For almost two weeks, dildos fly again and again at WNBA games, two men have been arrested since then.
Leonie Fiebich has no understanding of the disturbance of WNBA games through sex toys. Most recently, dildo throws have been on the field several times in the North American professional basketball league. “It’s just a bit stupid, I think. What’s that?” Fiebich said on the sidelines of the game of her New York Liberty at the Los Angeles Sparks. In the hall in the California metropolis, in which the Los Angeles Lakers also play their home games, a dildo had flown to the field a week earlier.
However, Fiebich has no concern that the disorders harm the reputation of the league. “I don’t think. I believe that everyone involved deals with it quite well, it is just a short second, where this is eliminated from the field and then it goes on,” said the German international.
In the US states of Georgia and Arizona, two men were subsequently arrested to have thrown the dildos on the fields. They are accused of having an administrative behavior, unauthorized entering of foreign properties, public immorality and vigorous exposure. In the event of a conviction, money or prison terms are threatened. The WNBA sharply condemned the incidents in a statement and threatened with an indoor ban of at least one year.
