WNBA Chaos: Sophie Cunningham Becomes Unlikely Victim in League’s Bizarre D*ldo-Throwing Epidemic

A League Under Siege: The Rise of a Shocking Trend
It was supposed to be another night of fast breaks and buzzer-beaters at the Indiana Fever vs. Los Angeles Sparks game. Instead, chaos stole the spotlight as Sophie Cunningham, the fiery Fever guard, found herself at the center of the WNBA’s strangest—and most embarrassing—trend yet: the d*ldo-throwing epidemic.

From Advocate to Victim: Sophie’s Viral Warning Backfires
Just days earlier, Sophie Cunningham had gone viral for being one of the first WNBA players to speak out against the bizarre new “tradition.” In a tweet that quickly made the rounds, she pleaded with fans: “Stop throwing d*ldos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us.” It was a warning delivered with her trademark mix of humor and concern—a plea for sanity in an increasingly wild WNBA season.

But on Tuesday night, Sophie’s words became an eerie prophecy. With just under two minutes left in the second quarter, a flying s3x toy arced through the air, landing with a thud near Cunningham. In a split-second moment that’s already gone viral, Las Vegas Aces star Kelsey Plum coolly kicked the object off the court and back into the stands, as if she were taking a corner kick in the World Cup.

A Pattern Emerges: The Third Incident in Weeks
This wasn’t a one-off. Just a week earlier, a fan was arrested after launching a similar object onto the court during a Dream game in Atlanta. What started as a shocking prank now has all the makings of a worrying pattern—one that’s raising serious questions about security and fan behavior in the WNBA.

Social Media Explodes: Cunningham’s Cryptic Response
Hours after the game, Cunningham broke her silence with a tweet that was both self-aware and laced with irony: “this did NOT age well.” She was, of course, referencing her own warning from just days before. The internet loved it. Fans flooded her mentions with jokes, memes, and messages of support, even as many called for the league to take action.

Expert Opinions: Is This the New Malice at the Palace?
Sports psychologist Dr. Elaine Foster weighed in: “These incidents, while bizarre, highlight a growing disconnect between fans and athletes. When the line between entertainment and respect is crossed, it’s not just safety at risk—it’s the integrity of the game.”
Veteran WNBA analyst Mike Reynolds added, “The league needs to get ahead of this. It’s funny until someone gets hurt. Security must be tightened, and consequences enforced.”

A League at a Crossroads: What Happens Now?
As the WNBA enjoys unprecedented attention and sold-out crowds, it’s clear that the league is facing a new kind of challenge—one that can’t be solved with a three-pointer or a highlight reel. Will officials crack down before things spiral further? Or will this bizarre saga become an unfortunate footnote in a season otherwise defined by record-breaking talent?

One Thing Is Certain: Sophie Cunningham’s Story Is Far From Over
Whether she’s draining threes or dodging flying objects, Cunningham’s resilience and sense of humor have made her a fan favorite—and a symbol of the WNBA’s wild, unpredictable ride. And as this story continues to unfold, one thing is for sure: nobody will be looking away.

Sophie Cunningham Has To Watch Her Back Now


There are strange sports traditions around the world, but nothing comes close to what the WNBA is experiencing.

For the third time this year, the now-infamous lime green s3x t0y made yet another unwelcome appearance on the court—this time during the Indiana Fever’s matchup against the Los Angeles Sparks on Wednesday.

The first two times, Sophie Cunningham spoke out.

In this instance, Cunningham was the unfortunate recipient when, late in the second quarter, after Sparks star Kelsey Plum made a free throw, the infamous s3x t0y appeared to bounce off her lower area.

Unfortunately, she might have to deal with this for the remainder of the season.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
