This is the story of Green Dildo Coin (DILDO).
Delbert Carver, 23, was arrested after throwing a sex object at a July 29 WNBA game in Atlanta. Charged with disorderly conduct, public indecency/indecent exposure and criminal trespass; Carver told police, “This was supposed to be a joke, and this joke (was) supposed to go viral,” according to the arrest affidavit. Since then at least half a dozen similar incidents have happened in WNBA arenas. WNBA spokespeople have been dumbfounded over this, often refusing to comment when pressed by media. This ducking of uncomfortable questions makes Trump’s continual lying on the Jeffery Epstein files look strong by comparison.
Los Angeles Sparks coach Lynee Roberts after Aug. 5 incident: “It’s ridiculous. It’s dumb. It’s stupid. It’s also dangerous, and you know, player safety is No. 1, respecting the game, all those things.”
“I would have picked that thing up and thrown it right back at them,” former Phoenix Mercury star Diana Taurasi.
If the sexist & hateful feminists who monopolize WNBA management can’t find a spokesperson who can understand what’s going on & represent the players here, then they all should be fired and replaced with real women such as those quoted above. Diana Taurasi is a strong woman who understands you can’t allow ANY disrespect on this, because once you do (by not having a serious & immediate WNBA spokesperson response), the league appears weak & becomes the butt of a sick joke. That devalues the league, and if the WNBA can’t handle this appropriately, then they deserve to be devalued.
I’ve never seen Diana Taurasi play, but I can tell you she’s a great player because she’s thought about this situation & understands exactly who to pass to. Basketball is a trash-talking game, which means you have to be able to handle it & dish it back out, otherwise you aren’t a real baller and you won’t get any respect. Players get this, while bureaucrats don’t.
Basketball purist thoughts
Was Diana Taurasi disrespected at the 2024 Paris Olympics by her coaching staff? It felt that way watching, even though I’m not a WNBA fan. I don’t follow the players because I don’t watch the games. I also don’t watch men’s college basketball with much enthusiasm anymore, as it’s a qualitatively inferior game when compared to the 1980’s & early 1990’s when it was at its best. The NBA is the best basketball organization by far, and I’m a purist, so as a sports fan I don’t really watch the WNBA because any men’s college team would beat any WNBA champion in any year. It’s my right as a sensible sports fan to not be interested in the WNBA for these reasons.
The following is a fact of sports everyone needs to accept: men are better because they are bigger & stronger due to natural testosterone. That’s basic biology and it isn’t going to change. But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for women’s sports to be popular & respected. If it inspires young girls (& boys) to be healthy & active, then I’m all for it. If the WNBA gives good paying jobs that provide quality entertainment for their audience, then that should be encouraged in every way.
I notice they’re on everywhere these days: ESPN, ABC, CBS & ION. You can’t miss the WNBA, it’s on every weekend (multiple times) on network TV through the spring & summer. I’m a sports reporter so now I’ve had to start watching a few WNBA games because of how this sex toy campaign has gotten so out of control. That’s the real story here.
Barry Bremen was a salesman [!] who knew he didn’t have a life, so he became the great impostor. Those were different times and it was considered funny at first, but then he started getting arrested and it wasn’t so funny anymore. Barry Bremen died in middle age of cancer, so really his antics became defined as sad & sick cries for attention. It’s wrong because it disrespects the game, the athletes, coaches, officials, and everyone in the crowd who paid for a ticket. To continually insert oneself where you don’t belong is selfish & childish. Crypto enthusiasts & online gamblers (nurtured by ESPN) have taken the example of Barry Bremen to the extreme in this sex toy campaign.
The biggest problem the WNBA has had during this string of events is the lack of statements from their spokespeople, who are paid to represent the players in times of crisis, which this has become. Over & over I read, “A WNBA spokesperson declined to answer questions about…” The WNBA players have been requesting updates from the league, and getting nothing. Players have now been told by league officials they are “investigating claims that individuals were being incentivized” to carry sex toy stunts. All vague talk with no answers, explanations, or details to satisfy those asking the questions.
To get answers, we had to go to Dave Mason, brand manager of Panama-based online sportsbook BetOnline, who told ESPN that when the second sex toy was also green, he started looking for who could be orchestrating the stunts. Mason put a betting line on where the next toy would be thrown and what color it would be, then tracked his winning bettors and quickly found the crypto coin group Green Dildo Coin. Dave Mason said in an email to ESPN, “It’s part of the game when offering markets like these. We can either choose to offer them or not. We know people will have inside info and might bet.” To figure it out you have to follow the money, and notice it was an independent gambling site that discovered this, not ESPN or USA Today.
Green Dildo Coin (DILDO) is highly active in the Telegram community (& also X), and apparently they are behind this memcoin/sex toy stunt campaign. Green Dildo Coin is a Libertarian cyberpunk group, meaning they are young crypto Kool-Aid drinkers, responding to what they call a “toxic environment” in the current crypto world. This is a typical Kool-Aid drinker capitalist reaction to Trump taking over crypto & shutting them out. Green Dildo Coin’s deity is surely Elon Musk.
What I’m describing is the kind of leadership & understanding that is necessary to stop this nonsense, instead of relying on more police, security, media hysterics, etc. This is what spokespeople are paid for, so if officials all reply “no comment,” then the players will be asked about this when they shouldn’t have to answer to it. They are paid to play, not answer questions about how the league isn’t handling this issue and letting it get out of hand, and not figuring it out, etc.
