Bad boy footy legend makes a disgraceful joke about fans throwing sex toys onto the court during women's basketball games
A former AFL star has posted a disgusting take on the sex toy epidemic gripping the WNBA that saw a nine-year-old struck and two people arrested in recent week. The WNBA is grappling with a disturbing trend where fans are throwing green sex toys onto the court during games, disrupting play and raising serious safety concerns. A group of cryptocurrency traders says they are behind recent sexual pranks at WNBA games. They claim the incidents, involving green sex toys thrown onto the court, are to promote their new meme coin. At least six attempts have been made, leading to two spectator arrests in recent weeks. Spokesman @Daldo_Rain told USA Today the group plans more stunts to market 'Green Dildo Coin' (DILDO). The first incident occurred on July 29 during a game between the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries, with subsequent occurrences in Chicago, Phoenix, and Los Angeles. Dane Swan played 258 games for Collingwood from 2003 to 2016, winning a premiership, Brownlow Medal, and three Copeland Trophies. Since retiring, he has built a media career through television, radio, podcasts, and public appearances. And he found the situation in the WNBA hilarious, posting about it on social media platform X. 'When I read that the WNBA had a dildo problem it's fair to say it wasn't exactly what I thought the problem was gonna be,' he posted. While Swan made light of the situation, WNBA players and coaches have taken a significantly dimmer view. In one incident, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham was struck by a thrown object, prompting her to publicly condemn the behaviour and warn of potential injuries. 'Everyone is trying to make sure the W is not a joke and it's taken seriously, and then that happens,' Cunningham said recently on her podcast. 'I'm like, 'How are we ever going to get taken seriously?' 'It's ridiculous, it's dumb, it's stupid,' Sparks coach Lynne Roberts said after a recent incident in LA. 'It's also dangerous. Player safety is No. 1, respecting the game, all those things. I think it's really stupid.' The cryptocurrency traders told USA Today they don't intend to harm anyone and have urged members to avoid hitting people when throwing the sex toys onto the court. 'We didn't do this because like we dislike women's sports or, like, some of the narratives that are trending right now are ridiculous,' @Daldo_Rain told USA Today. 'Creating disruption at games is like, it happens in every single sport, right? We've seen it in the NFL, we've seen it in hockey, you know… fans doing random things to more or less create attention.' Two people have been arrested for throwing the sex toys on court, including 18-year-old Kaden Lopez and 23-year-old Delbert Carver. Lopez allegedly struck a man and his nine-year-old niece with the toy during a WNBA game between the Phoenix Mercury and Connecticut Sun. Carver was arrested in Georgia for allegedly throwing a sex toy during the July 29 game between the Golden State Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream. In a statement provided to the Daily Mail, the Sparks said: 'Incidents of this nature are taken seriously, as they pose a risk to players, officials, and others on the court. 'We are working with arena personnel to identify the individual responsible and ensure appropriate action is taken. 'Fan conduct that disrupts the game or compromises the safety of anyone in the arena will not be tolerated.' The WNBA also released a statement following Carver's arrest. 'The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league,' it read.

Cryptocurrency traders take responsibility for throwing sex toys at WNBA games to promote meme coin
A group of cryptocurrency traders are claiming responsibility for the wave of sexual pranks plaguing WNBA games. What's more, they say they're doing it to promote their new meme coin. Thus far, there have been no fewer than six instances of spectators attempting to throw green sex toys onto the court at WNBA games as at least two individuals have been arrested over the incidents. Now @Daldo_Rain, a spokesman for a group of cryptocurrency enthusiasts, has told USA Today that they are responsible for the pranks and currently have more planned for the future. Furthermore, the group says they've launched their own cryptocurrency, Green Dildo Coin (DILDO), which is a nod to the sex toys that have been thrown at WNBA players in the last two weeks. USA Today obtained text messages showing the group's coordinating efforts before the coin's July 28 launch. The first sex toy was thrown onto the court during an Atlanta Dream-Golden State Valkyries game the following day. Although police didn't catch the culprit that night, a 23-year-old Georgia man named Delbert Carver was allegedly caught throwing another sex toy at a Dream game on Friday night, leading to his arrest. Carver later confessed to being responsible for the July 29 incident as well. Carver was allegedly live streaming Friday's incident in Atlanta before being apprehended. 'This was supposed to be a joke and this joke was supposed to go viral,' Delbert allegedly told officers Friday, according to an incident report provided to Daily Mail by the College Park Police Department. Not every toy has sailed onto the court. In some cases, like a recent incident in Phoenix, an errant throw resulted in a spectator being hit with the sex toy (in this case, it was an adult male attending the game with his nine-year-old niece). Kaden Lopez, 18, was booked into jail on suspicion of disorderly conduct, assault and public display of explicit sexual material following the game. According to Fox 10 Phoenix, Lopez allegedly apologized for the act, saying it was 'stupid prank that was trending on social media.' It is also alleged in court documents that he bought the toy on Monday - just one day before the game. It's unclear if Lopez or Carver have connections to the group of cryptocurrency traders claiming responsibility for the pranks. Unfortunately for the oversexed pranksters, the meme coin remains practically worthless, trading at far less than a penny per 'Dildo' as of Thursday evening. Delbert Carver allegedly confessed to Tuesday's incident when caught performing a similar stunt at Friday's game outside Atlanta, according to the police report provided to Daily Mail The WNBA has declined to comment on the record about the USA Today story. The cryptocurrency traders told USA Today they do not wish to harm anyone and claim they've urged their members to ensure that nobody is hit with the sex toys as they're thrown onto the courts. 'We didn't do this because like we dislike women's sports or, like, some of the narratives that are trending right now are ridiculous,' @Daldo_Rain told USA Today. 'Creating disruption at games is like, it happens in every single sport, right? We've seen it in the NFL, we've seen it in hockey, you know… fans doing random things to more or less create attention. Sex toys have been thrown onto the playing surfaces of other sporting events, including a 2018 NFL game between the New England Patriots and Buffalo Bills. WNBA players and coaches aren't laughing. 'It's ridiculous, it's dumb, it's stupid,' Sparks coach Lynne Roberts said after a recent incident in LA. 'It's also dangerous. Player safety is No. 1, respecting the game, all those things. I think it's really stupid.'
