The news as it trends

The Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) is cracking down after fans hurled sex toys onto the court during recent Golden State Valkyries games, prompting arrests and a wave of backlash.

The first incident took place on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, during the fourth quarter of a matchup between the Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream in College Park, Georgia.

A fan launched a sex toy onto the hardwood, causing a stir and leading to their arrest.

Just days later, on Friday, August 1, another object was tossed under the basket mid-game as the Valkyries faced off against the Chicago Sky, forcing officials to halt play.

League officials condemned the behavior, citing safety risks and instituting a strict one-year ban for violators.

Valkyries stars like Elizabeth Williams and Isabelle Harrison slammed the actions as “disrespectful” and “dangerous.”

As the WNBA gains momentum and visibility, the message is clear: courtside antics have consequences, and the league expects its rising fanbase to rise in maturity alongside its growing reputation.
