WNBA Player Sophie Cunningham Hit by Flying Sex Toy Amid Court Incident Pattern

The WNBA has been experiencing a troubling series of incidents involving sex toys being thrown onto courts during games, with Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham recently becoming a victim when a green dildo nearly hit her during a game against the Los Angeles Sparks. This marks the third such incident in the past week, following similar occurrences in Atlanta and Chicago, leading to an arrest related to one of the cases. Cunningham had previously warned fans to stop throwing these objects, fearing someone might get hurt, and she responded to the latest incident with humor and disbelief, though players and coaches have expressed serious concern over safety and respect for the game. Sparks coach Lynne Roberts called the behavior "ridiculous" and "dangerous," emphasizing player safety as the top priority. The WNBA has condemned the actions and is taking steps, including arrests, to address the misconduct. While Cunningham has taken the incidents in stride, the league and its community are pushing for an end to this disturbing pattern of fan behavior.
