A preseason National Football League game between the Tennessee Titans and Minnesota Vikings at Nissan Stadium in Nashville was briefly interrupted Friday night when a spectator threw a green sex toy onto the field. Stadium staff removed the object and play quickly resumed. No injuries were reported, and neither club has indicated whether a suspect was identified. The prank mirrors at least five similar incidents at recent Women’s National Basketball Association games that have been linked to promoters of a cryptocurrency meme coin, USA Today Sports reported. A spokesperson for the group described the earlier stunts as a marketing ploy; one fan was arrested on assault charges after an object landed on a WNBA court earlier this month. Investigators have not confirmed whether the Nashville episode is connected. Throwing sex toys at sporting events has precedent in the NFL: Buffalo Bills fans tossed one onto the field during a 2016 contest against the New England Patriots. Friday’s incident came during the home debut of quarterback Cam Ward, this year’s No. 1 overall draft pick, adding an unwelcome sideshow to his first appearance before Titans fans.
