Reminds me of how apparently Flavor Flav sponsored the US Women's Water Polo team because he heard they we had minimal funding and were working multiple jobs plus trying to keep up with their training or something like that.
Its kinda sad to think about, but also I guess very American. Hoping some benevolent rich person blesses you and your sport with money so you can hopefully keep doing that sport to win a medal.
Edit: Yeah it was the water polo team, also realized I'm being serious on a meme post... ABC News Link
There was something similar back in the day where The Grateful Dead sponsored the Lithuanian Olympic basketball team because they were hard up on funds for equipment, so they ended up with tie-dye uniforms
Same fucking Americans who claim that the negative stuff we say about the US and the CIA is propaganda will, still to this day some 30 years later, tell you how important drinking dairy milk is. It's fucking wild.
We have the same in France. Literally everyone of my generation here knows their dumbass slogan "Diary products are our friends for life". Shit sounds like a fake DPRK story
