A cryptocurrency meme coin group has taken responsibility for a series of disruptions at WNBA games in recent weeks involving neon green sex toys being thrown onto the court during live action. A representative of the group told USA Today that the acts have been part of a coordinated publicity stunt tied to the launch of their coin and were not an attack on women's sports.

The incidents have drawn outrage from players as well as fans of a league already subject to continuous online racist and misogynist attacks.

A group of crypto enthusiasts has claimed responsibility for the string of dildo-throwing incidents that have rocked the WNBA since last week.
