Crypto club claims it intended to toss sex toys at WNBA matches
Virial Memes & WNBA Court Chaos
A meme coin collective, boasting the tag Green Dildo Coin, has claimed responsibility for a stream of outrageous stunts that saw sex toys flung onto WNBA courts. The escapades have rattled players, angered fans, and culminated in at least two arrests.
Key Incidents
- July 29 – A green sex toy landed on the court during the Atlanta Dream vs. Golden State Valkyries showdown.
- Across the following week, similar objects were tossed onto courts or into stands at other games, with a repeat appearance in Atlanta.
- September 14 – An 18‑year‑old man was detained for hurling a sex toy at a Phoenix Mercury game, striking a fan who was at the event with his niece.
Arrests & Allegations
The WNBA confirmed that one individual was arrested in connection to the Atlanta incident and that a separate arrest occurred in Phoenix. The arrested parties, Delbert Carter and Kaden Lopez, were not members of the cryptocurrency group.
Lopez admitted that he saw the trend on social media and purchased his own sex toy to throw, while Carter’s motivation remains unclear.
Group’s Statement
The unnamed spokesperson for the meme coin group, indeed focused on critiquing current narratives, asserted:
“Our objective was not to dislike women’s sports. We needed a voice in the space, and we had to perform viral stunts to avoid paying the influencer cabal, sacrificing our souls, and jeopardizing the project.”
In a forward‑looking tone, the spokesperson promised lighter, more tasteful pranks in the future.
WWNBA’s Response
The WNBA issued a statement on Thursday confirming that arena personnel were working to identify perpetrators and to ensure “appropriate action” was enforced. The league has yet to comment on the reports of the meme coin group’s involvement.
Takeaway
The intersection of meme coin hype and professional sports has led to an unprecedented court‑tossing saga that has rattled fans, arrested participants, and forced the WNBA to seek accountability from both arena staff and the crypto community.
