Sex toy tossed on WNBA court…again

[BigJay]

This was a planted story trying to draw more “interest” in the league by any means possible.

What if it wasn’t thrown on the court? What if it fell out of one of the players?

Brilliant

Wow interesting take... "They did for the media attention."

Could be true but, a sex toy? I would expect to see more "fights" (i.e. refs not calling anything) to draw more attention. Might be a little more media friendly than a sex toy.... just a little.

But does a WNBA fight create the “sticky” content that will put this on all the news sites - probably not.

Keep in mind 97% of the general public has no clue of who is in the WNBA nor interest - so if a story about the WNBA hits their feeds - they scroll on by. Granted they went from 99.99% ignorance of the league prior to Caitlyn Clark’s arrival (on par with Major League Fishing and the Pro Poker Tour as far as name recognition) - but a story like this checks a lot boxes. As they say - sex sells and being a female league it allows them to both use sex to draw eyeballs and not promote their players in a sexual way (as 95% of them have zero in the way of sexual appeal to the average male).

13-65 year old Males spend the vast majority of $$ on sports and account for the highest valued eyeballs on sports ad spots. Want to get them to watch a sport - hunt their might be a sex toy tossed out in the middle of a game.

"Police in College Park, Georgia, told ESPN they arrested Delbert Carver on Saturday after he allegedly threw a sex toy onto the court during last Tuesday's Golden State Valkyries-Atlanta Dream game at Gateway Center Arena."

Now we have the face.

I wonder if they would be as stringent with applying the law with someone who threw a teddybear on the court?

It just doesn't seem fair.
