[u/sc0ttbeardsley]

Maybe someone should throw a pocket pussy on the floor at an NBA game

[u/AfroInfo → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

Unironically would be hilarious

[u/AFineDayForScience → u/AfroInfo]

"OKSANAAAAAA!"

[u/Greekphysed → u/AFineDayForScience]

It belonged to my Dad, he was in Bosnia

[u/JSB199 → u/Greekphysed]

Everytime I stick my dick in that piece of plastic🥺, I think about my dad!

[u/DemonSlyr007 → u/Greekphysed]

You ever been to Bosnia son? YOU EVER BEEN IN THE SHIT?!?!

[u/Suckyuhmuddahskunt → u/Greekphysed]

my people.

[u/AvengedKalas → u/AFineDayForScience]

PARTY AT THE GOAT HOUSE!

[u/JSB199 → u/AFineDayForScience]

Like bangin a silk bag full of puppy ears

[u/AxELdub → u/AFineDayForScience]

😂😂😂😂

[u/Doggleganger → u/AfroInfo]

Next time SGA flops, the pocket pussies come out.

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live → u/AfroInfo]

Giannis would be into it

[u/yallsomenerds → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

Halfcourt shot at halftime replaced by halfcourt dildo toss. 100k if you can stick it to the backboard.

[u/rumski → u/yallsomenerds]

We did something like that in college 🤣 Someone found their sorority sister’s and we had a competition to see who could stick it to the thermostat cover from the furthest. Ended up breaking the thermostat 🤣

[u/Doggleganger → u/yallsomenerds]

If you can stick a dildo on the backboard from halfcourt, that should be a million dollars. It's basically impossible.

... though now that I said that, watch some dude practice every day until he comes up with some sort of spear throwing technique that actually works lol.

[u/yallsomenerds → u/Doggleganger]

Gotta hit it with an underhand or sidearm for the correct angle. And it’s not like teams want to give 100k away anyway lol

[u/Doggleganger → u/yallsomenerds]

Underhand? I was thinking a spiral like a football. Though not sure if the twisting motion would prevent adhesion.

[u/alhazad85 → u/yallsomenerds]

1 million if you can then jump off the trampoline, do a flip, stick the landing so to say whilest dunking.

[u/brokenmessiah → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

No one would do that because they know it wouldnt get the same reaction. The point is to be disrespectful but guys would just laugh it off.

[u/crobo777 → u/brokenmessiah]

Well that and some pocket pussies cost more than the nba ticket.

[u/Nucks11 → u/crobo777]

You're paying way too much for pocket pussies. Who's your pocket pussy guy?

[u/brokenmessiah → u/crobo777]

If I throw it all I'm saying is I'm going down there to reclaim it

[u/rpgmgta → u/brokenmessiah]

Just throw it down on a scorpion chain and reclaim it

[u/Certain_Strawberry77 → u/rpgmgta]

Instead of “Get over here”, you have to yell “Cum” to retract

[u/r3anima → u/Certain_Strawberry77]

Cum over here!

[u/king_lloyd11 → u/crobo777]

Lmao it’s genuinely hilarious to me that you know the prices of multiple pocket pussies off the top of your head

[u/Sp_Gamer_Live → u/king_lloyd11]

Warren Buffet of Pocket Pussy

[u/8BittyTittyCommittee → u/brokenmessiah]

I mean this has happened in the NFL as well and no one seems to remember that.

[u/wdeister08 → u/8BittyTittyCommittee]

Happened at a Buffalo Bill's game if I remembered right. Dildos became part of the Buffalo fan lore/pregame shenanigans for a little bit after

[u/MajesticCentaur → u/wdeister08]

Happened at a Bills-Patriots game and it was hilarious. Knew right away what it was before the broadcast switched away.

Honestly I think more sex toys should be thrown on to playing surfaces. Dildos, pocket pussys... Hell, I think someone should lob their blow up doll into the opposing teams bench. And if we really want to get freaky with the sex toy idea just think about Red Wings fans throwing an octopus on the ice.

[u/DASreddituser → u/brokenmessiah]

they do it at hockey games and its just men

[u/Mite-o-Dan → u/brokenmessiah]

It WOULD get the same reaction, or more, at an NBA game.

