Sex Toys Thrown at WNBA Games

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Didn't take long for the jokes, the funny memes, and
the fake videos to hit social media. After the third thing,
which rhymes with the words will know, was chucked onto
the floor to WNBA game, the floodgates opened. Babylon B
fake meme of the w NBA commissioner promising the next
person to throw one of those onto the court will

(00:22):
be forced to attend ten more WNBA games. Vegas now
has betting odds on what color the next toy will be.
Fake video of an NFL player plowing through a mechanical
gauntlet with fifty things that rhyme with armadillos trying to
jar the ball loose from the running back. New fake

(00:44):
WNBA logo with a female player driving for a layup
with the ball in one hand and a thing that
rhymes with will mo in the other. Not fifteen seconds
after a fifty year struggle to earn a smidge of respectability,
women's basketball is a national punchline all over again. A
third of a big rubber thing that rhymes with widow

(01:07):
found its way onto the WNBA court on Tuesday, interrupting
the Inaana fever in Los Angeles Sparks game. Third flying
fallus in the last ten days. What is going on
with the airborne bedroom gear at WNBA games? The answer
nothing good. First time, we thought just some guy whose

(01:27):
buddy dared him to do it, but now it seems coordinated.
Poly Market Sports, the world's largest online prediction market, is
claiming responsibility. At poly Market, you can bet on literally anything,
and they are making a killing on the big Green Blitzkrieg.
Poly Market betters wagered more money on whether another one

(01:49):
will be hurled onto a WNBA court this week than
on who will actually win the games. At the time
of publication, the headline read another word that rhymes with
until doe thrown at a WNBA game. By Friday reported
over sixty nine thousand dollars in volume, while the richest
straight up game line, Aces Versus Valkyries sat at sixty

(02:14):
eight hundred as of Wednesday evening. The contract priced a
sixty one percent chance of another one landing on the
hardwood before tomorrow's final buzzer. Traditional sportsbooks are trying to
cash in too. Bet Online is hanging plus one hundred
and thirty five odds on the next projectile will again
be green. It's actually quite sad the stunt has now

(02:37):
interrupted four contests in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, and New
York and led to at least two arrests. Worse, throwing
these things onto the floor of an active game isn't
just a prank. It can be dangerous and seems to
be targeting women's basketball. Is that what? This is? A message?
You women don't belong here. Your athleticism isn't nearly as

(02:58):
interesting as your sexuality. With all due respect to our
shrilling voices on the political left, this is the definition
of misogyny. Or maybe a whole bunch of guys still
can't process women as serious athletes in a traditionally men's sport.
They won't admit it, but the WNBA is perhaps the
most LGBTQ friendly league in all of international sport. Now

(03:21):
we know that these idiots throwing word that rhymes with
amarillo onto the court don't care about the players or coaches.
They don't care about what women deserve or how disgusting
and violating their actions are. You wonder if they do
it if their daughter was one of the players. It's
time for NBA players to stand in solidarity with these
women and call this behavior what it is unacceptable, sexist,

(03:44):
and detrimental to the entire sport. You wonder if they'll
do it. If not, that's a message too now. Until
these throwers grow up, about all you can do is
laugh it off, like Indiana fever guard Sidney Colton, who
posted a photo of one on Instagram with the caption
what is that a mouthguard?
