Sophie Cunningham pleads with WNBA fans to stop throwing sex toys: 'You're going to hurt one of us'

They say lightning never strikes twice, but, evidently, green sex toys do. On Friday, a WNBA game was paused for the second time in a week due to a sex toy being thrown on the court. Although Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham wasn’t playing in the aforementioned game on Friday, she weighed in on the issue.

“Stop throwing dildos on the court… you’re going to hurt one of us,” Cunningham wrote on X.

Thankfully, the object in question didn’t land nearly as close to the players on Friday as it did in the Golden State Valkyries-Atlanta Dream game on Tuesday. In that showdown, the phallic object landed in the middle of the action.

Understandably, the broadcast wasn’t sure how to handle the unusual incident. The camera operator zoomed in on the sex toy, causing the game’s commentators to have a shocked reaction.

“Oh my gosh, OK, inappropriate,” Morgan Ragan said. “Get ’em out of here, whoever it is.”

Police were reportedly dispatched within the stadium. However, it’s unclear if the person responsible for the unsightly moment was ever caught.

“I mean, first of all, it was super dangerous. And then when we found out what it was, I guess we just started laughing,” Valkyries forward Cecilia Zandalasini said with a smile after the game. “I’ve never seen anything like that. I’m just glad we worked through that situation. We stayed locked in, we stayed concentrated.”

Officials were more prepared for the situation on Friday evening, kicking the object off the court and having another employee remove it from view. Alas, the WNBA can’t afford for this scenario to become the norm.

Sophie Cunningham surely isn’t afraid to speak out on the issue, or many other important topics for that matter. Earlier this week, Cunningham made headlines after passionately defending her teammate, Caitlin Clark, from critics.

“It literally pisses me off when people are like, ‘She’s not the face of the league.’ What?” Cunningham said on her new podcast, Show Me Something. “There’s really good, well-known people in our league. I’m not discrediting them.

“We have a lot of badasses in our league. Hell yeah to that. I’m all for that. But when people try to argue that she’s not the face of our league or our league would be where we’re at without her, you’re dumb as s—. You’re literally dumb as f—… Now being on her team and seeing it, I’m like, ‘What are people doing?’ It’s just too much.”
