A group behind a series of sex toy-throwing incidents at WNBA games has surfaced, offering explanations for their behavior and revealing new information about recent arrests.
The group, which claims to have over 600 members, says their aim is not to harm but to “entertain through absurdity,” according to a report from Clay Travis, who spoke directly with one of the group’s coordinators via Zoom.
According to Travis, the man arrested in Atlanta on July 29, Delbert Carver, was not the person who threw the first green dildo onto the court during the Golden State Valkyries vs. Atlanta Dream game. The real individual behind that act is reportedly still at large.
The group believes Carver either sought attention or was misled by authorities into confessing to a crime he didn’t commit.
They said the WNBA was chosen as a target because the league is “being forced down our throats,” and throwing a dildo during those games would be “the funniest place” to execute their stunt.
The campaign escalated on August 5, when four separate WNBA venues saw attempts to throw green dildos: Phoenix, Los Angeles, New York City, and Seattle.
At the Phoenix Mercury game, 18-year-old Kaden Lopez was arrested after a thrown dildo struck a man and his 9-year-old niece. He is now facing charges including disorderly conduct, assault, and public display of explicit sexual material.
In Los Angeles, a green dildo was hurled during the Sparks vs. Fever game, landing on the court and nearly hitting player Sophie Cunningham, who had previously addressed the issue on social media. No arrests have been confirmed in that case.
In New York, the objects landed in the stands and were not recovered from the court. The outcome of the attempted disruption in Seattle remains unclear.
Travis reported that the group provided “proof of dildo” ahead of the latest round of incidents and intends to target other sporting events next.
Despite multiple arrests, the group says its members do not believe they’ve committed any crimes and plan to fight any charges brought against them. They maintain that their actions are a form of absurdist protest and entertainment, not criminal behavior.
As the number of occurrences continues to grow, security across WNBA venues is reportedly being reevaluated.
