Cryptocurrency Group ‘Green Dildo Coin’ Linked to Sex Toy Tosses Disrupting WNBA Games
Multiple Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) games across the United States have been disrupted by the unusual and inappropriate throwing of neon green sex toys onto the courts during live matches. This bizarre series of incidents, which has occurred in cities including Atlanta, Chicago, Phoenix, New York, and Los Angeles, has raised concerns among players, coaches, fans, and league officials about the safety and respect for the sport.
An emerging cryptocurrency meme coin group known as Green Dildo Coin has claimed responsibility for orchestrating these stunts. According to statements made by anonymous members of the group, the sex toy tosses were planned as viral marketing stunts aimed at boosting the coin’s online visibility and increasing its value via social media shock value and community livestreams.
The group denies any sexist or misogynistic intent, framing the campaign as a scheme to gain attention without paying influencers or traditional marketing fees. A spokesperson from the group told USA Today that going viral was the essential goal: “We knew we had to go viral to get attention.” The crypto community coordinating these activities has reportedly used livestreams and social media platforms to organize their efforts in real time.
Despite the crypto group’s claims, WNBA players and coaches have widely condemned the disruptions as dangerous, disrespectful, and indicative of misogynistic attitudes. Many league stakeholders fear that such behavior threatens player safety and undermines the professionalism of women’s sports.
Arrests and Ongoing Investigation
Law enforcement has been involved following multiple incidents. In Atlanta, one person, Delbert Carver, was arrested and charged after an incident involving a sex toy thrown onto the court. According to police affidavits, Carver admitted to the act as a “joke” intended to go viral. However, the anonymous cryptocurrency enthusiast who claimed responsibility for the wider campaign told OutKick that Carver was likely “clout chasing” rather than the original instigator. The true main perpetrator behind the stunt reportedly remains unidentified and at large.
The anonymous source behind the crypto campaign expressed frustration regarding the arrests, suggesting that the police may have misidentified the true originator of the actions. Meanwhile, the stunt continued with a fourth reported incident occurring in Chicago, underscoring challenges faced by security in preventing such disruptions.
Broader Implications and Reactions
These incidents come at a sensitive time when women’s sports leagues like the WNBA are striving to build fan bases, secure sponsorships, and gain broader respect in professional athletics. Many players and coaches have openly criticized the stunt as harmful and offensive, emphasizing the importance of a safe and respectful environment for athletes.
Sports analysts and cultural commentators have debated whether these acts are merely reckless pranks or part of a deeper issue of misogyny in sports culture. The use of adult toys in this manner during live sporting events has sparked widespread debate online and drew significant media attention nationwide.
As of now, the WNBA and law enforcement agencies continue to investigate and review security protocols to prevent future disruptions. Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency community behind ‘Green Dildo Coin’ claims planning for further pranks, signaling more potential incidents unless curbed.
Conclusion
The ongoing sex toy tossing at WNBA games highlights a troubling intersection of provocative marketing strategies by cryptocurrency groups and the vulnerabilities of public sports events to disruptive stunts. While the memecoin group behind it seeks viral fame and financial gain, the human cost is borne by athletes and fans confronted with unsafe and degrading interruptions to professional women’s basketball.
