Jordan Chiles is proving she’s more than just a gymnastics queen. She’s an all-around athlete. Whether she’s chasing Olympic gold or testing her skills in a new sport, she’s always up for a challenge. And this time, she stepped onto the football field during Super Bowl LIX weekend to show off her moves. With flag football set to debut at the 2028 Olympics, Chiles decided to see what the hype was about. And let’s just say, she made quite the impression.

Nike, looking to make a big splash with its Super Bowl campaign, was all over the event. NFL legend Deion Sanders and Saints linebacker Demario Davis hosted a panel at the Women’s Flag Football Festival, while a star-studded celebrity game took place with Cam Newton, Kai Cenat, IShowSpeed, and Quavo. Chiles, playing for Team Chai, didn’t just participate—she delivered. A now-viral clip shared by USA Gymnastics shows her making a beautiful catch, leaving NFL fans divided. Some were hyped to see her dominate, while others weren’t so sure a gymnast could hang with the football crowd.

But let’s be real—Chiles has the heart of a champion, and that mindset translates to any sport she steps into. Even Michael Vick got in on the action, throwing a perfect pass her way. As one fan hilariously tweeted, “Watching the celeb flag football stream and Mike Vick funny asf for makin’ Jordan Chiles and Ki’Lolo snap it every play.” Whether it’s on the mat or on the field, Chiles keeps proving that she’s got the talent to shine anywhere. But seeing all this, NFL fans were ready to praise and criticize her.

From cheers to criticism, Jordan Chiles sparks reactions everywhere

Jordan Chiles is stacking up wins everywhere—whether it’s in gymnastics, flag football, or fighting for what’s right. Fans couldn’t get enough of her skills during the celebrity flag football game, with one tweeting, “💐💐💐💐💐💐 Give Jordan Chiles her flowers for a good catch!” Another added, “We claim this queen, obviously a Birds fan with the green gloves. 🙌💚🦅👑

But flag football is just a side quest for Chiles. She’s still dominating gymnastics, helping UCLA chase NCAA glory after already landing two perfect 10s. And while she should be celebrating her Olympic bronze from Paris 2024, she’s instead fighting for it after a judging error led to it being taken away when her coach’s score correction was ruled too late by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

What’s your perspective on:

Does Jordan Chiles' performance in flag football prove she's a true all-around athlete?

Have an interesting take?

Despite the setback, Chiles isn’t backing down—she’s proving once again that champions don’t just win; they fight. Another fan chimed in, “She’s so athletic,” while others had mixed reactions. One pointed out, “I’m sure UCLA’s gymnastics coach loves their star putting herself at injury risk,” raising concerns about her balancing both sports.

But then came a truly hateful comment: “Holy sh*t, what a sl*b. Black people can’t help but make everything about their s*xuality.” A disgusting remark—but let’s be real, Jordan isn’t losing sleep over it. She knows exactly what she’s capable of and what it takes to be the best. And she’s not about to let ignorance dim her shine. She’s focused, determined, and ready to claim what’s hers—no matter the noise.
