News Summary
A cryptocurrency group named Green Dildo Coin is responsible for a series of incidents involving sex toys being thrown onto the court during WNBA games. The first incident occurred during a match between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries, and issues have since been reported in various cities including Chicago and Brooklyn. Player safety and fan maturity have been called into question, leading to WNBA officials implementing stricter rules and penalties for disruptive behaviors at games.
College Park, Georgia – A series of bizarre incidents involving sex toys thrown onto the court during WNBA games has been attributed to a cryptocurrency group known as Green Dildo Coin. As of August 9, 2025, there have been reports of similar occurrences at six games, beginning with a match on July 29 between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries. This controversial stunt has raised significant concerns about player safety and the appropriateness of such actions in sports.
The first incident involved a lime green sex toy being hurled onto the court, captured live during the game broadcast just before the fourth quarter ended. Delbert Carver was identified as the individual who threw the toy and was subsequently arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, public indecency, and criminal trespass four days later.
Chicago, Phoenix, and Brooklyn have also seen similar incidents, suggesting that these actions may be part of a coordinated effort by individuals tied to the cryptocurrency movement. In one notable episode during a game in Chicago, a referee kicked a second toy off the court, prompting players to voice their disapproval regarding the disrespectful nature of these antics.
Players and coaches within the WNBA have expressed serious concerns about the safety of athletes and the maturity of fans responsible for these disruptive actions. In response to the incidents, the WNBA issued a statement mandating that fans who intentionally throw objects onto the court will face ejection from the game, a minimum one-year ban from attendance, and potential legal repercussions.
In addition to Carver, Kaden Lopez was arrested for throwing a sex toy that struck a spectator and his young niece. Critics of these incidents have highlighted the dangerous behavior and its potential to distract players from the game, calling for improved security measures at athletic venues.
The launch of the Green Dildo Coin, which occurred on July 28, the day before the first toy-throwing incident, aims to promote ‘meme culture’ through humorous strife. Members of the group have characterized their actions as opportunistic, seizing attention amid the WNBA’s ongoing controversies. Speculations have arisen that this group may target other major sporting events, including games in Major League Baseball.
Real-time commentary on the occurrences has gained traction on social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), allowing fans and group supporters to discuss and disseminate information about the stunts rapidly. While the group aims for comic relief, many players criticize this behavior as harassment and a serious safety concern.
The WNBA players’ union and league officials are taking the subsequent incidents seriously and are conducting investigations, collaborating with local and federal authorities to address the problem effectively. Experts in sports culture have condemned the toy tosses as misogynistic, perpetuating a detrimental culture of disrespect toward women, fostering discussions about the intersection of sports, feminism, and advocacy for women’s rights and safety in athletic venues.
As the situation evolves, emphasis continues to be placed on addressing the implications of these events and reinforcing the importance of respect in sports settings.
