booted from premises and also banned (for years) by league from all WNBA functions. I don't know about DAs actually bringing charges. (or in fact what the charges would be)

No, it's not funny ... But, then too - sports fans are somewhat notorious for a variety of sh*tty behavior.

My own take (for as much time as I care to spend on such matters)
Is that it would probably be a mistake to focus attention. (which is clearly what the little children are vying for) With the most likely result being and increase in incidents and problems. That - and the fact that the clubs have already taken steps ...

tee vee cameras finding them and then posting videos with their faces all over the internet.

In fact, there should be a web page that's a Rogues' gallery of misogynist assholes.

I seriously hate those motherfuckers, and not just those who do woman-hating shit, but also those who support them, even by something as simple as approving laughter.

A man was arrested Saturday in College Park, Georgia, after he was accused of throwing a sex toy onto the court during the Atlanta Dream’s July 29 matchup with the Golden State Valkyries, according to a police report. The report said he threw another sex toy during the Dream’s Aug. 1 game against the Phoenix Mercury, but that instance did not seem to result in a delay of play.

He is charged with disorderly conduct, criminal trespassing, public indecency and indecent exposure. All four charges are misdemeanors in the state of Georgia, meaning that if he is convicted, the punishment for each can be a fine of up to $1,000 or jail time of up to 12 months. A misdemeanor for public indecency and indecent exposure may also require registration on the state’s sex offender list.

Another man in Phoenix was arrested after police say he threw a sex toy in the crowd at a Mercury game on Tuesday. Police say the 18-year-old pulled the sex toy from his sweater pocket and threw it toward seats in front of him, striking a spectator in the back.
The man later told police it was a prank that had been trending on social media and that he bought the toy a day earlier to take to the game. He was later tackled by a volunteer at the arena who had witnessed the incident and began following him as the man tried to leave the arena.

Police say the man was arrested on suspicion of assault, disorderly conduct and publicly displaying explicit sexual material.

This will get tossed by a judge.

Shame they torpedoed his freedom.
