While WNBA<\/a> coaches and players plead<\/a> with fans to stop throwing fluorescent sex toys onto the court during games, conservative sports pundit Dan Dakich urged the women\u2019s basketball league to \u201cembrace\u201d the trend because \u201cit\u2019s funny\u201d and not at all \u201cdangerous.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dakich, who hosts a podcast for the Fox-owned right-wing sports outlet OutKick, appeared on Fox News Friday and was asked to weigh in on the growing number of incidents where green sex toys are being thrown<\/a> toward players during WNBA games.<\/p>\n

Fox News anchor Bill Hemmer, who said he was unaware of this story until recently due to his current assignment in the Middle East, teed up the question by airing a clip of Los Angeles Sparks coach Lynne Roberts blasting the ongoing stunt as \u201cridiculous\u201d and a danger to player safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s really stupid,\u201d Roberts said<\/a> after Tuesday night\u2019s win over the Indiana Fever. During that game, yet another sex toy was tossed on the court<\/a> and landed right by the feet of Fever star Sophie Cunningham.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, two things. One, it is ridiculous,\u201d Dakich reacted. \u201cBut you want attention, and as your league gets bigger, these are the kinds of things that are gonna happen. You go to an NFL game or a major league baseball game \u2013 occasionally, dudes are running onto the field, grabbing the football, running on naked. As your league expands, it expands to more people, which means more morons.\u201d<\/p>\n

While acknowledging that WNBA games are a \u201cgreat experience\u201d for kids and that he \u201chates for families to have to explain to a little girl what the hell was just thrown on the court,\u201d Dakich chuckled that he \u201cpersonally thinks it’s funny\u201d and he wishes the league \u201cwould embrace it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, he took issue with players and coaches expressing concern for personal safety over the rubber sex toys being thrown in their direction during gameplay.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not dangerous,\u201d the ex-coach insisted. \u201cI\u2019ve been on basketball courts since 1969 and had stuff thrown at me at Purdue and Ohio State and other places when I played at Indiana. Nothing about it is dangerous! So get that out of the way!\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cIt is funny. The betting markets are on it. People are having a good time with it. Sophie Cunningham, one of the stars of the Fever, is laughing about it! I wish they would laugh about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Indeed, Cunningham did recently joke about the incidents on her podcast, prompting Dakich\u2019s OutKick colleagues to praise her<\/a> for \u201cshowing the Libs how to properly handle something.\u201d At the same time, though, Cunningham had previously tweeted for fans to \u201cstop throwing d**** on the court\u2026you\u2019re going to hurt one of us,\u201d only for a sex toy to nearly hit her five days later.<\/p>\n

And while Cunningham poked fun at the situation on her podcast, she also expressed frustration about the pranks on that same episode and noted that it undermined the league\u2019s efforts to gain legitimacy with the American public.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bounce that thing had! I just know how things go viral now. If that thing came from the rafters or bows and just slapped me right in the face, that would be what I\u2019d be known for for life,\u201d she said. \u201cEveryone\u2019s trying to make sure the W is not a joke and it\u2019s taken seriously, and then that happens. I\u2019m like, \u2018How are we ever going to get taken seriously?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Multiple men have now been arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, public indecency and indecent exposure for throwing the sex toys on the court, which have now occurred in at least four games. It also appears that the incidents could be linked<\/a> to a cryptocurrency group\u2019s scheme to pump up the value of a meme coin.<\/p>\n

According to The Athletic<\/a>, Green D**** Coin was created on July 28 \u2013 a day before the first incident occurred at a WNBA game. The coin\u2019s value has now tripled in worth. During a live audiostream on X during the Sparks-Fever game on Tuesday night, members of the crypto group celebrated when Cunningham was nearly hit with the sex toy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is literally the best case scenario that we could possibly imagine,\u201d one member said, noting that Cunningham had urged fans to stop throwing d**** days earlier.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is empowering to every f****** crypto community to start thinking outside the box. Get creative and f\u2014ing do something that makes people actually laugh. Memecoins should make you laugh,\u201d another person declared. \u201cThe whole mission with this was focus on making an impact in crypto culture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, while the league is calling for the stunts to end<\/a> due to safety reasons and players and coaches are calling the pranks \u201cdemeaning and insulting,\u201d<\/a> not to mention misogynistic<\/a>, MAGA world continues to applaud the throwing of sex toys at female athletes.<\/p>\n
