I might be overreacting but something happened today with my friend and I'm upset about it.

His wife and he were over for lunch at our house. We are pretty close and I've been open with them (particularly him) about my anxiety issues and that I'm on medication for it.

There was a soccer match on today which he wanted to watch and he asked me for the remote so he could turn it on. This in itself was a bit weird because I don't just go to someone's house and ask them for the remote without asking if they want to watch something. But either way it isn't the main point.

I don't like watching live sports..my anxiety gets the better of me, I can't enjoy it, and much prefer to follow along on Reddit or Twitter. After 2 min, I asked if we could please turn it off..he said no he wants to watch. 5 min go by and I say please I'm really anxious, he laughed and said I was overreacting and it's just a game. Then 5 min later I'm literally sitting there with my hand covering my face and he laughs again and mocks me. They left shortly thereafter but the whole time I was panicking.

How do I bring this up with him? I felt very hurt that he didn't see what it was doing to me or respect my feelings. And also, it's my house! If I don't want to watch TV, we're not watching TV!
