‘It's super disrespectful': WNBA players exasperated after sex toy thrown onto court for second time in a week
WNBA players have spoken out after a second game this week was delayed due to a sex toy being thrown onto the court. 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.

Another sex toy gets thrown onto the court during a WNBA game
CHICAGO — A sex toy was tossed onto the court during a WNBA game for the second time this week. Video showed the sex toy out of bounds under a basket after a whistle was blown to stop play during the third quarter of the Golden State Valkyries' 73-66 victory over the Chicago Sky. An official then kicked it aside before it was picked up and removed. 'It's super disrespectful,' Sky center Elizabeth Williams said in the postgame press conference. 'I don't really get the point of it. It's really immature. Whoever is doing it needs to grow up.' A similar incident occurred Tuesday during the Valkyries' 77-75 victory over the Atlanta Dream in College Park, Georgia. 'I mean, first of all, it was super dangerous,' Valkyries forward Cecilia Zandalasini said after Tuesday's game. 'And then when we found out what it was, I guess we just started laughing. I've never seen anything like that. I'm just glad we worked through that situation. We stayed locked in, we stayed concentrated.' New York Liberty forward Isabelle Harrison commented on social media about the situation Friday. 'ARENA SECURITY?! Hello??!' Harrison said on X. 'Please do better. It's not funny. Never was funny.
