In a move that has sparked both amusement and debate, the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) has temporarily banned fans from bringing handbags to games following a bizarre new trend — throwing giant dildos onto the court during live matches.
League officials confirmed that the unusual disruptions, which have occurred multiple times in recent weeks, prompted swift action to protect players, referees, and the integrity of the game. According to reports, the items were often smuggled into arenas inside oversized purses, only to be hurled onto the hardwood mid-play, causing stoppages and widespread distraction.
A WNBA spokesperson stated that while the ban on handbags is temporary, the league is reviewing additional security measures to prevent future incidents. “We want fans to enjoy the game, but safety and respect for the athletes come first,” the statement read.
The move has drawn mixed reactions online — with some praising the league for addressing the problem head-on, while others poked fun at the surreal nature of the situation.
For now, fans attending games are advised to leave their handbags at home, as the WNBA looks to restore order both on and off the court.
