Fox News commentator Jesse Watters raised eyebrows with an unexpected rant about male soccer fans during a segment on The Five.

Instead of sticking to the discussion about Democrats and patriotism, Watters veered off course, labeling men who get excited about the World Cup as “phony.”

His remarks left many social media users scratching their heads.

Calling Out “Fake” Sports Enthusiasts

Watters claimed that he could identify insincere people just by watching how they react during the World Cup.

According to him, some men suddenly act passionate about soccer, gathering in bars, drinking beer, and loudly cheering for teams like Argentina or France.

He dismissed their enthusiasm as an attempt to impress others, insisting that “no one cares.”

Turning It Into a Political Argument

Rather than stopping at sports, Watters took the conversation in a political direction.

He linked his critique of soccer fans to his broader opinion of the Democratic Party, suggesting that liberals try too hard to seek approval from foreign nations, the media, and academics.

He then made an even more baffling claim, implying that Black and Hispanic voters—as well as young men and union workers—want nothing to do with Democrats for this reason.

Social Media Reactions: Confusion and Mockery

Watters’ comments quickly became a topic of discussion online, with many users expressing confusion.

One person bluntly asked, “What the hell does that even mean?”

Others mocked his logic, pointing out that bars are always filled with men drinking beer and watching sports.

Some even joked that Watters had likely never stepped into a bar during a major sporting event.

While his rant may have been intended as a jab at Democrats, it mostly ended up puzzling viewers and adding to the list of controversial takes from the Fox News host.
