Numerous sports celebrities have been making waves at the 2024 Paris Olympics, showing their support for Team USA.
Among them, Jason Kelce has become a standout favorite and a frequent presence in the Olympic Village. The rugby team seized the opportunity to connect with him, especially star player and TikTok sensation Ilona Maher, who was eager to make her move.
Kelce engaged in a lively conversation with Ilona Maher, known for her viral TikTok videos and playful sense of humor. Maher saw an opportunity to recruit Kelce as the ultimate fan of Team USA women’s rugby and didn’t waste a moment.
The rugby star humorously argued why Kelce should embrace his new role as a superfan.
Drawing a parallel to the women’s water polo team’s unofficial mascot, Flavor Flav, she pointed out that Kelce’s role as a “girl dad” made him the perfect candidate. In her playful pitch, Maher joked that there would be no financial reward or free merchandise, only the joy of supporting the team.
Kelce, never one to back down from a good-natured ribbing, pretended to deliberate deeply as Maher’s comedic sales pitch continued. After her humorous and heartfelt speech, Kelce finally declared his newfound allegiance to the team, proclaiming himself an official fan of Team USA women’s rugby.
