The phenomenon of dildos being thrown onto the field or court in sports has been on the rise during the summer, with multiple instances occurring at WNBA games. There have been at least six confirmed cases, with some individuals arrested for disorderly conduct and public indecency.
The dildos were mainly green in color. The WNBA has condemned the acts, emphasizing player safety and respect for the game, and has implemented strict security policies, including ejection and bans for offenders.
The incidents have been linked to a social media-driven prank culture, with some perpetrators claiming they were copying others or trying to create viral moments.
Some reports suggest connections with cryptocurrency betting markets that allowed NFL prop bets on whether a sex toy would be thrown during games, adding a gaming and gambling angle to the phenomenon.
NFL Dildo Timeline
- October 30, 2016: The very first known dildo was thrown onto the NFL field during a Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots game. This marked the start of the infamous tradition. It happened during a serious play when Chris Hogan caught a pass near the goal line, and the dildo landed on the field. The fan who threw it was later banned for life from NFL stadiums.
- 2017: Another dildo, described as beige, was thrown onto the field again during a Bills-Patriots matchup, prompting the involvement of a hazmat team to remove it safely.
- 2018: On Monday Night Football, during a Bills-Patriots game, Buffalo fans threw three dildos onto the field, continuing the strange but well-known tradition despite previous warnings and bans.
- 2019 and onward: The dildo toss has become a recurring and notorious part of Bills home games against the Patriots, gaining national attention. The original throwers, Hub and Dillon Hayes, are well-known for starting this stunt and have faced lifetime bans.
- 2022 and beyond: The tradition continues with occasional dildo tosses at Bills games and has even expanded to other sports, such as a notable incident during a WNBA game involving the Atlanta Dream fans, signaling a spreading of the phenomenon.
