The WNBA continued full of lascivious disturbances this week, since fans in the sands throughout the league interrupted the game by throwing adult toys on the court.
For Minnesota Lynx Chief coach Cheryl Reeve, the “joke”, as some call it, is much more serious than a viral moment.
“This has been happening for centuries, the sexualization of women,” journalists told the journalists after the team’s practice.
“This is the latest version of that. And it is not fun. And it should not be the butt of jokes in any radio program or in print or in any comment.”

Reeve took a time to address the situation, without advancing, since at least six WNBA games have involved similar incidents.
“The sexualization of women is what is used to keep women depressed. And this is not different. This is only their last form, and we must write about that way. And these people who are doing this should be responsible, and we are not the target of the joke. They are the problem. And we need to take measures.”

Later that day and despite the replicas of Reeve, a lascivious object was thrown on the court during a Atlanta’s dream Game in Chicago. According to the reports, another sex toy was thrown in the third quarter, but the object did not reach the court and instead landed somewhere near the Bank of Dreams.

Obscene objects have been launched for at least six WNBA games during the last week and a half. The first happened during a game in Atlanta on July 29. It happened for the first time in Chicago on August 1 and Los Angeles on Tuesday, almost hitting Indiana fever Guard Sophie Cunningham, and again in Chicago on Thursday.
According to the reports, the objects were also thrown into games in New York and Phoenix on Tuesday, but they did not seem to reach the court. At least two people have been arrested in the riots, one in Georgia and another in Arizona.

An anonymous person connected to a cryptographic group has attributed the responsibility of at least some of the incidents, but the WNBA did not respond to the requests for comments on the validity of those statements.
The League has threatened legal prosecution and at least one year prohibition against any fan that tries similar stunts in the WNBA games.