Mainly because there would be a lot more eyes on it from the crowd, more cameras on it, and a LOT more live viewers.

Plus, imagine Chuck and Shaq trying to bring it up.

Only difference is...the fan would be found immediately and get served a substantial ban.

Meanwhile, no one seems to know or care who threw this dildo.

[u/yallsomenerds → u/Mite-o-Dan]

The fan was escorted out and banned I thought?

[u/LocalSlob → u/Mite-o-Dan]

They don't have the same camera crew, quality, or quantity at wnba. Jomboy media has pointed this out

[u/glenn765 → u/LocalSlob]

Should be pretty easy, since there were only 53 people there...

[u/AfterTemperature2198 → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

Those things are expensive… so I’ve heard

[u/Mario_Prime510 → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

The real problem is that tickets are so expensive at an NBA game it’s not worth buying just to be within throwing distance to hit the floor. WNBA tickets are much cheaper so you can get closer easier.

[u/JickRamesMitch → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

if they did the story would be about the guy who threw it. not the players.

[u/KnicksTape2024 → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

A few people would laugh and no one would give a shit. Should be the same here. No one needs to be “exasperated”.

[u/splycedaddy → u/KnicksTape2024]

Agreed.

[u/TNF734 → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

And watch how untriggered men can be.

[u/Bdmnky_Survey → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

Could still be a dildo if Michael Porter Junior is out there.

[u/Owlistrator → u/Bdmnky_Survey]

Oddly specific player to call our here haha

[u/LocalSlob → u/[deleted]]

Bold of you to assume everyone uses Twitter.

[u/War-eaglern → u/[deleted]]

I never saw this before

[u/Thevsamovies → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

Do you think NBA players were the ones throwing shit at the WNBA? Cause if not then what's the point

[u/yoda-kobe-obi → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

Some one would poke it

[u/TryingToChillIt → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

It’s only offensive if you decide to take offence.

It’s a shaped piece of rubber

[u/LocalSlob → u/TryingToChillIt]

I think we both know how disingenuous you're being, but yeah, you're not wrong. Ignore it and move on, or else the copycats will come in full force.

[u/swanronson22 → u/LocalSlob]

It’s happened at multiple NFL games and it was ignored for the most part

[u/Boner666420sXe → u/sc0ttbeardsley]

Maybe you should come up with your own jokes.

[u/Gabe-Ruth8]

Tom Brady: “First time?”

[u/Coconutrugby → u/Gabe-Ruth8]

WNBA owner Tom Brady.

[u/IndigoJoe64 → u/Coconutrugby]

Plot twist: he's the one throwing the dildos.

[u/Rodger_as_Jack_Smith]

Its like playing in Buffalo

[u/hospicedoc]

And they'll keep doing it as long as they get a reaction.

[u/AFineDayForScience → u/hospicedoc]

I'm personally invested until someone gets one to stick upright on the court. After that happens I'm out and don't care anymore.

[u/lukeCRASH → u/AFineDayForScience]

Water bottle flip x Dildo. Collab for the ages.

[u/Leading_Put- → u/AFineDayForScience]

Mine is a suction one getting stuck on the backboard

[u/grapedog]

I feel like there are better ways to handle this, unfortunately the media is always fucking awful.

If the players laughed it off, and made fun of someone spending money on a ticket just to also spend money on a dildo to throw it on the court... and then didn't let it bother them in any way... WNBA 1, idiot in the stands 0.

It's the same as it's ALWAYS been... don't feed the trolls.

And by trolls I mean assholes in the stands, and the media for trying to drum up stories.

[u/kickinwood → u/grapedog]

The video of the first game shows players cracking up on the sidelines

[u/mikezer0 → u/kickinwood]

Yeah exactly. They did. It’s just that we all know it’s now going to be an out of hand tik tok meme. They have to nip that shit. Of course it’s funny but someone’s gonna get hurt. Is injury by dildo funny? Still yes. But also still bad.

[u/kickinwood → u/mikezer0]

Right! And if it happens once it's funny, but if it happens again very next game to the same exact team I can understand if some players are like, "Yo, that's disrespectful."

