Charles Burgess, 32, from Dayton, Ohio, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly throwing an object at the Dallas Wings v New York Liberty game on 5 August, New York police said. The object hit a 12-year-old girl, and Burgess was charged with two counts of assault. It wasn’t immediately clear whether Burgess had an attorney.
A grown-ass man acting like a teenager doing a senior prank, presumably because he wanted to look cool in front of the other misogynist dipshits who think a woman’s value is tied to his sexuality, is peak 2025.
Apparently the people who started this whole thing were doing it as a publicity stunt promoting a crypto coin. So if it wasn’t already bad enough…
Media reports on the disturbances have tied the toy-throwings to a group involved in a related cryptocurrency meme coin.
There was a time when this would have surprised me. Not anymore
Neat, sounds to me like this was a crime for the benefit of a gang and everyone even tangentially involved should have all their assets seized and get imprisoned for things members of their group did whether they were directly involved or not
Yes, a crypto group has claimed credit for the fad trying to promote a meme coin. Talk about absolute dirt bags.
Seems like a somewhat valid use for RICO, moreso that what it’s usually used for…

Idiot.
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.
Or just don’t be an idiot and throw objects in crowded public places?
They should take it as a huge honor since the last dildo throwing fad was directed at Tom Brady, arguably the greatest athlete to dominate their sport in the history of sports. These dildos must be paying homage to the WNBA greats. /s
Dude looks the part. Big time loser energy.
When’s the give send go campaign?
