Stop Betting on Dildos Being Thrown at WNBA Games, You Fucking Creeps

Several dildos were thrown, a couple of arrests were made, and by Wednesday afternoon, one distasteful sports betting site claimed that betting on dildos had surpassed betting on who’d win the game.

    Betting against a dildo being thrown seems like a mug’s game to me, it would be trivial to bet for a dildo throwing, then go to the game and throw a dildo.

      If there’s a punishment for throwing the dildo, then it becomes a roundabout way to crowdfund dildo throwers.

      They throw weirder shit on the NHL ice. Usually sea creatures, but plenty of other animals and random obkects too.

      But, yes; someone could retaliate by throwing a fleshlight onto the court in an NBA game. People would probably find that fun though.

    Ahh the use of the word “creep” for men. It’s logged with the purposefully demeaning “bitch” and “ho”. How about the good ole use of “asshole”?

      I think they used creep because it implies a kind of sexualized misbehavior, whereas asshole is more of a generalized insult. Like someone who steals your lunch from the work fridge is an asshole, but might not be a creep – unless they rub their cootch and put it back. Now that’s creepy!

      It’s funny from the outside, but when you actually give it thought it’s super fucked up and degrading.

      Like the article said, one time was funny. Multiple times is harassment and a reminder of how women have historically been treated.

        Yeah, there is too much baggage for it to be properly funny with the WNBA.

        Now the regular NBA on the other hand, no misogynist baggage with fake dicks there. Much funnier place to throw one.

                NFL: $30 says Owens gets fined. Burfict gets suspended and Pacman Jones gets into an argument with a coach for the other team on the field.

        Equality wood be Dildos for the NBA games too.

        And I’d probably actually watch it if there was a chance of Shaq getting smacked by a double ended.

        Basketball is boring to me to watch. I get the fun in playing it but not in watching it.

        The nine-year-old girls getting slapped with them probably disagree.

          Yeah, it helps if you actually hit where you aimed. You’d think you’d practice before the game, right?

            There is a disappointing lack of good fundamentals when it comes to dildo-throwing, honestly.

        Wobbly Sausage

        IDK, the original article is sort of in this Schrödinger zone. On the one hand, yes, it’s harassing and you shouldn’t make dickhead jokes where the principle of the joke is basically “lol they’re women.” On the other hand, people can do funny things sometimes and be dickheads, it’s part of living in a free society. Definitely trying to crack down on it and tell them they can’t is just going to spark this universal human impulse to say “Okay I hit paydirt here let’s double down because now it’s really funny if it happens again.”
