The sex toy nuisances are back, and this time they struck at an NFL game.
A bright green sex toy was thrown onto the field at Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland as the Browns opened up their season against the Bengals on Sunday.
The sex toy was flung onto the field in the second quarter, and The Athletic reported that it appeared to have been thrown from the section inside the stadium dubbed the Dawg Pound — which is located in the east end zone.
Video showed one of the officials working the game grab the item and then toss it onto the sideline out of the way of any action.
The object was later picked up by a security guard and moved out of view, according to The Athletic.
The game action was not interrupted, and it wasn’t clear if anyone had been identified as the person who threw the sex toy onto the field.
Several high-profile incidents occurred at WNBA games this season where individuals threw sex toys onto the court, leading to several people being arrested.
Delbert Carver, 23, had been charged with disorderly conduct, public indecency/incident exposure and criminal trespass after he tossed an object onto the court during a game between the Valkyries and Dream in Georgia.
Kaden Lopez, 18, was arrested in Phoenix, Ariz., after he attempted to throw a sex toy onto the court of a game hosted by the Mercury and hit a man and his 9-year-old niece who were sitting in their seats.
And the New York Police Department nabbed a 32-year-old man from Ohio for a similar incident.
A cryptocurrency group took credit for the recent stunts, and in an interview with KFC Radio in August, they said they would pull the stunt at other sporting events — though it’s unclear if Sunday’s instance was related.
A green sex toy was also thrown onto the field during a preseason game between the Titans and Vikings last month.
