USA women’s polo chooses Flavor Flav as propagandist for the Paris Olympics
Maggie Steffens asked for more support for the U.S. women’s water polo team, and the captain received one particularly surprising response.
From a watch-wearing rap icon.
Posted by Steffens’ post on Instagram, Flavor Flav helped the U.S. team win an unprecedented fourth consecutive gold medal at the Paris Summer Olympics. It is finalizing a deal that can make it a sponsor of water polo in the US and an official propagandist for a program geared toward increasing the highlight.
Flav, 65, the founder and propagator of Public Enemy propaganda, immediately threw himself into his recent duties, highlighting several of the team’s best players in social media. She also plans to observe the women’s team play in Paris.
“When I go out and watch the water polo team… ‘USA!’ USA!’ Yo, I’m gonna be the biggest hype they’ve ever experienced in their lives,” he he said AP on Friday. “I’m going to be larger than any cheerleader they’ve ever had of their life. I’ll root for this team and I’ll root for this team to win the gold medal.
The victory is the typical result for the U.S. women’s team since the 2012 Olympics. However, it has not attracted as much attention or support as similarly dominant American programs, largely because water polo stays a distinct segment sport in most of the world.
This – combined with a little bit of nostalgia – prompted 30-year-old Steffens, the last member of the 2012 band, to post on Instagram. Expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to play and her love for the sport, she also encouraged anyone reading the post to get to know her team and highlighted the ongoing financial struggles of most Olympians.
“We got a lot of comments like, ‘Oh, that’s great what you did.’ It’s a shame you’re not a soccer or basketball player because your team would get a lot more exposure and a lot more support,” Steffens said Friday from Paris, where the team is on a training trip ahead of the Olympics.
“Instead, we are still in the same place we were 12 years ago, which is not my goal. I always wanted to push the sport forward.”
In front of us is Flav, who, along with the group Public Enemy, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2013. Flav’s manager brought this post to his attention and decided he desired to help.
“There’s one thing about me: I know what it’s like to want to make your dream come true,” said Flav, who is thought for wearing a big clock on a sequence around his neck. “I know what it’s like to want to achieve a goal, and I’m the type of person that if I see you trying, I’ll do everything I can to help you.”
Steffens said it was “very surreal” when Flav – whose legal name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr. – he contacted her. When asked what she knew about Flav and the Public Enemy before the merger, Steffens immediately mimicked the frequent “Flavor Flav!” declaration.
Steffens is certainly one of the oldest players on the U.S. team, but she said 24-year-old Ryann Neushul has Public Enemy in her top five players on Spotify. Several of the team’s coaches and Steffens’ family were also enthusiastic about the collaboration.
“My whole family was like, ‘Is this true?’ Flav is now part of the water polo world?” Steffens said. “I thought, ‘I don’t know what’s going on, but I want to wear a watch now and that’s how I feel.’”
Steffens and the American team even have one other major supporter in Taylor Swift. On Friday evening, at La Défense Arena – the venue of the women’s water polo final that took place on August 10, they took part in a concert by a musician from the Eras Tour.

Women’s national team manager Ally Beck contacted Swift’s camp and surprised the team with tickets. Flav said he also contacted Swift’s team, but the tickets had already been approved.
Flav, who’s working on one other tour with Public Enemy that might start later this yr, then held up a T-shirt along with his picture and the words “KING SWIFTIE.”
“I’m proud to support Taylor. … Flavor Flav is the Swiftie, the king of all Swifties,” he said.
This is one other bond Flav shares along with his recent favorite band.
Love story about maturing with the participation of Lovie Simone and Michael Cooper Jr. It was renovated for season 2 just per week after the viewers were captured.
Congratulations are for the forged, crew and producers of Netflix “Forever” hits since it was renovated for the second season! Both Netflix and the Instagram page have provided excellent news.
“Season 2 was renovated forever!” Read the signature Netflix websiteWith a photograph of Lovie Simone, which has two sets of room signs, which, as we assume, represents the renewal of the second season.
