Dildo Thrown on Field Halts Titans vs. Vikings Game

The NFL is no stranger to unusual fan behavior, but the latest incident during the Tennessee Titans vs. Minnesota Vikings preseason game on Friday, August 22nd, takes the cake. In what’s being dubbed “Dildo-gate,” a green sex toy was thrown onto the field, causing a bizarre interruption just minutes before the game’s conclusion.

An Unwelcome Field Intruder

The strange event occurred at Nissan Stadium in Nashville. As the Titans were on their way to a 23-13 victory, and with cheerleaders in the middle of a performance, a green dildo landed on the playing field. A stadium staff member quickly removed the object, and the game resumed, but the incident quickly made its way to social media, drawing widespread criticism from fans.

This isn’t the first time a sex toy has disrupted a professional sports game this summer. The WNBA experienced similar incidents earlier in August. On August 5th, a Dallas Wings game against the New York Liberty was interrupted when a dildo was thrown into the stands, hitting an underage girl. Later that same day, an 18-year-old was arrested for tossing one during a Phoenix Mercury and Connecticut Sun matchup.

Claims of Responsibility and Ongoing Investigations

The Metro Nashville Police Department was reportedly notified about the incident at the Titans vs. Vikings game, though no arrests have been made at this time. Interestingly, a cryptocurrency enthusiast known as “Lt. Daldo Raine” has claimed responsibility for the WNBA incidents, stating they were part of a publicity stunt for a digital coin. It remains unclear if this individual is also responsible for the NFL dildo throw.
