Texans Fan Trolls JJ Watt-Kealia Ohai Headline Controversy With Excellent Sign at Arrowhead
By Sean Facey
Houston Texans fans are pulling out all of the stops to show their support on the road against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round.
One fan showed up with a perfect sign poking fun at the trouble surrounding star defensive end JJ Watt's comments over a headline regarding his fiancée, National Women's Soccer League star Kealia Ohai, this week. He's showing proper respect to Ohai instead of her hubby here, for sure.
Hey, support is support, no matter which way you slice it!
Watt made headlines after he called out a news outlet for referencing Ohai primarily as his fiancée rather than as an individual following the announcement of Ohai's trade from the Houston Dash to the Chicago Red Stars.
"This headline is trash," Watt tweeted. "Kealia Ohai (which is her name by the way, since you didn’t even bother to mention it) is incredible entirely on her own merit and deserves to be treated as such. Be better than this."
And he was perfectly justified in being upset. Ohai is a standout athlete, and she should be respected for her individual accomplishments.
It was a strong and honorable stance against a ridiculous choice that now has clearly spurred his fans to hilariously flip the script on the whole situation.
