College Park, Georgia: Cryptocurrency Group Claims Responsibility for Sex Toy Incidents at WNBA Games
A cryptocurrency group known as Green Dildo Coin has admitted to being behind a series of bizarre incidents involving sex toys being thrown onto the court during WNBA games. As of August 9, 2025, there have been reported incidents at six WNBA games across various cities.
The first of these incidents occurred on July 29, during a match between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries in College Park, Georgia. A lime green sex toy was thrown onto the court just before the game reached its conclusion, leading to a stoppage in play with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter. Less than a week later, an individual named Delbert Carver was arrested for his alleged role in this first incident. He faced charges for disorderly conduct, public indecency, and criminal trespass.
Subsequent incidents were reported in various cities including Chicago, Phoenix, and Brooklyn, suggesting a coordinated effort among individuals involved. Following the Chicago occurrence, an official on the court even kicked a second sex toy away, provoking criticism from players who deemed the behavior disrespectful and immature.
Concerns surrounding player safety have been raised, with WNBA players and coaches voicing their frustrations about these juvenile antics diverting attention from the game. In response, the WNBA announced strict penalties for fans who intentionally throw objects onto the court. Those found guilty will face ejection, a minimum one-year ban, and possible legal action.
A second individual, Kaden Lopez, was arrested during a separate game for throwing a sex toy that struck a spectator and a child. These incidents are part of a promotional stunt by the Green Dildo Coin group, which launched its meme coin on July 28, just one day before the first incident occurred. The group described these actions as “opportunistic,” aiming to capitalize on the existing controversies surrounding the WNBA to garner public attention.
Following these outlandish stunts, the group hinted at a potential plan to disrupt other events, such as Major League Baseball games. Many players have expressed their concern about the serious implications these actions pose regarding safety and respect in sports. They have called for enhanced security measures in arenas to prevent such occurrences from happening again.
As incidents spread rapidly through social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), the dialogue around these stunts intensified, raising questions about misogyny and homophobia within sports culture. Experts and commentators widely criticized the actions as perpetuating a harmful culture of disrespect toward women in athletics. There has been a renewed emphasis on advocating for women’s rights and safety in sporting venues.
Both the WNBA and the players’ union are currently investigating the matter, engaging local and federal authorities for assistance in addressing these disturbing incidents. The focus remains on ensuring a safe and respectful environment for players and fans alike.
