Dildo-throwing incidents at WNBA games have created a cycle of juvenile humor and escalation. An audience member threw a dildo at a game, leading to a repeat incident and subsequent posts from players like Sophie Cunningham urging for an end. A 23-year-old was arrested for the initial throw, claiming it was a joke meant to go viral. Betting markets, particularly Polymarket, have capitalized on this trend by allowing bets on future incidents, further complicating the dynamic of meme culture and public behavior.
This incident provided a juvenile, sexist joke that inspired copycats and escalated after gaining attention, leading to more incidents and an arrest linked to the first throw.
Polymarket has introduced 'Dildo Dailies,' allowing users to bet on whether dildos will be thrown onto WNBA courts, sparking conversations about the new role of betting markets.
