This news station made a tweet about his lady being traded. And people are all upset because they called her JJ Watts Fiance. But really if this was just another female soccer player no one would care. He is the reason it is story not her.

they are talking about her career move i'm guessing. so referring to her as "jj's chick" when its about her career is incredibly insulting.

good on him.

they could have said her name and referenced her relationship with JJ but they went the lazy route.

Hes right and the publication is wrong. They should state her name, and if they deem it necessary, include that she is the wife of JJ Watt at the end of the note.

Uh, yeah he's right. It's an incredibly common misogynist trope to always refer to women as "[Husband's] girlfriend/fiance/wife/etc." as if they have no value outside of their man.

The headline should be "Houston Dash trade JJ Watt's fiance Kealia Ohai to Chicago"

No one knows who she is.

Bullshit

If there was a headline titled "Larry Walker Wins The Lottery", baseball fans would know who that is but most people would have no idea who that is. The headline should have been "Former MLB Player Larry Walker Wins The Lottery" or "Former MLB Player Wins The Lottery"
