Fox News’ Jesse Watters: USWNT Hurting Equal-Pay Case With ‘Their Behavior’

Fox News host Jesse Watters said on Monday that the World Cup champion US Women’s National Team were hurting their cause for equal pay due to “their behavior,” claiming that some players’ disparagement of President Trump was “unpatriotic” and caused American soccer fans to tune them out.

Seemingly referencing star player Megan Rapinoe’s harsh criticisms of Trump and kneeling during the national anthem, Watters went on to claim that these actions were hurting their case.

“But the point is that women are not helping their case by their behavior,” Watters declared. “If you go out and you disparage the president and you act in unpatriotic ways and then complain about not getting paid equally, well, what do you think is gonna happen?”
