"After the women's Olympic hockey team-which won gold in overtime against Canada in Milan-skipped the State of the Union address, Flavor Flav was quick to issue a public alternative invitation on social media, offering up a celebratory trip to Las Vegas."
"Flavor Flav's vision for the weekend is all about building up the Olympic and Paralympic women medalists. His posts promise nice dinners, concerts, shows, and a big party-all to support women's sports."
"The rapper and Public Enemy member has become one of the loudest supporters of women's sports in the past few Olympic cycles. He is the official hype man and a sponsor for USA Water Polo."
Flavor Flav, a prominent supporter of women's sports and official hype man for USA Water Polo, has become increasingly visible in Olympic sponsorships. After the USA women's hockey team declined an invitation to the State of the Union address—following a locker room phone call where President Trump and the men's team laughed about the women's gold medalists attending—Flavor Flav offered an alternative celebration. He organized the "She Got Game" weekend in Las Vegas for July 16-19, featuring dinners, concerts, shows, and parties. The event is sponsored by MGM Resorts and women-led sports media brand The Gist, designed to celebrate and support women's Olympic and Paralympic medalists.
