    It’s nice to see a celebrity actually just be a decent human being and use their fortune for good. This man sponsored the women’s water polo team to go to the 2024 Paris Olympics too. Seems like he genuinely does care about women’s sports so more respect to him for also putting his money where his mouth is.

    Not just ice hockey, but opened it up to ALL medal winners:

    I want to bring all United States female Olympians and Paralympians, the ones that won medals.

      Sus that the man who wore gigantic circular objects on his neck is wanting only women who wore gigantic gold, silver, and bronze circular objects on their necks.

      Some sort of roundist I assume!

        Little known fact he is actually a distant relative of Qymaen jai Sheelal also known as General Grievous. Those medals will be making a fine addition to his collection.

        This is a stupid joke, why did I make this comment.

          Not this time. And this time he won’t escape.

    Does anyone else remember “the flavor of love” and how trashy that show was?

    Some of the woman openly talked about how they had triggers from past trauma in their childhood and previous relationships. But the shows priority was to entertain the audience at the women’s expense. And was New York faking being bat shit crazy or was she genuinely insane?

      I don’t want to write an in depth comment without receipts, but I swear I watched a breadtuber deep dive into how he put those women in horrible situations, and they also touched on his personal life. I cannot for the life of me find the video though, but the information I remember is pretty damning. If anyone knows what I’m referring to, please post a link. I’m not trying to dismiss this act if it’s a genuine thing, but I would love to know I’m not hallucinating this video.

      I loved that show as a sort of guilty pleasure. The spin off with New York was not as good.
