WNBA star Kahleah Copper’s wig falls off mid-game — and fan gets ejected for mocking her
NY Post ^ | 7/29/25 | Ryan Giancola

A wardrobe malfunction caused some unexpected chaos during a WNBA matchup between the Washington Mystics and Phoenix Mercury on Sunday.

Late in the third quarter in Washington, the Mercury were on offense when All-Star Kahleah Copper tried to get open by maneuvering around a screen set by her teammate. Copper quickly scooped up her locks and ran towards the locker room, and a time out was called on the floor.

Commentator Mehgan McPeak reacted to the incident by repeating two words. “Oh no,” McPeak reacted, “Oh no, Oh no, she’s going to head to the back. Oh no.” Mercury teammates then picked up on a fan mocking Copper about the situation. It led to the team asking the officials to notify arena security to have the fan ejected.

Lesbians and the fathers/mothers of players.

Same as the LPGA. My sister in law and brother in law went to a LPGA tournament. They were surprised that about half the people there were Lesbians. There were a lot of Suburus in the parking lot.

The WNBA needs more Sophie Cunningham and less of women with wigs.

One of the announcers acted as though somebody just ran over a puppy. The other one was trying her best to stifle laughter.

I wonder (not enough watch the non-trichological part of the game) if the rest of the audience sat in reverent silence after that merrymaker was ejected.

> Fair enough, then get the owner. Did that happen? <

The law recognizes representatives of the owner as having the power to trespass someone. For example, the manager of a restaurant can boot you without having to first contact the owner.

Ah, but that power is not absolute. A “protected class” member cannot be booted just because he’s a member of that class. For example, a restaurant cannot force a veteran out just because he’s a veteran. That would result in a huge federal lawsuit.

I was once at a boxing match which had two women, a black woman from DC and a fireplug of a woman from WVa, on the undercard. During the match, the black woman caught a vicious hook and a wig flew off her head in a high arc over the crowd like it was on a spring. The match stopped as the wig was tossed around in the audience as if it were beach ball, while its poor owner was practically in tears going from one corner to the next with her hands outstretched pleading to have it back.

I was just thinking along those lines. I wish I knew what the taunt was that got the fan thrown out, but I wonder if it was something like, “Maybe next time you should use Gorilla Glue!”

It’s a slippery slope. What’s next, not being able to boo at a sports event? Can’t heckle a comedian? I don’t really boo and don’t heckle but don’t care who does if they’re funny. I don’t like people being silenced even if it’s private property but allows the public in. They’re going to kill their golden geese if they keep it up.

Sorry, but that would have been hilarious.

Kind of reminds me of what happened when we got our first haircuts in Air Force BMT. Some guy made the mistake of showing up with a long pony tail. One of the barbers chopped it off an a TI hung it over the door. They had a good laugh over it.

Black women are huge into wigs? It’s a weird culture. I guess faking it till you make it works for some.

"I don’t really boo and don’t heckle but don’t care who does if they’re funny."

Some hecklers are really funny and should be comedians. When I used to go to the LA Kings game in the old Forum, we used to sit in the nosebleed section because there was a heckler there who was hilarious.

Mark Grace once told a story about about a heckler who yelled, "Hey Gracie! What's your last name!" Grace said, "Now that's just funny. How are you gonna get mad at something like that?"

Between the WNBA (or WNBS) and the Savannah Bananas baseball show, I’ll watch the bananas all day.

I saw the story about the green dildo. It’s funny but whoever did that shouldn’t have. Slip and fall hazard.

Somebody could have put an eye out.

Does anyone remember John Madden mocking the AZ Cardinals player whose dreadlocks got ripped out during a play? He actually ran the replay and drew all over it. It was hilarious.

You’re right about that. We see examples of that on college campuses. A conservative is invited by a student group to speak. The college denies the permit just because the speaker is conservative.

“A green dildo was tossed on the floor at another game.” I read that. I guess a fan wanted the ladies to showcase their basketball skills.

In college, we used to go to the Durham Bulls games before the movie made it so popular we could no longer get tickets. The hecklers were the best. There was a group of IT guys who worked at RTP sitting behind us one night and they were a rolling comedy troupe... the drunker they got, the more hilarious it got. I remember one of them yelling at the pitcher that he would let him date his sister and even the pitcher started laughing.
