Over the past two weeks, the sports world has gotten acquainted with a staple in other industries: sex toys.
Five separate incidents have occurred during WNBA games, where a green neon sex toy was thrown – with three landing on the court during live game action. Two people have been arrested, including an 18-year-old who threw the object during the Phoenix Mercury's game against the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday. The sex toy allegedly hit a man, who was watching the game with his 9-year-old niece.
