Sky-High Luxury Meets Court Chaos: A Night with the Chicago Sky (Plus, WTF Is Going On with Sex Toys?)

by LaDonna Raeh

Last night, I was living my best life—seated in Section 109 baby! Crowned like royalty, feasting on eats courtesy of Midway Broadcasting. And guess what? I ran into the marvelous Bamani Obadele from The Acclivus Hour on WVON—a soulful nod to local legends who keep Chicago’s community vibe real. Big love to Midway for hooking us up with primo seats and treats that made me feel like Beyoncé at halftime.

But hold up—this wasn’t just any WNBA night. Nope, we’re sliding down the rabbit hole of “what in the name of sportsmanship is happening?!” territory. Because, you know, not only did I get royal treatment, I also got front-row seats to a bizarre and, let’s be real, highly inappropriate political act from the stands: sex toys… tossed onto the court. Yeah, you read that right.

This latest stunt? A bright purple dildo flew down in the final seconds of the Atlanta Dream vs. Sky game—like some twisted stadium magic trick—forcing the refs to pause play as everyone collectively blinked in confusion. But wait, this is not isolated. It’s a full-blown recurring epidemic:

First, on July 29 during the Valkyries vs. Dream game in Atlanta.
Then again on August 1 at Wintrust in Chicago (yup, that was our game), when a neon green dildo halted the third quarter.
Another popped up just a few days later in LA, nearly grazing Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham.

Players, understandably, are not amused. Sky center Elizabeth Williams called it “super disrespectful” and demanded the throwers grow up. Indiana’s Cunningham—who made a heartfelt plea on X—has been receiving pregame texts from her mom warning of flying dildos. (I mean, if 2025 has taught us anything, it’s that even moms gotta adjust.)

So, who in their right mind is behind this, and why?

The Plot Thickens: Meme Culture Meets Crypto Marketing

Turns out a crypto meme group—behind the poorly named “Green Dildo Coin”—apparently orchestrated these stunts to go viral and pump up their coin’s value. Meanwhile, others point to a darker cultural trend—rooted in absurdist, meaningless gestures that elevate trolling over substance, a symptom of our viral-chasing era.

In response, the WNBA has gotten serious—promising ejections, minimum one-year bans, legal action against offenders, stricter bag policies, and teaming up with local law enforcement.

Cheryl Reeve (you know, the WNBA brainiac and coach extraordinaire) even called for action to stop this nonsense dead in its tracks.

The Takeaway—Straight Talk from LaDonna Raeh:

One minute I’m floating on food and fabulousness in Section 109, the next I’m watching grown adults perform cringe‑tier street theater at women athletes. It’s a clash of comfort and chaos, luxury and lunacy.

To the tossers: y’all need to get a life—this isn’t edgy, it’s now predictable. And if you’re here for the chaos, maybe redirect that energy into something that actually counts. Meanwhile, Midway Broadcasting, Pierre & Melody Spann Cooper…thank you for keeping it classy. But let’s all hope stadiums start screening better and the WNBA court stays pure, powerful, and toy-free. There is a possibility that the toys were being used and smuggled in people’s private parts.

After all, we came for basketball greatness—not to dodge flying adult props. LaDonna Raeh out.
