Flavor Flav honors Water Polo star Maggie Steffens’ sister-in-law following her tragic passing on the way to the Olympics

/ Celebrities, News /

Legendary rapper Flavor Flav takes his title of “girl dad” very seriously. As a result, he became a sponsor and resident hype man for the United States’ Women’s Water Polo team. Over the last several days, Flavor Flav has been sitting in the stands watching Team USA’s women’s water polo team dominate the pool so far. Decked out in his usual sunglasses and large clock necklace, the performer has also been seen donning a custom water polo cap. The sight of Flavor Flav in the audience may seem unusual to some. But now the reason for his support is clear. According to ESPN, after learning that several members of the women’s water polo team worked “multiple jobs” in order to compete at the Paris Olympics, Flavor Flav stepped up to provide monetary (and emotional) support to the team. “As a girl dad and supporter of all women’s sports, imma personally sponsor you my girl, whatever you need. And imma sponsor the whole team,” Flavor Flav told American water poloist and team captain Maggie Steffens. “My manager is in touch with your agent and imma use all my relationships and resources to help all y’all even more.” Steffens admitted she couldn’t

Simone Biles, Team USA start off shaky, but finish strong on day 1

/ News /

Simone Biles is the epitome of grit. As the Women’s Gymnastics teams kicked off their Olympic Games, Team USA got off to a rocky start. A fall here and few wobbles there, Biles came out swinging, sticking her beam routine, and her floor routine despite seemingly suffering some sort of tweak or injury during floor warmups. While throwing her signature tumbling passes during her 30 second floor warm up, Biles told her coaches, “Not good.” Soon after, her team was wrapping her ankle. Despite all of that however, Biles went on to throw a stellar routine while smiling the whole way through. During her vault warm ups, Biles kept her spirits high, joking with her teammates, crawling back from her first run. But again her grit shined through, nailing both of her qualifying vaults. The final apparatus for Team USA was the uneven bars. It was learned that she was looking to get her sixth skill named after her, this one on the uneven bars. In order for a gymnast to have a gymnastic skill named after them, the gymnast must successfully perform the skill at an international competition, like Worlds or the Olympics.
