Johnson said, "The two most difficult things in life are hitting a baseball and keeping a woman happy long term."

The topic being discussed was about 2025 NFL Draft prospect Travis Hunter's recent claims that playing both sides of the ball in football is tougher to do than what LA Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani does as a pitcher and DH in baseball.

In view of Johnson's response, some were taken back with his remarks regarding women.
Not that anyone is disagreeing with the 6x Pro Bowler...
Many fans joked that Ochocinco may be fired after his guest appearance on Stephen A. Smith's First Take show.

This "playing both sides of the ball" debate was also addressed on the Night Cap podcast with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson.

And many have since sided with the ex-Cincinnati Bengals star.
One user on X pointed out that Hunter's college coach, two-sport athlete Deion Sanders, disagrees with the cornerback/wide receiver.
"Let's see Travis Hunter hit 98mph. Even primetime said baseball is harder," a fan wrote.
Others noted that Hunter still has to prove himself at the next level, since Ohtani is doing what he does as a top pitcher and arguably best hitter in baseball.
"Ohtani hit 34 homers and threw 166.0 innings of 2.33 ERA baseball in the same season," one fan said on X. "Travis Hunter may do a lot, but Ohtani does more."