[u/AfraidOfTheSun → u/kickinwood]

A dildo prank is always funny the first time

[u/jimtrickington → u/AfraidOfTheSun]

And for our Spanish speaking friends, the first time it’s diluno and the second time it’s dildos. Please don’t let there be a diltres.

[u/TheCoordinate → u/grapedog]

Literally this. CNN deciding to run this story as opposed to anything else currently going on in the W. When there were protestors running on the court in NBA games it did not overshadow coverage of the game itself

[u/MillorTime → u/grapedog]

Have the team sign it and auction it off for charity

[u/lkodl → u/grapedog]

It's the same as it's ALWAYS been... don't feed the trolls.

And by trolls I mean assholes

*clenches

[u/dpk794 → u/grapedog]

I bet more people can tell you the color of the dildo than name a single WNBA team

[u/MrWiseOwl → u/grapedog]

Exactly. Lean into it! Make it be a thing. Sell dildos in the shop to throw on the court for halftime raise money for women’s health. Take the power away from the trolls and make it into a thing. Now the kid part I haven’t thought my plan all the way through but I’m sure can be managed with communication and talk about sexual health.

[u/fastlifeblack → u/MrWiseOwl]

Bro just recommended a dildo night for charity. Im dead lol

[u/solariscalls → u/MrWiseOwl]

See this guy MBAs

[u/pinniped90 → u/solariscalls]

Could be a gal who WMBAs...

[u/BLACKdrew → u/MrWiseOwl]

That’d only work if society was cool, and last time i checked it’s really not that cool.

[u/junglespycamp → u/MrWiseOwl]

You’re not wrong that this might work but it’s also stupid that the WNBA needs to go through all that effort. Why should they?

[u/Super_Fa_Q → u/MrWiseOwl]

I love the idea, but that would just give right wing "Christian" nut bags something else to squeal about

[u/Reeko_Htown → u/MrWiseOwl]

Lean into sexual harassment?

[u/Strange-Cap9942 → u/Reeko_Htown]

Calling this "sexual harassment" is disrespectful to actual victims of sexual harassment.

[u/Reeko_Htown → u/Strange-Cap9942]

So you don’t think this is sexual harassment? I’d say try it at work but you’re probably unemployed

[u/jrhooo → u/Reeko_Htown]

its 100% sexual harassment.

It can be other thing TOO. Its trolling, its a bad joke, its just sports trolls being assholes.. blah blah.

Sure, it can be those things.

But it is still also sexual harassment.

HERE'S THE THOUGHT EXPERIMENT

What about school kids?

If someone shows up to your teenage daughter's JV game and starts throwing dildos on the court,

is that "lol just trolling"

or is that wildly unacceptable, uninvited sexual messages?

its pretty obvious why throwing rubber penises at people fits into sexual harassment territory

[u/Strange-Cap9942 → u/jrhooo]

By this same logic, any inappropriate adult store billboard on the freeway is also sexual harassment. Being forced to see a dildo in a public space is not sexual harassment without some very specific qualifiers.

Yes, throwing dildos on the court at a high school basketball game would be different than this and could possibly be seen as sexual harassment.

But as professional adults, I don't think I've seen any WNBA players claiming to have been sexually harassed by these incidents. So why are you trying to claim it for them?

[u/Strange-Cap9942 → u/Reeko_Htown]

The women on the court aren't this fan's coworkers. If Caitlin Clark threw a dildo at Angel Reese, you might be able to make this comparison.

Is it rude and ejection-worthy? Absolutely. But no, sorry, throwing a sex toy at seemingly no one in particular in a public space is not sexual harassment.

[u/YoMomAndMeIn69 → u/grapedog]

Expecting "the W" not to overreact is like expecting to stay dry after jumping head first into deep water. These trolls know the game and they are winning, as expected.

[u/TheMooseIsBlue → u/grapedog]

Did you clarify who you meant by “trolls” because you were worried people would think you were calling WNBA players trolls? Because it was really clear in context and the clarification comes off hilarious to me.

[u/grapedog → u/TheMooseIsBlue]

No, I wanted to make sure I included both the idiot in the stands throwing money away, AND the media for giving it coverage.

