Flavor Flav Is The Biggest Fan Of USA Women’s Water Polo, Stepped In To Sponsor Team When He Learned They Were Working Multiple Jobs To Continue Training

If you didn't have this on your lifelong bingo card, can hardly blame you. Flavor Flav chilling in Paris, not even casually the biggest champion of American women's water polo, and meeting our nation's First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden, and her grandchildren. Not to trivialize or overshadow what the American women did in the water in a dominant 15-6 win over Greece, but this is truly a team-up none of us could've imagined in our wildest dreams or "life as a simulation" scenarios. https://twitter.com/FlavorFlav/status/1817212671948726591 Did you know Flav was such a women's water polo stan? The coolest part is he doesn't just show his support via fandom. Flavor Flav quite literally saved Team USA in this particular competition with his generosity when he learned that prospective Olympians were working multiple jobs just to keep training for the Paris Summer Games. https://twitter.com/drummermoe/status/1816945763861299256 It shouldn't be this hard to get our athletes ready in any given sport, especially when the ladies have been so dominant in water polo. They're questing for their fourth straight gold medal. If it's all about hardware and accolades at the end of the day, we as a country should be investing anywhere possible where there's a real shot to stand atop the podium with those stars and stripes. Check out this post from team captain Maggie Steffans from a while back that explained the adversity her team faced to get to this year's Summer Olympics. https://www.instagram.com/p/C6j4IeUsLvY/?img_index=1 Good on Flavor Flav for stepping up to the plate when apparently no one else would. Look at how happy this man is. Talk about living your best life! https://twitter.com/USAWP/status/1816814174703378441 https://twitter.com/NBCSports/status/1817210095601664026 Having hammered away at Olympic coverage plenty over the years, I'm not going to lie to you: It's an overwhelming beast to tackle every time the latest Olympiad rolls around. With the exception of about a handful of sports, I'm crash-course researching and binging anything and everything in sight, 30 tabs open, trying to get up to speed on what's going on. Fascinating, wholesome stories like these underscore what the Olympics are all about. https://twitter.com/phxsunz25/status/1812880304014770504 Water polo is the sh*t. One of the most underrated, fun gym class games I ever got to play growing up. Love to see the squad get a rout of a win to kick things off in Paris. The highlights won't load in this space, but can be found at the link here . Far worse sports to consume on the women's side while we all wait for Simone Biles to hit the mat. Also, here's a little look at the USA water polo ladies' gold medal run from 2020 Tokyo Games. https://twitter.com/Olympics/status/1774753575891300482
