Want an interesting read regarding porn stars and sports? This article is pretty fascinating.
The Washington Post featured a piece on former porn star Mia Khalifa (she calls herself a “social media personality” now) and her allegiance to her hometown sports teams. It turns out she’s been very active on social media lately, showing off her favorite sports gear from area Washington D.C. teams, and countless people have taken notice.
I know, this seems weird. But who else would get hundreds and hundreds of likes for a “Heartbroken” tweet after the Caps’ Game 6 loss in Pittsburgh? Or, uh, for an image of Alex Ovechkin photoshopped into her bosom?
“Since I gained a social media platform, I decided right away that I want to bring as much attention to Maryland and D.C. and the DMV area as I can,” Khalifa said in a phone interview this week. “I want to promote D.C. sports. I want to promote how amazing Maryland is and how gorgeous D.C. is and how great of a city it is. Because that’s home. Other than Wale, it’s not very well-represented [in certain circles]. So I want to help out with that. I really care about D.C.”
Is she helping make D.C. sports fandom cool?
“I hope I am,” she said. “Is it working? Do you think it’s working? I mean, I do get a lot of responses saying damn, now I’m a Caps fan, or damn, I should root for the Wizards; things like that. So I hope it’s working.”
The article goes on to explain that just about anything Khalifa retweets or tags ends up being the biggest tweet of the year for whomever she’s mentioning.
Here are a few popular snap shots that have been sure to encourage millions of bros to root for D.C. area sports teams.