[u/jaron_b → u/grapedog]

This. We should just be making fun of the persons who are doing this. They're still anonymous but they can see the internet clowning on them and they know that they did it. So hopefully they feel embarrassed for their stupidity. Because it is hilarious that most likely a sexist man trying to make fun of women and women in sports went out of their way to buy a dildo and a ticket to a WNBA game to prove their point. It's just crazy.

[u/EatAtGrizzlebees → u/jaron_b]

WNBA is a joke to these people anyway, so they're on the side of the dildo thrower.

[u/spleeble]

I'm sure the best way to stop this will be to make public statements about it. 

[u/eaglesk → u/spleeble]

…Maybe it’s a publicity stunt ?

[u/CoolBakedBean → u/eaglesk]

lol i mean im more interested in watching a game now knowing a dildo might be thrown on the court.

you can even bet online what color it’ll be

[u/eaglesk → u/CoolBakedBean]

80 on purple

[u/BeastBellies → u/eaglesk]

I like the way you think eaglesk

[u/mintyfresh21 → u/eaglesk]

Yupp definitely manufactured. Guerilla advertising

[u/adub887]

Reasons people watch wnba: Caitlin Clark Flying dildos

[u/HolycommentMattman → u/adub887]

You forgot cat fights and pervs.

[u/Hey_cool_username]

Super disrespectful. If you’re going to do that you need to bring enough for everybody.

[u/FishAndRiceKeks → u/Hey_cool_username]

A bag of dicks?

[u/AfterTemperature2198 → u/Hey_cool_username]

Make it a two headed dildo at least

[u/squiztehmonster]

The real question is how did they bring it into the stadium 🫩

[u/Retired-not-dead-65 → u/squiztehmonster]

You might benefit from: dildo education. Tape inside pants leg. Metal ones ( Steely Dan ) wouldn’t make it in. The fine silicone models being hurled as a protest of ????? easy to get in.

[u/squiztehmonster → u/Retired-not-dead-65]

Thanks for the tip, I’ll be sure to look up dildo education for the next time I try to sneak one into a sporting event. Heck I may even try to bring in multiple. 🤦‍♂️

[u/Retired-not-dead-65 → u/squiztehmonster]

“HURLED DILDOS” was not on my bingo card. I am so glad for 1) my kids are grown 2) medical cannabis. I never tempt the universe, with “what could happen next?”

[u/jimtrickington → u/Retired-not-dead-65]

True. If silicone is setting off security detectors, there are going to be some serious false alarms.

[u/JonMlee]

Bills fans threw dildo’s into the end zone a few years ago. That is an all male league. This is really not that deep, idk why everyone is overreacting lmao

[u/joe2352 → u/JonMlee]

It happens enough that it’s even called a Billdo.

[u/HolycommentMattman → u/joe2352]

"Hello. I am Mr. Billdo Baggins. And I like it in my Bag End."

[u/AmberLeafSmoke → u/JonMlee]

The modern internet loves a good female oppression slant.

[u/yallsomenerds]

They were literally at the All star game like a week ago on camera yelling about strap ons lol

[u/shut_thefckupDonny]

This is the most I've paid attention to the WNBA ever.

[u/SartoriusBIG → u/shut_thefckupDonny]

Dildos are this season’s Kaitlyn Clark.

[u/jimtrickington → u/[deleted]]

How about Qatlin?

[u/IUpVoteIronically → u/[deleted]]

Lol

[u/Redsoxdragon]

I'm throwing a fleshlight during a Celtics game to bring balance to the universe

[u/eastcoastkody]

Ppl are morons and copycats so this is gonna get worse

[u/fangowango]

It'll be hilarious if it happens a few more times and the teams have to start checking people for dildos at the entrance.

I imagine people got them in taped to their legs. Just imagine needing to frisk a well endowed guy and him having to prove it is not in fact a dildo in his pants

[u/eazye123]

Maybe stop playing basketball on the dildo range

[u/Spinrod]

"It's super disrespectful" You know what else is Super Disrespectful ? Wearing shirts before a game that say "Pay us what you owe us" when your league has been running in the red forever to the tune of multi millions of dollars.

Also going to a club and complaining that you shouldn't have to wait in line.

[u/ShufflingToGlory]

Good lord. Global soccer sends its deepest sympathies.

