    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.

    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.

    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.

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

          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.

      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.

        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

    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.

    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”?

      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!

    Yet Americans still get offended when it’s suggested they wouldn’t vote for a woman.

        Hillary got more votes.

        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.

          Our election system bring 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.
