Police are hunting down the identity of a fan who threw a green sex toy onto the field at the Tennessee Titans’ preseason NFL game against the Minnesota Vikings.
The WNBA was recently embroiled in a scandal that saw multiple fans in multiple venues throw luminous dildos, with one even hitting Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham.
While the viral trend appears to have calmed down in the basketball world, the NFL is now dealing with the consequences after one was tossed on the field on Friday night.
The neon green sex toy landed near the 6-yard line with about five minutes left in the Titans’ win over the Minnesota Vikings.
The teams were on the field with the Titans on offense near midfield when the object hit the field close to the Tennessee sideline.
It was picked up and given to a security guard.

The Titans said they captured images of those responsible and reported the incident to the Metro Nashville Police Department.
The WNBA’s own sex toy scandal resulted in at least three arrests and some fans were banned for life from attending games.
Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve was among those strongly condemning the actions from the crowd, urging those responsible to be held accountable.
‘I just want to comment on… this has been going on for centuries. The sexualization of women, this is the latest version of that. It’s not funny,’ said Reeve.
She continued: ‘It should not be a butt of jokes on any radio show, or in print, or in any comments.

The scandal also affected the Dream-Valkyries WNBA game and spread across the league
‘The sexualization of women is what’s used to hold women down and this is no different.
‘This is just the latest story, and we should write about it in that way. These people that are doing this should be held accountable.
‘We’re not the butt of the joke. They’re the problem, and we need to take action.’
Hours after Reeve made her comments, yet another incident saw two sex toys thrown on a court at WinTrust Arena in Illinois for a game between the Chicago Sky and the Atlanta Dream.
