex toys onto the court during games. There are a few theories as to why this keeps happening, though it is a continued problem that has now happened at several arenas around the league. One of the most recent incidents may have targeted Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, who shared her 5-word reaction on social media. It's unclear what the players should do as this keeps happening, but two-time WNBA Finals MVP and longtime Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi shared exactly how she would react. More: The green NSFW items throwing controversy at WNBA games, explained During an interview with Front Office Sports that will come out later today, the 2009 WNBA MVP shared her thoughts. Note that just because Taurasi said this is what she would do does not mean others should follow suit. Here is what she said she would do if she found herself in that situation during her career: "I would have picked that thing up and thrown it right back at them." That is, perhaps, the most Taurasi response imaginable and would have made for quite a moment.

Sex toys are being thrown on WNBA courts. Timeline of 'ridiculous' events
With a month left in the season, the WNBA is getting increased visibility, but it's not because of the tight playoff races or three of the league's stars being injured. The sports world is talking about objects being thrown on the court, specifically green neon sex toys. Over the past two weeks there have been three incidents during which a sex toy has been thrown on a WNBA court during live game action. The latest incident happened Tuesday night in a game between the Indiana Fever and the Los Angeles Sparks at Arena in L.A. "It's ridiculous, it's dumb, it's stupid," Sparks coach Lynne Roberts said after the game. "It's also dangerous. Player safety is No. 1, respecting the game, all those things. I think it's really stupid." Roberts' reaction is starting to become the norm, especially if the trend continues. Here is a timeline of events: July 29: Valkyries at Dream The first incident occurred on July 29 during the fourth quarter of the Atlanta Dream's game against the Golden State Valkyries at the Gateway Center Arena in College Park, Georgia. A 23-year-old man, Delbert Carver, was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, public indecency/indecent exposure and criminal trespass. Aug. 1: Valkyries at Sky During the Valkyries' game against the Sky at Wintrust Arena in Chicago on Aug. 1, another sex toy was thrown onto the court. Officials stopped play when the toy was heaved from the stands and landed by a baseline near the Sky's basket. An official kicked the toy away, and a Sky staffer quickly removed it. Aug. 5: Fever at Sparks With two minutes remaining in the second quarter of Tuesday's game, a sex toy landed on the court in the lane near Fever forward Sophie Cunningham, who earlier in the week went on social media to plead with fans not to throw things on the floor and posted another reaction after the game. Sparks guard Kelsey Plum kicking it into the stands. WNBA response to sex toys being thrown during games Each WNBA team has policies and security procedures about what spectators can and cannot bring into a specific arena. The league strongly encourages fans not to bring bags into venues, and every bag that is allowed within certain specifications is subject to search. The arenas also have an extensive list of what is allowed in arenas, with the obvious items such as weapons, fireworks, hazardous items, and tools being prohibited. The WNBA has issued warnings against any fan throwing objects on the court, saying violators would be "immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban," and could face charges from authorities. "The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league," the WNBA said in a statement. "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."
