Flavor Flav has announced plans to host a "She Got Game" weekend celebration in Las Vegas from July 16-19, which will feature the U.S. Women's Hockey Team, who won a gold medal, as well as other female athletes who won medals at the recent Olympics in Italy. The idea for the Vegas celebration came after President Trump joked about feeling obligated to invite the women's hockey team to the White House, an invitation they declined.

Why it matters

The event highlights the growing popularity and recognition of women's sports, especially after the U.S. women's hockey team's gold medal victory. It also comes amid ongoing tensions between female athletes and the White House over political disagreements and perceived lack of support.
