Lol, MNBA
Do any of the mnba players endorse the dildo throwing?
Don't know, don't care. I just think it would be funny.
There should only be legal charges if a heavy object hits someone else, like in this case.
For the rest, lifetime banning from all future major league sports games, basketball, football, baseball, etc. would probably be enough to end the stupid trend.
If that doesn't do it, then like someone else mentioned, blacklisted at Ticketmaster would be enough.
I don't think calling the cops is needed unless there's physical abuse.
Or just don’t be an idiot and throw objects in crowded public places?
If someone throws a dildo at a basketball game in New York in 2025, how are they going to be banned from a baseball game in California in 2035? Will they somehow be flagged when they try to buy a ticket online? Will they be stopped at the gate when some security guard recognizes them from being banned 10 years ago on the other side of the country? Do we need a new government agency to track professional sports dildo throwers? Or perhaps a Federal Dildo Throwing Registry?
A massive expansion of government oversight is called for here. There should also be a comprehensive investigation into dildos, dongs, and dong-like devices, with a path to prohibition of any long cylindrically shaped items.
National Association of Dildo Sports (the NADS) will have to provide rules, regulations, and strap on a structure for competition and records.
Obviously, there will be a ring toss event.
You make a good point.
I think the person you were replying to was also making good points.
Maybe there’s a way to pull this off without being overly intrusive or heavy handed.
If you get arrested or otherwise removed from a game, your ID should be scanned and uploaded to a vendor database that could be used league wide at ticket booths and concessions.
Paying online with a credit card for your next game tickets? Perhaps a flag triggers because your name and zip code was flagged. Going to a game across the country? Perhaps you go buy a beer, and when the vendor scans your ID, the red flag comes up and you get escorted out of the place.
Not having a beer, or something that requires getting ID’ed??? Perhaps you’ve found the vulnerability in my system but also, maybe you’re not drunk now, so less likely to throw dildos.
It’s not perfect.
Presumably WNBA has some VMS with facial recognition, they would register the person and flag them for alarm/ notify staff to card them.
Should have just hit her with a car, she ded, he free.
Dude looks the part. Big time loser energy.
When's the give send go campaign?
Charles Burgess, 32, from Dayton, Ohio, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly throwing an object at the Dallas Wings v New York Liberty game on 5 August, New York police said. The object hit a 12-year-old girl, and Burgess was charged with two counts of assault. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Burgess had an attorney.
A grown-ass man acting like a teenager doing a senior prank, presumably because he wanted to look cool in front of the other misogynist dipshits who think a woman's value is tied to their sexuality, is peak 2025.

The NBA should hand out lifetime bans for any ‘fans’ who pull this crap at WNBA games.
From all sports and events, not just the NBA/WNBA.

The report said the Georgia man told police “this was supposed to be a joke and the joke [was] supposed to go viral.”
It's nice to see many getting charged for doing this, and the articles about those charges being the thing going viral.
Idk if they stick or not but they should grill him with sexual harassment charges and make an example of him, this behavior needs to stop. No plea deal that drops those charges either.
That's definitely the wrong angle. This isn't a sex crime, the existence of dildos doesn't harm children, it just makes adults panic when they have to explain them an age appropriate way. You just have to tell them some people think they're funny, but a lot of people think it's rude. It's that easy
This guy threw a heavy object into a crowd that included children, and hit a child. That's child endangerment, battery, and probably a half dozen other charges. Someone could've died
This is a violent crime, not a sex crime. These are both serious things, but they must not be confused
They’re choosing dildos for a reason. It is sexual harassment of the players. It is intending to demean the players. It’s no coincidence this shit started after the Union negotiations - men in Facebook comment sections were absolutely vile at the idea these women wanted to be paid fairly.
Sure, against the players you can call it sexual harassment. It's sexist harassment at least. I'm not saying it isn't vile. But that's not the crime being prosecuted
Do you really want to lump throwing dildos in public along with raping children?
We're in the Epstein files era. We need a nice, clear, black and white when it comes to sex crimes, especially against children.
Harassment does not equal raping children. They are both bad things, and they are both sex crimes. You are straw manning - notice how at no point in my comment did I mention children, not suggest that sexual harassment is equivalent to crimes against children or rape.
Do you also think these actions have no effect on the children watching? What lesson does it teach them - “women’s sport is such a joke that people think it’s funny to throw dildos at players?” How do you think a young girl who plays basketball might feel?
I'm not straw manning you, I'm not saying you equate these things together. I'm pointing out that we live in a post rule-of-law society.
If you call sex crime over this, it will cheapen the concept of sex crimes. It doesn't matter if it's technically true or not, we're living in very dangerous times
The truth doesn't matter anymore, crisp clear messaging does. You're more likely to get dildos banned than the players protected at this point.
The fact that they're dildos is extra disrespectful, but it's not ok to throw anything in a stadium that could hurt someone
That has to be the message - they hurt a child, this is clearly way out of hand
You can also go after the league for not properly addressing an environment of sexual harassment... But that's a separate issue. The WNBA has been extremely exploitative, you can't fix that by going after the viewers
someone could have died.
How?
By getting hit by a dildo. That's a solid object (even if it's not hard), it doesn't take much force to kill someone if you hit them just right
So scale it up to hundreds of people throwing them from above, from behind? It's still not likely, but if you keep repeating this it'll happen eventually
