Ben Watson doesn't look too happy about this

Maybe I'm being obtuse, but it seems like they were doing a bit. I don't think Ben was mad, just did a good job playing his part.
I think you are being obtuse. Did you see the tweet Watson made after the incident demanding a public apology to his wife? Watson was mad. Watson is very devout in his faith and his family and he's the kind of person who will not allow anyone to disrespect him or his family. The "joke" crossed the line ON NATIONAL TV.
