After several weeks, the Olympics is officially done in Paris. Turns out, rapper Flavor Flav thought that the sporting event was more exciting than the Super Bowl. In response, NFL fans expressed their take on the rapper’s claim on social media.
Flavor Flav, the iconic member of the hip-hop group Public Enemy, has made some intriguing remarks about his experience at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The rapper, who served as the official hype man for the United States women’s water polo team, revealed that he found the Olympics to be even more exciting than the Super Bowl, widely considered the biggest sporting event in the United States.
Flav’s enthusiasm for the Olympics was evident throughout the competition, as he enthusiastically supported the water polo athletes, a sport that often struggles to garner mainstream attention. In fact, Flav even signed a five-year sponsorship deal with both the U.S. women’s and men’s water polo teams, hoping to help raise the sport’s profile.
Beyond just supporting the athletes, Flav also stepped up to provide financial assistance to discus thrower Veronica Fraley, who had lamented her current situation. This gesture showcases Flav’s desire to make a meaningful impact on the lives of Olympic competitors, many of whom face significant challenges in pursuing their dreams.

“Super Bowl is overrated lol it’s just one big who’s who and a lot of people there don’t even care about the game. This isn’t even a crazy take lol the passion and environment at the Olympics is so much more intense,” h.poulakos posted.
In contrast to Flav’s claim, the Super Bowl this year drew a record-breaking average audience of 123.7 million viewers, making it the largest TV audience ever. The game, which aired on CBS, Univision, Nickelodeon, and Nick-at-Nite, saw a 7.4% increase in viewership compared to the previous year. This underscores the enduring popularity of the Super Bowl as the premier sporting event in the United States.
While the Super Bowl undoubtedly holds a special place in the hearts of American sports fans, Flav’s glowing assessment of the Olympics highlights the unique and captivating nature of the global sporting event. His perspective serves as a testament to the power and excitement that the Olympics can generate, even for the most ardent fans of traditional American sports.
