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.

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

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
