A cryptocurrency meme coin group has taken responsibility for a series of disruptions at WNBA games in recent weeks involving neon green sex toys being thrown onto the court during live action. A representative of the group told USA Today that the acts have been part of a coordinated publicity stunt tied to the launch of their coin and were not an attack on women's sports.

The Athletic noted that members of the cryptocurrency group who participated in a livestream during one of the games where a dildo was thrown spent time mocking the WNBA and its attendees. And repeated requests from within the league to stop throwing the dildos have, so far, gone ignored.