Clearly there are too few adults in the WNBA front office, who don’t know how to handle this like a man. It’s young men (& a few inside girls who also want to get rich) that are doing this, so it therefore needs to be handled in a man-fighting way. Bitchiness & cat-fighting won’t cut it here for the WNBA, and it’s not unhealthy to admit this truth. It’s past the point of no return, where the WNBA players have to get together and put a stop to this the next time it happens, or they will continue to be disrespected & devalued. That’s a capitalist law.
Another law of capitalism is capitalists only care about money. So the players looking towards ownership & management for guidance on this is futile. Futility would be a good word to describe the WNBA spokesperson response since July 29, when the first sex toy in this memecoin campaign was tossed in a WNBA arena. Any WNBA player would be justified if she went into the stands and kicked that person’s ass. Fans would cheer that. As wrong as that would be (see the Malice in the Palace incident), it’s better than waiting for a WNBA spokesperson to make some lame politicized statement long after the fact.
This intersectionality of sports financialization with the political weaponization of sex, in the absence of trigger warnings, has made certain WNBA representatives very uncomfortable, and thus they have no comment. So they look to others to handle it for them, which no one respects.
An honest DEI spirit would be to have a few good men around (because diverse points-of-view & experiences are valuable) when shit like this hits the fan. But when #MeToo campaign feminists insist on running out all the good men because they are too threatening, this leaves WNBA players wide open to these kind of punk attacks, which are easy for any real man to handle, but can become troublesome because players are being misrepresented by enabled hysterical women who never became adults.
In short, there are too many sexist bureaucrats in management and not enough former players, which is a BIG problem no one in the WNBA wants to admit. This is also true in the NFL, NBA & MLB. Professional athletes need smart & successful former players in management to keep these union lawyers in line, otherwise these attorneys & PR flak will play back-room politics every time. This is where league officials are collaborating with ownership, instead of representing the interests of the rank-and-file. It’s not a sex issue as much as it is a class issue, but that isn’t allowed to be acknowledged in the capitalist media– another immutable law.
Legal fees are about to eat up all the betting & crypto profits of Green Dildo Coin, yet another capitalist law. Libertarians aren’t too well-read on history, politics, or anything else. They just want to make money fast and not have to pay any taxes. In a word they are lazy, impatient half-baked parasites. In essence those qualities define crypto and also modern-day capitalism.
Final thoughts
No one has been more of a crypto skeptic than Ric Size, as industry leaders hate me (bigtime) for it. When I posted on July 20, concerning the WNBA CBA situation after their All-Star weekend (linked above), I began with the statement that the WNBA was now a financial speculative bubble in terms of exploding franchise values, and later compared it to crypto in profitability. As a skeptic I am privy to no inside information, so I clearly had no official knowledge of this ‘crypto green dildo campaign,’ yet somehow I foreshadowed it and am not at all surprised by it.
I can explain all this emotional stuff (sex, sports, money) rationally in a media environment that is all hype, which is no mean feat. Any intelligent dissent has been censored, blacklisted & slandered for over a decade now– on all corporate platforms & political institutions. If you know sports as I do, then you earn some readership credibility over time. first with the athletes, and then with their leading fans who are online 24/7. I’m a players booster here because I’m ALWAYS a booster for the workers who create the economic value. That’s what a socialist is and it’s what scares Trump & his gang of fascists, first into incomprehensible fury and then into violent reactionary assaults on the working class.
All Trump can do is lie at this point, while the Democrats still accept it as good coin because he’s President, when really Trump is a sociopathic conman now hawking memecoins by pumping the Ponzi scheme known as bitcoin. Donald J Trump should have been thrown in jail for life with no parole long, long ago. He has committed heinous crimes against humanity and his accomplices are on both sides of the aisle.
Trump is the NYC underworld financial mob boss who became a realty TV star and then the fascist strongman politically demanded by the US ruling class, with the Democrats being his Vichy collaborators to recall a WWII analogy for Nazi sympathizers in France. The most serious lesson of WWII was that we can’t tolerate fascism in any form because it is inherently hostile to peaceful democracy & human rights. It never cuts off its own claws and can only be defeated through organized class-conscience struggle. That’s a Trotskyist– the most serious, respected & (by the bourgeoisie) politically-feared Marxists who are represented by the Fourth International, SEP branches worldwide, and the WSWS their daily publishing organ. That’s where to go for political clarity & leadership on a daily basis.
This crypto dildo throwing campaign has gotten so insane for WNBA players because everything is allowed to be irrational under Trump– tariffs, support for Israel & Ukraine, Jeffery Epstein, ICE Gestapo, public health policy, global warming, etc. These are the most dangerous criminals in the world, and it’s no secret, yet they keep presenting themselves as legitimate and are entirely propped-up by a corrupt corporate media which can now certainly be defined as entirely state propaganda. This is why people call it “fake news” and Trump now owns it with his political power over the media, courts, Congress, higher education, the police, military & intelligence, so this lewd behavior will be tolerated/exploited to its political limits by the anointed fuhrer. Only the political defeat of Trumpism (and all its state-corporate collaborators!) will stop this exploitative pornography.
You can no longer separate sports & politics, at all, there’s too much money at stake these days. Sports franchises are now expected to double in value overnight, yet player pay hasn’t increased along the same scale. It’s this nagging feeling working people EVERYWHERE have that tells WNBA players they are being cheated by capitalism, as salaries aren’t rising as fast as crypto profits for politically enabled pump & dump dildo memecoin campaigns. Like all the WNBA players, I’m over it.
