If this is so fun to do, try it at an NBA game, or better yet, an NHL game.

Am I allowed to find it funny at an NFL game but in poor taste at a WNBA game?

[–] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I wanted to say you are not but I can't decide whether it is misogyny for thinking women can't handle thrown dildos just as well as men do, or if it is homophobic to think it is different because dildos are not for men.

So I guess you are allowed to finds whatever you want funny.

Ok pocket pussys it is then. I mean it's only fair to throw the correct sex toy.

[–] DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

Wait, which players do you want to throw which toys at?!? 🤣

You're allowed. But you'll have to come to terms with your hypocrisy on your own.

They throw weirder shit on the NHL ice. Usually sea creatures, but plenty of other animals and random obkects too.

But, yes; someone could retaliate by throwing a fleshlight onto the court in an NBA game. People would probably find that fun though.

[–] Auli@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Don't think I've seen weirder.

we had a local baseball team that would have a salmon toss every 6th inning. i think they were going to have the best salmon tossers come back during the playoffs or something idunno

[–] Goblussy@lemmy.world 4 points 7 hours ago

lol “every 6th inning” makes me think of it as an interval, like if the game goes deep into extras you could have another salmon toss in the 12th. And if it goes really deep another in the 18th. Or maybe it’s continuous through games, so it’s in the 3rd and 9th innings the next game

Yeah when the Detroit Red Wings are in the playoff there is always a squid or two thrown on the ice as is tradition

Rubber-band the dildos together in groups of 8 and you'll have cocktopi.
