Phoenix Mercury's Sophie Cunningham didn't hold back after a bizarre incident disrupted a WNBA game. A sex toy thrown onto the court by a fan forced play to halt, prompting the fiery athlete to call out the disrespectful behaviour.
The incident occurred during a tense matchup, leaving players and officials stunned. Cunningham took to social media afterwards, expressing her frustration at the lack of respect shown to professional athletes.
"This isn't funny," the WNBA star wrote. "We're out here giving our all, and this is what we deal with? Grow up."
The unexpected interruption highlights ongoing issues with fan conduct in professional sports. While most spectators bring energy and support, a small minority continue to cross the line with inappropriate antics.
Cunningham's response has sparked debate across the basketball community. Many players have voiced support for her stance, while others argue the incident was harmless fun.
The WNBA has yet to comment on whether they'll take action to prevent similar occurrences in future games.
