18-year-old arrested and accused of throwing sex toy into crowd at Phoenix Mercury game

An Arizona teenager was arrested after he threw a sex toy into the crowd at a Phoenix Mercury game, police said, the fourth time such a "stupid prank" has unfolded at a WNBA contest in the past two weeks.

Kaden Lopez, 18, was booked on suspicion of disorderly conduct, assault and public display of explicit sexual material after he threw a green sex toy toward seats in front of him at PHX Arena during Tuesday's game against the Connecticut Sun, court documents alleged.

The object hit a man and his 9-year-old niece, police said. The incident was caught on video that Maricopa County filings said showed Lopez removing the object from his sweater, throwing it and then leaving the area.

A witness tackled him and held him on the ground until police arrived, the documents said.

Donald Trump Jr posts meme showing his father throwing sex toy onto WNBA court

Donald Trump Jr has taken to Instagram to post a meme of his father, President Donald Trump, throwing a green dildo from the White House roof.

“Posted without further comment,” the president’s eldest son wrote in the caption accompanying the photoshopped image, which brings together Trump’s unexpected appearance on the roof overlooking his new patio makeover of the Rose Garden on Tuesday with six female basketball players shooting hoops.

Don Jr’s meme appeared to be referencing an incident last week when a sex toy was flung onto the court in the middle of a WNBA game between the Golden State Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream.

and preserving safe spaces for women when we're talking about trans kids playing intramural sports possibly think it is funny to throw sex toys at women who just want a chance to compete in peace? Think of the children! I mean, not the child who was almost hit by the sex toy, but you know, the other ones.

4. If you literally hit a child with a s** toy you should absolutely be charged with lewd conduct on a child

You really can't believe the way the so-called "manosphere" is making fun of this shit, as if hitting a nine-year old girl with a s** toy is no big deal. It's insane.

Who on the face of this earth thinks throwing sex toys at anybody, let alone sports teams, is funny or even appropriate? How big of an asshole does one have to be to even think of such a thing, let alone do it? How devoid of any kind of human decency.

Besides being incredibly stupid, it's also dangerous, both to the spectators and the athletes. It could cause serious injury.

Every time I think that people can't possibly go any lower than they already have, some ignoramus comes along and proves me wrong.

And don't get me started on Junior, although nothing he does or says surprises me anymore. I just shake my head and consider the source. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
