RSL apologizes for omitting women's soccer star on social media

Real Salt Lake apologized Friday for a post on X that showed former NFL defensive end J.J. Watt attending a game at America First Field with his family — without acknowledging his wife, Kealia, was herself a homegrown soccer star.

Driving the news: Kealia Watt — or Kealia Ohai for most of her career — is "one of the most decorated players to ever come out of this state," RSL's X account posted.

• The daughter of Draper won eight state championships between youth and high school soccer leagues, was a two-time Utah Gatorade Athlete of the Year, joined the U.S. youth national teamer at 13 and scored the game-winning goal in the FIFA U-20 World Cup final.
• She won a national title with the University of North Carolina and joined the Houston Dash as the No. 2 overall draft pick. She eventually became their captain, and retired from the Chicago Stars (Red Stars at the time) a few years ago, RSL wrote.

What they're saying: "We are deeply sorry," RSL posted. "Thank you for all you do for the sport."
