Summary
J.J. Watt publicly called out Real Salt Lake after the MLS club welcomed “@JJWatt and fam” at Wednesday’s match, without naming his wife Kealia Ohai Watt.
In his X reply, Watt argued the omission ignored a Utah soccer standout who grew up nearby, won four state titles and scored the fastest first goal in U.S. women’s national team history.
The couple attended Real Salt Lake’s game against Burnley FC, where they are partial owners after buying a stake in the English club in 2023.
Kealia Ohai Watt also won an NCAA title at North Carolina and was the No. 2 pick in the NWSL draft, underscoring why Watt said she merited mention in the post.
