Team USA Women's Rugby Star Challenges Jason Kelce to Arm Wrestling

Team USA women's rugby star Nicole Heavirland celebrated their big victory against Brazil on Sunday by challenging Jason Kelce to an arm wrestling match. But it looked very strongly like there were some shenanigans afoot with the former Philadelphia Eagles center, whose win is now being called into question.

Heavirland, 29, posted the video to her Instagram on Sunday, still wearing her uniform from the match. "Challenged Jason Kelce to an arm wrestling match," read text over the video, while she added in a caption: "Holding on to that table a little bit?"

"Are we ready? 3,2,1..." the "referee" of the match says in the clip, while a woman's voice, seemingly the 36-year-old's wife Kylie Kelce, can be heard in the background shouting, "he's gonna cheat!"

And sure enough, while Heavirland initially seemed to present a formidable foe to Kelce, the tides turned after he was seen grabbing the corner of the table with his left hand. And while Heavirland managed hold her own for several seconds, Kelce eventually won, pumping his arms in the air.

"I tried to warn you!" Kylie commented on the video. For his part, Kelce winked at the alleged misconduct, commenting himself: "Holding onto something with your off hand is completely within the rules of the International federation of Arm Wrestling."

At any rate, the Kelces were on hand to support the women's rugby team, which also shared a photo of the couple along with teammates Heavirland, Kasey McCravey, Kate Zackary, Meya Bizer, and Kristen Thomas. "Just a bunch of Eagles," the official team account captioned the Instagram photo.

In other video shared to TikTok, team star Ilona Maher asked Kelce if he would hype up their team, similar to how Flavor Flav is supporting Team USA water polo.

"Women's water polo has Flavor Flav as their superfan, and you are a girl dad," Maher could be heard telling Kelce in the clip. "Do you get anything from being our superfan? No. There's no reward, no money, no benefits, I don't think I can get you free stuff," she added, asking him if he would declare himself an official fan.

"You're a great salesman," Kelce noted, stroking his beard. "I am officially a fan of women's rugby, Olympics."
