U.S. Olympic discus thrower Veronica Fraley revealed on social media that she was unable to pay her rent, receiving only partial support from her school, which prioritizes football players. Her plea caught the attention of rapper Flavor Flav and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, who both offered to cover her rent. Flavor Flav immediately sent a payment, while Ohanian contributed $7,760, covering the rest of her rent for the year. Fraley also started a GoFundMe campaign to support her athletic career, which received significant contributions following the celebrities' actions. This incident highlights the financial struggles faced by some Olympians and sparked discussions on pay inequality in collegiate sports.
