Fox News commentator Jesse Watters branded male soccer fans ‘phony’ in a bizarre rant that baffled many on social media.
Watters appeared on The Five on Monday evening and the Fox News star used a discussion about the Democrats and patriotism to suggest soccer supporters aren’t real men.
‘You know how I know who a phony person is? When the World Cup comes around,’ Watters said.
‘All of a sudden, these so-called “men” get really into sports. You see them at the bars on a Saturday with beer and they’re yelling all of a sudden.
‘Argentina vs. France? Calm down, guys. We all know what’s going on here. You’re trying to impress people that no one cares about.’
The Fox News host then attempted to turn his comments into a political point about the left in America. ‘That’s what’s wrong with the Democrats,’ Watters continued.

‘That’s why the Blacks and Hispanics and all the young men and unions are like: “Guys, just get away from us.”‘
His comments sparked confusion on social media. ‘WTH (what the hell) does that even mean?’ one fan asked.
‘Unlike all the other times where men are at bars on a Saturday with beer and they are quietly talking about philosophy?’ another joked.
‘Jesse has never been in a bar watching sports in his life,’ a third said.
