J.J. Watt criticizes Real Salt Lake for not recognizing Kealia Ohai

J.J. Watt and Kealia Ohai attended Real Salt Lake's match against Burnley FC on July 17. Following their appearance, Real Salt Lake posted a photo that only acknowledged J.J. Watt, omitting Kealia Ohai's name. Watt publicly addressed this oversight, highlighting his wife’s achievements in Utah soccer, including four state championships and U.S. national team honors. In response to the backlash, Real Salt Lake issued a public apology for not recognizing Kealia and thanked both for their contributions to soccer. Watt accepted the apology and wished the team well for the rest of the season.
