Is there a major sports league of any type with a higher percentage of insufferable jerks? I would suggest not.
Lots of leagues have a lot of jerks.

Just look at WRs in the NFL, although that has gotten a bit better in recent years. The NBA has had plenty over the years. Heck, baseball had Ty Cobb over 100 years ago and has had many other ones as well throughout history.

The difference is that most of the jerks in those leagues were also elite-level players, so they could get away with it. In the WNBA, the best of the best players are generally the ones that aren’t the jerks. Wilson, Collier, Stewart, Clark, Mitchell, and Bueckers are all ones I wouldn’t call insufferable. It really picks up in that next level down of players.

Angel really struggles to not be a tool.
You can tell guys like the RealDanZak don't actually watch the WNBA, but just like to stir the pot. Apparently the Dream winning game 6 doesn't count, because according to RealDanZak "Since Angel Reese taunted Golden State players with a “too small” gesture after Game 3. . . The Dream haven’t won since this moment."

She was calling her opponent “too small” to do anything to stop her.
Yep. And the Valkyries hitting her back has been kind of delicious.





This is the stuff that makes her such an unlikeable player IMO. There's nothing wrong with playing with emotion, pumping up the crowd, etc., but the way she does it getting right into her opponent's face with this gesture, which she's been doing for the past few years now when she makes a big play, is embarrassing. And then when she gets it thrown back in her face she just lowers her head and walks away like an idiot.

Will be interesting to see if Kelsey Mitchell finds the grass greener when she signs with another team. Because I thought only the Indiana “fans” were bad.
