In the middle of a tense possession, a neon green sex toy suddenly sailed from the stands and landed on the court.<\/p>\n<p>The bizarre interruption occurred moments after Valkyries guard Tiffany Hayes had her shot blocked and teammate Veronica Burton recovered the ball. The projectile landed just feet from Burton, bouncing toward the backcourt. Officials allowed play to continue until a dead ball stopped the action.<\/p>\n<p>Seconds later, an out-of-bounds call revealed the mysterious object in plain sight. Broadcast cameras caught a police officer standing over it, joined by Dream part-owner Renee Montgomery. In a moment that will likely live on in WNBA meme history, the camera operator zoomed in\u2014apparently unaware of what the object was\u2014before abruptly cutting away.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/s3\/files\/inline-images\/Screenshot%202025-07-31%20at%2009.48.26.jpg?itok=Z9cebdsP\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Announcer Morgan Ragan narrated the sequence in real time. <strong>\u201cSomething flies on the court actually from the crowd,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd you can see the object\u2026 We\u2019re not exactly sure where it came from.\u201d <\/strong>When cameras revealed the truth, her reaction shifted: <strong>\u201cOh my gosh. OK. OK. Inappropriate. Get them out of here, whoever it is.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Security personnel shared a laugh before an officer, using a towel, removed the sex toy from the court. The game then resumed, with Golden State ultimately defeating Atlanta 77\u201375.<\/p>\n<p>Players later acknowledged the incident in the postgame press conference, noting both the danger and the absurdity of the moment. <strong>\u201cI mean, first of all, it was super dangerous. And then when we found out what it was, I guess we just started laughing,\u201d<\/strong> Valkyries forward Cecilia Zandalasini said.<strong> \u201cI\u2019ve never seen anything like that. I\u2019m just glad we worked through that situation. We stayed locked in, we stayed concentrated.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fans on social media quickly latched onto the moment, with one joking, <strong>\u201cThey\u2019re going to start checking fans at the door for dildos.\u201d <\/strong>Another quipped, \u201cOK, so first of all, let me be clear&#8230; I ain\u2019t picking that up. That will lay there till end of game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No official statement has been released by the WNBA, the Valkyries, or the Dream regarding the incident or the identity of the fan responsible.<\/p>\n<p>As one sports commentator put it: <em>If I had a nickel for every time a dildo has been thrown onto the field of play during a sports event, I\u2019d have two nickels. Which isn\u2019t a lot\u2014but it\u2019s remarkable that there\u2019s two.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Someone threw a green dildo on the court during a WNBA game tonight. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mFSESW6cfE\">pic.twitter.com\/mFSESW6cfE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Clay Travis (@ClayTravis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClayTravis\/status\/1950383302126567831?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 30, 2025<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <span class=\"field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden\"><a title=\"View user profile.\" href=\"https:\/\/cms.zerohedge.com\/users\/tyler-durden\" class=\"username\">Tyler Durden<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden\">Thu, 07\/31\/2025 &#8211; 15:00<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/markets\/wnba-forced-stop-game-after-lime-green-dildo-thrown-court\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/markets\/wnba-forced-stop-game-after-lime-green-dildo-thrown-court<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WNBA Forced To Stop Game After Lime Green Dildo Thrown On Court How soon until the &#8220;Pay that dildo what it&#8217;s worth!&#8221; t-shirts come out?&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1550168,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1550167","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1550167","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1550167"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1550167\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1550168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1550167"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1550167"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bugaluu.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1550167"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
