A picture of a man in a pool posing for a group photo with a number of women. The man holds a ball and wears water polo headgear. Some of the women also wear water polo headgear, others have only swimming caps.

Flavor Flav sponsors the women’s water polo team after learning some athletes have 2nd and 3rd jobs.

In May, US polo team captain Maggie Steffens asked for financial help on Instagram. Flavor Flav – William Jonathan Drayton Jr – answered the call: “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.”
Flav signed a five-year sponsorship deal to “elevate the visibility and excitement surrounding water polo in the United States.” The sponsorship includes personal appearances and financial contributions to help with equipment, facilities, and anything else they need. This is how it’s done 👏

I get what you are saying, but normally the sponsor is not a personal brand or literally personal, but companies. Apparently (visible) sports without extra hussle on the side is… Impossible?
Taking that I to account, I’d rather have persons behind sponsorships then companies.
