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.

Ejected fan probably said something like Don Imus said.

If that happened, that would be the headline.

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

The WNBA is just pretend basketball funded by the NBA to shut the lesbians up.

It's not working

I think thats why they hate CC. Not because she's white (yes a little bit) but mostly because she's a heterosexual.

Paige Bueckers is white. From UConn. She's really good although her playing style is different from CC.

But she's invited to the cookout.

It refers to a shot that doesn’t hit the rim, the backboard, or the net. It just hits “air”.

One does not mock a member of the master race.

It’s ridiculous to be thrown out of a game like that. Celebrities (of any type) should expect to be mocked now and then. If you can’t take it, don’t be a celebrity. Go be a plumber or a forest ranger instead.

But it’s not a 1A violation. The 1A applies while on public property, but not when you’re on someone else’s property. Then the owner can boot you for pretty much anything at all.

Even college baseball players get heckled. Yeah they’re getting paid now but not so long ago, they’d be extremely lucky to be on half scholarship.

The Mod’s deleted the thread Dynachrome started earlier this morning from Breightbart:

A prankster threw what turned out to be a green dildo onto the court during the matchup between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries on Tuesday night.

The game at the Gateway Center Arena came to a halt late in the fourth quarter over what was initially reported as a green object being thrown onto the court. It was later revealed to be a green dildo.

“The incident comes after a fan was ejected from the matchup between the Washington Mystics and Phoenix Mercury this past Sunday for mocking Kahleah Cooper after her wig fell off while playing.”

Oh, Okay. I didn’t know that, or if I did back in school, I’ve forgotten it over time.

There were several injuries from the fight to claim it.

I enjoy the WNBA which provides me with much amusement as the league constantly finds new, and sometimes unexpected, ways to be-clown itself.

Gorilla Glue has a great reputation, but that brand name might prove problematic with the over-sensitive.
