<p>In their 3-2 loss to<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/premier-league/table/2kwbbcootiqqgmrzs6o5inle5" target="_blank"> title-contenders Aston Villa</a> on Saturday, Watt expressed distaste on social media over a non-handball call that went against his team. Villa defender Diego Carlos appeared to flick the ball on with his hand with the scores at 2-1, but nothing was given by the referee. The Clarets then conceded an 89th minute penalty after being reduced to 10-men midway through the second half, to round out an agonizing loss.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>On social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, Watt posted a video showing what appears to be a handball against Villa that went unnoticed, asking viewers if he is "losing it or not."</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Just have to figure out if I’m losing it or not…<br><br>Would you call this a handball? <a href="https://t.co/stqgrZBmzB">pic.twitter.com/stqgrZBmzB</a></p>— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) <a href="https://twitter.com/JJWatt/status/1741147269842583765?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 30, 2023</a></blockquote>

WHAT WATT SAID

<p>Watt has been vocally active on social media about the Clarets, leading to an introduction of new fans across the country, while adding to the continuing trend of Americans showing interest in the league. On top of Watt, ex-NFL star <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/nfl-tom-brady-birmingham-city-leeds-minority-owner-championship-club/blt4d5774e2e7b472e6" target="_blank">Tom Brady is also an investor in English football, but with Birmingham City</a>. Then, NBA star <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/news/lebron-james-and-liverpool-the-la-lakers-stars-premier-league-investment-explained/l35fbosbgb3w1ep4cfs1totd1" target="_blank">Lebron James also has a stake in powerhouse Liverpool FC.</a></p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The Clarets return to action against Tottenham next Friday as they look to begin the new year on a high note. At the end of 2023, they sit 19th, five points beneath safety from relegation.</p>
