    There should only be legal charges if a heavy object hits someone else, like in this case.

    For the rest, lifetime banning from all future major league sports games, basketball, football, baseball, etc. would probably be enough to end the stupid trend.

    If that doesn’t do it, then like someone else mentioned, blacklisted at Ticketmaster would be enough.

    I don’t think calling the cops is needed unless there’s physical abuse.

      If someone throws a dildo at a basketball game in New York in 2025, how are they going to be banned from a baseball game in California in 2035? Will they somehow be flagged when they try to buy a ticket online? Will they be stopped at the gate when some security guard recognizes them from being banned 10 years ago on the other side of the country? Do we need a new government agency to track professional sports dildo throwers? Or perhaps a Federal Dildo Throwing Registry?

      A massive expansion of government oversight is called for here. There should also be a comprehensive investigation into dildos, dongs, and dong-like devices, with a path to prohibition of any long cylindrically shaped items.

        National Association of Dildo Sports (the NADS) will have to provide rules, regulations, and strap on a structure for competition and records.

        You make a good point.

        I think the person you were replying to was also making good points.

        Maybe there’s a way to pull this off without being overly intrusive or heavy handed.

        If you get arrested or otherwise removed from a game, your ID should be scanned and uploaded to a vendor database that could be used league wide at ticket booths and concessions.

        Paying online with a credit card for your next game tickets? Perhaps a flag triggers because your name and zip code was flagged. Going to a game across the country? Perhaps you go buy a beer, and when the vendor scans your ID, the red flag comes up and you get escorted out of the place.

        Not having a beer, or something that requires getting ID’ed??? Perhaps you’ve found the vulnerability in my system but also, maybe you’re not drunk now, so less likely to throw dildos.

        It’s not perfect.

        Presumably WNBA has some VMS with facial recognition, they would register the person and flag them for alarm/ notify staff to card them.
