Flavor Flav Sets July 'She Got Game' Weekend in Las Vegas With MGM to Honor U.S. Women Olympians

Sparked by a locker-room remark from President Trump, the plan follows the women’s team declining a State of the Union invitation.

Overview

  • The four-day celebration is scheduled for July 16–19 in partnership with MGM Resorts and women-led sports media brand The Gist.
  • Flavor Flav expanded the invite to all U.S. female Olympic and Paralympic medalists, with plans for dinners, shows, and a public parade.
  • A GoFundMe launched by Flav to support athletes and the weekend surpassed $90,000 within two days, according to recent coverage.
  • Media reports citing the Associated Press say women’s hockey players accepted Flav’s invitation, though USA Hockey has not detailed that and some players say they are unsure about a White House visit.
  • Brands offering support include StubHub, Lyft, Megababe, Alaska Airlines, and Visit Las Vegas, and MGM says planning is underway with event details to follow.