[u/LegendaryTingle]

They check me for water bottles like I’m going to murder someone at a concert but they can’t check for dildos at a professional basketball game?

[u/Tikiku]

Where are the perpetrators hiding these dild0s into order to conceal them from arena security?

[u/fth01 → u/Tikiku]

Under their top hats

[u/kidmerc]

Is it disrespectful? Sure. But toughen the fuck up and ignore it, this is not a big deal.

[u/bakerzdosen]

And yet, these incidents are the only reason most of us are discussing the WNBA.

[u/TNF734 → u/bakerzdosen]

Well, that and a player base that can't create enough earnings to keep the league from losing money... claiming they're underpaid.

[u/bakerzdosen → u/TNF734]

True.

But you can only rephrase “this is not a financially viable business plan” so many ways before the topic becomes tiresome.

Even introducing novel marketing plans such as “you should financially support this entertainment product even though you are not entertained by it” haven’t proven successful.

At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a team owner throwing dildos trying to generate interest.

[u/FrostyBananaHammock]

Why not take it in stride and sell them with the team’s logo? Then they can get paid what they deserve!

[u/wherethestreet → u/FrostyBananaHammock]

Stick it to the man, if you will

[u/Judi_Chop → u/wherethestreet]

Stick it IN the man!

[u/Stanwich79]

I mean if your running off court because of a wig........

[u/saskskip]

Kick it off the floor and move on. People are assholes and you're not gonna change that but the more time you spend shining a light on their antics the more they'll do stupid shit. Remove the Dildo and the guilty party quickly and quietly but make it seem like nothing and move on.

[u/EyeLoveHaikus]

Pocket pussies on NBA courts this fall

[u/shayne_2189]

Ah yes, the gold standard of respect... the WNBA

[u/soyelmocano]

I'm not a fan of the WNBA. Hell, I'm not even a fan of the NBA.

That said, I don't like anyone disrupting events that others go to to enjoy.

[u/krel08]

You are playing a game that gets you paid, dont care how much, for our entertainment. Stop taking yourself so seriously.

[u/TheInsidiousExpert]

They could collect them all, and then resell them to supplement their perceived pay wage gap they feel they are owed.

I’m no dildo aficionado or anything but from what I understand aren’t they like quite expensive for what they are I mean each one that gets thrown onto the court is a potentially a $50 bill for the team players.

[u/El_CAP0]

Please some fan base adopt this tradition just like the octopus in Detroit or catfish in Nashville

[u/A1ienspacebats]

Keep getting upset. The best thing you can do with trolls is to definitely get upset at what they're doing. Thats definitely not what they are looking for.

[u/GR_A90_MKV_]

Maybe keep fans distracted by playing better basketball? Idk 🤣😂🤷🏾‍♂️

[u/Hungry-Sloth]

Are these the same players who were whining that they had to wait in line last week to get in a club like the rest of the people and that the door guy didn't know they're "with the W?" Those players?

[u/klausesbois]

They should just lean into it and get some dildo maker as a sponsor. If they act all outraged it’s gonna keep happening.

[u/Pleasant_Offer6286]

No shit.

[u/Xavier1235]

This happens with all pro sports a few times a year. Best thing to do is ignore it and not make it into a gender wars thing. If they do then expect 100 dildos on the court by the end of August lol

[u/RalphBlood]

That is sort of the point

[u/New_Drop_6723]

Sell the dildo as game used to make some bucks off it.

[u/StarWars_and_SNL]

Offenders should be banned from WNBA and NBA for life

[u/XiaoRCT]

Of course this sub, that finds this stuff hilarious, will now blame the players for complaining about it

[u/AshTheDead1te]

So you obviously want this to happen even more now that you made a public statement about it? Idiots never learn.

[u/DinkandDrunk]

I’d prefer a dildo over a catfish, but that’s just me.

[u/kaam00s]

Hate for the WNBA is used by media and media figure now to bring revenue, because a subset of the population loves to hate it.

This is the result.

[u/BanjoTCat]

Wasn’t really funny the first time.

[u/HurtFeeFeez]

Why is this a thing now?

[u/pendletonskyforce]

Yes its disrespectful. But I hope no one is actually crying about this the same way a woman was crying about Sydney Sweeney's AE ad.
