The obnoxious trend of fans throwing sex toys onto WNBA courts is back.
Multiple sex toys were thrown onto the court during the third quarter of the Sky’s last-second win over the Valkyries on Friday.
Afterward, point guard Natasha Cloud, who led the Sky with 17 points, had a message for the people who keep doing it.
“Y’all lame as [expletive],” she said. “In most of these occasions, it’s men. And I want you to know that the gayest thing you can do is to go to a sex shop, buy a dildo and come to a women’s game and throw the dildo on the court.
“I’m a firm believer that anyone that has so much of a problem with a marginalized group, just come out and say that you’re a part of our group, because the hate is unwarranted. It says more about the internal struggles of the individual than it ever will say about the collective group.
“The men that are throwing it, shows that you are weak. And it says a lot about how you feel about women.
“But we don’t care. It’s a disruption of the game. Y’all lame to us. Y’all gay to us. We see it. Keep throwing them if you want to keep telling us you’re gay.”
The trend began last season, when cryptocurrency promoters took responsibility for the stunt. It resurfaced Thursday night in Los Angeles, where the person accused of throwing one onto the court was arrested and banned from the arena.
The Sky are reviewing camera footage to identify the person responsible.
