CNN Lead-In Highlights Absurdity of the WNBA’s Ongoing On-Court Sex Toys Debacle – Twitchy

The WNBA continues to show it’s a joke. The players are demanding larger salaries despite the league never turning a profit, jealous players are attacking Caitlan Clark on the court (the only player who has ever drawn interest in the league), and now the league is overreacting to ‘fans’ throwing sex toys onto the court. 

This latest embarrassing absurdity has created what has got to be one of the most ridiculous lead-ins to a CNN story we have ever heard. (WATCH)

CNN anchor leads off segment: “The WNBA is cracking down on dildos being thrown onto the court during games.”

This is CNN. 😂

Poor James Earl Jones!

Commenters jokingly say the league should embrace the stunt and make the games interactive. Make the sex toy toss a contest!

WNBA is gonna crack down on dildos?

THEY SHOULD DOUBLE DOWN!

Minnesota, the home of Target, does, in fact, have a WNBA team.

How do they handle that one?

They should definitely lean into it.

— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) August 9, 2025

Can’t do that. Fans would wind up with a higher shooting percentage than most of the WNBA.

Now that’s funny!

Commenters were surprised to hear they missed a few phallic flings.

It’s really been 6 times already? 😅 Apparently I haven’t been paying attention.

Me neither. I thought it was two

Never in a million years would I have thought this would be a story.

We had no idea these incidents were more widespread. Did CNN report these other tosses or just sit on them?

The league has never heard of the Streisand Effect. By bringing so much attention to the first incident and complaining incessantly about it, they’ve only encouraged more to try their hand at it.

The general absurdity of the entire news cycle is really something else

— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) August 9, 2025

It wouldn’t be if they just would’ve shut up about the first one. nobody watches their games nobody would’ve known.

— Harley Smith (@HarleySmit97410) August 9, 2025

It’s bringing attention to the league, but not the good kind. At least there’s something else to laugh at besides the airballs and missed layups.