“Forever” Brock Akil is an adaptation of Judah Blume’s book of the same name. The program, which was an awesome hit from the gate for presenting black love, parenting and a careful and thoughtful representation of the black teenage love story, took place on social media.
Made by Mara Brock Akil with the participation of Lovie Simone, Michael Cooper Jr., Wood Harris and Karen Pittman, amongst others, the desire to be caught in a various, authentic experience of the black community from wealthy to attending to getting and never putting them directly in a difficult situation, but not known, but a well-recognized, but familiar way.
Karen Pittman, who plays Dawn Edwards – a mother on the men’s leader, Justin – shared a message with thanks and appreciation On her website IG.
“Season 2 !!!!!! Thanks to millions of people who tuned, @Foreveronnetflix was renovated for season 2! Less than a week! Thank you very much … omg. I’m humiliated. And so excited! Let’s see what #dawnedwards gets to the next …”
Congratulations to everyone involved in “forever”, once we expect the second season and where they resolve to take the characters.

Warm or cool? Dark or blonde? The celebrities have been divided over the past week, which caused their argument for a lot of beautiful appearances to see what sticks. From the tonal division into eye shadows to a tie between blunt cutlets and hair extension, the most effective moments existed in indecision.
While Jorja Smith and Alva Claire decided to, respectively, on a denim and stone cold eye shadow, red lip of Ayo Edibir, blushing and brown bob suited her warm disposition. Very long ARI Lennox water waves mean long blond hair (combined with small pink makeup).
On the opposite hand, Tracee Ellis Ross and the star Essence March/April Tyra Banks was consistent: blunt and raw cuts are an unexpected trend this season. But Rihanna, noticed at Fenty Beauty, meeting in Paris, preferred to stay classic. Her powdered under the eyes combined with a standard lip: a dark insole and a brand new one Gloss bomb lip oil In “Rose Amber”.
If you missed this, have a look at the 11 best moments of the great thing about celebrities from the week.
Until now, the cultural trace of the story of Mara Brock Akil is undeniable. Her latest series, “Forever”, had all of us in our feelings last weekend (including this creator). But for fans of her earlier work “Girlfriends”, “Love Is” and “The Game” there’s also also also one query that never disappears: Will we ever receive the precise sending for ladies “girls”?
Apparently Akil wants it as much as we do.
In a recent seat in “Sherri” Akil said she was trying to revive the movie “Girls”
“I want to tell this story … I want to write an epic film (” Girls “); I tried to tell this story, “Akil admitted before I revealed that its biggest road blockade on this project was financing.
“So I have a good idea for us now,” she added. “Where is your phone? Do you know someone who has $ 50 million on your phone? Do we have five people who have $ 10 million? Do we have 10 million (people) who have five?”
Considering what variety of viewers Akil loves the work, social media users were shocked, hearing that the creator of “girls” is trying to get financing their projects.
“From the CV Mara Brock Akil should not be begging you to invest in her stories. This is crazy,” commented one user About the actual fact.
“If sex and city got two spinoff films, we can finish girls, someone will open their wallet” Another user wrote on Twitter.
While Shepherd was joking about “handing over the album” to finance the film, she also emphasized how difficult it’s to get projects in Hollywood, even throughout the case of essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably essentially probably essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially essentially probably essentially essentially probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably essentially probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably essentially probably probably probably probably probably probably essentially essentially essentially probably probably essentially probably the most respected names in the game. The premiere of “Girlfriends” in 2000 and ran for eight seasons, giving us 172 episodes with the participation of Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks, Jill Marie Jones, Persia White and Reggie Hayes. The program suddenly stopped in 2008 through the writers’ strike, leaving too many unanswered fans about Joan, Toni, Maya, Lynn and William.
Still, Akil didn’t lose hope. And she didn’t lose gratitude for the fans base, which stays to be going to history.
“I really want to thank the audience because you didn’t let go and (I),” Akil added.
