Betting against a dildo being thrown seems like a mug's game to me, it would be trivial to bet for a dildo throwing, then go to the game and throw a dildo.

People used to bet on honest contests, like vibrator races. What has happened to our cherished traditions?

They weren't charged with battery....

If there's a punishment for throwing the dildo, then it becomes a roundabout way to crowdfund dildo throwers.
Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 361d
I like that idea.

I agree, but please consider the Streisand Effect here…

I don't know if we should be throwing dildos at Barbara Streisand either though... 🤔

Maybe that’s what she wants. Don’t yuck her yums.

Well, I'm not the best judge of this sort of thing as I am a fucking degenerate.
Soulg@ani.social · 12 pts · 361d
I sure as fuck didn't know this was happening until this article
blargh513@sh.itjust.works · 27 pts · 361d
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?
Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio · 10 pts · 361d
You're allowed. But you'll have to come to terms with your hypocrisy on your own.
DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 361d
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.
Auli@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 360d
Ok pocket pussys it is then. I mean it's only fair to throw the correct sex toy.
DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 360d
Wait, which players do you want to throw which toys at?!? 🤣
saltesc@lemmy.world · 23 pts · 361d
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.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 361d
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 · 6 pts · 361d
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
PacMan@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 361d
Yeah when the Detroit Red Wings are in the playoff there is always a squid or two thrown on the ice as is tradition
Auli@lemmy.ca · 1 pts · 360d
Don't think I've seen weirder.
ExhaleSmile@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 361d

Rubber-band the dildos together in groups of 8 and you'll have cocktopi.
andros_rex@lemmy.world · 19 pts · 361d
This is in retaliation for these women demanding more revenue sharing.
It’s amazing, the same people who had melt downs about “protecting women’s sports” from trans women like Lia Thomas are the same people probably doing this shit. Certainly the same people making shitty comments on Facebook.
whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works · 16 pts · 361d
I didn't get the downvotes before rereading it and realised that it was the woman's NBA....
chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 10 pts · 361d
This does seem in poor taste by Polymarket, it looks like things to bet on are suggested by users but actually put on the site by the company itself. They should probably have a rule against bets that incentivize breaking the law this directly.
miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 8 pts · 361d
Let's throw spunk-filled condoms at NBA games.
Finding donors won't be an issue.
sundray@lemmus.org · 6 pts · 361d
I think they'd stop the game over something like that. And would be technically... foul.
QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 361d
That would be a biohazard. The dildos are a hate crime.

Y’know, I would never have thought of betting on it, but now that they told me I shouldn’t, all I wanna do is bet on it.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 361d
In the mean time the shareholders are all hoping people see these articles and go make bets on it. As it will only increase views.
Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world · -3 pts · 361d
Yet Americans still get offended when it’s suggested they wouldn’t vote for a woman.
United States of Bro.
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world · 42 pts · 361d
Kind of a silly point to make when they did vote for a woman in 2016.
Hillary got more votes.
Skullgrid@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 361d
yeah, but in only states where the majority of the people live, and not the majority of the rural areas with no-one; therefore those worths are literally worth less.
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 361d
Our election system being shitty doesn't change facts here. You have to outright ignore that Hillary got more votes in order to argue that the US is too misogynistic to vote for a woman.
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world · -6 pts · 361d
It is legit funny to me though.
SendMePhotos@lemmy.world · 46 pts · 361d
It's funny from the outside, but when you actually give it thought it's super fucked up and degrading.
Like the article said, one time was funny. Multiple times is harassment and a reminder of how women have historically been treated.
Godort@lemmy.ca · 40 pts · 361d
Yeah, there is too much baggage for it to be properly funny with the WNBA.
Now the regular NBA on the other hand, no misogynist baggage with fake dicks there. Much funnier place to throw one.
sundray@lemmus.org · 10 pts · 361d
Yeah, until some Ron Artest-type motherfucker charges the stands.
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 361d
Come on, that would still be funny from the outside. I put my vote for doing it at the NBA games.
Mac@mander.xyz · 6 pts · 361d
Then we can start betting on a player charging the stands!
Obv joke--i don't gamble.

Plausible deniability ;)
LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 361d
I mean when Artest, Rodman, Wallace, and such were around online betting would have been golden. $40 says Indiana punches a ref when they play the Pistons.
NFL: $30 says Owens gets fined. Burfict gets suspended and Pacman Jones gets into an argument with a coach for the other team on the field.
Revan343@lemmy.ca · 3 pts · 361d
So you're the bookie then?
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 361d
Only if they’re also throwing fleshlights at NBA games
Lumisal@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 361d
Equality wood be Dildos for the NBA games too.
And I'd probably actually watch it if there was a chance of Shaq getting smacked by a double ended.
Basketball is boring to me to watch. I get the fun in playing it but not in watching it.
Edit: I'm keeping that typo
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 361d
dildos stuffed in spring-loaded fleshlights so when they hit the court the dildos shoot out like spring snakes. only way to go
njm1314@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 361d
Son, a man can get a lot of good use out of a dildo.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 361d
Not me. I’ve checked.
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 361d

Yeah, it helps if you actually hit where you aimed. You'd think you'd practice before the game, right?

Imagine pinpoint dildo tossing accuracy
sundray@lemmus.org · 5 pts · 361d
There is a disappointing lack of good fundamentals when it comes to dildo-throwing, honestly.

Wobbly Sausage
IDK, the original article is sort of in this Schrödinger zone. On the one hand, yes, it's harassing and you shouldn't make dickhead jokes where the principle of the joke is basically "lol they're women." On the other hand, people can do funny things sometimes and be dickheads, it's part of living in a free society. Definitely trying to crack down on it and tell them they can't is just going to spark this universal human impulse to say "Okay I hit paydirt here let's double down because now it's really funny if it happens again."
FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world · -4 pts · 361d
There is.
francisfordpoopola@lemmy.world · -13 pts · 361d
Ahh the use of the word "creep" for men. It's logged with the purposefully demeaning "bitch" and "ho". How about the good ole use of "asshole"?
sundray@lemmus.org · 25 pts · 361d
I think they used creep because it implies a kind of sexualized misbehavior, whereas asshole is more of a generalized insult. Like someone who steals your lunch from the work fridge is an asshole, but might not be a creep -- unless they rub their cootch and put it back. Now that's creepy!
