Kealia Ohai was traded from the Houston Dash to the Chicago Red Stars on Monday after six seasons with the team. many people in Houston thought JJ Watt would be upset about this news as he is engaged to Ohai.
Watt was actually more upset with how some in the media framed the entire story.
Local news station ABC 13 in Houston sent out a tweet announcing the news with the phrasing: “Houston Dash trade J.J. Watt’s fiancee to Chicago.”
The tweet was blasted by many others for not even mentioning Ohai in the headline, but it was Watt who truly put them on blast by calling their headline “trash.”
ABC 13 was likely going for an SEO play, because Watt is such a highly searched athlete and his fiance is not as well known.
ABC 13’s headline currently reads, “Houston Dash star Kealia Ohai traded to Chicago.”
