The American women’s water polo team is competing for its fourth consecutive Olympic gold in Paris, but it remains a difficult sibling in a country focused on the four major professional leagues of American football, basketball, baseball and ice hockey (NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL) and with the emergence of soccer (MLS) struggling to compete with them. They don’t have their own league apart from the university league and many players have to emigrate to Europe to continue practicing water polo while earning some money.
Tired of this situation, the captain Maggie Stephens -who played for CN Sabadell- made an appeal online looking for a sponsor to make the path easier for them. What I didn’t expect was for a famous person like that Flavor Flav.
Flav is the alias of William Jonathan Draytona prominent New York rapper who was one of the founders of the pioneering hip hop group Public Enemy. Well-known on stage because he always wears a huge watch with a diameter of about a span hanging around his neck on a chain, he is also a ‘celebrity’ beyond music because he is married to an actress. Brigitte Nielsenformer wife of Sylvester Stalloneand because he starred in various reality television shows.
At 65 years old, Flav agreed to help the American team and, although not knowing the exact terms of the agreement, he put water polo in the spotlight because he was training with the girls in the pool, giving them a lot of popularity and viralization in networks. She has been to Paris and was present at most of the matches played by the coach’s girls. Adam Krikorianmain candidates for the title.
It is known that he will pay for a cruise for the players and their families when they finish their Olympic competition and he also has another surprise gift prepared for them, the details of which have not yet been revealed.
Flav will be a regular face in the stands in Paris, as he has already said he wants to see live Simone Biles and the USA basketball team.
