Angel Reese is the most hated wbna player.

Question

WBNA star Angel Reese is no stranger to being in the spotlight and dealing with trash talkers. However seemingly living in the shadow of her fellow league superstar in Caitlin Clark, who she also shared the spotlight with in college has come with much criticism and hate. Reese, has repeatedly called out fans and even entire fanbases claiming that she is excessively targeted. Reese and Clark have both become household names but is Reese really hated on more and does her stardom and glory match that of the backlash she receives?

Comments

According to an article published by The Spun your claim is correct. A voting poll was conducted by BetOnline.ag which revealed Angel Reese to be the most hated player in the WNBA by a bit of a landslide. The proof behind this study is from the amount of negative tweets there are for each player in the league and Angel received almost 200,000 negative tweets which is almost double the amount of the next closest player, Chennedy Carter who received around 110,000.

I agree with what you said, and I think I'll add on that I think a main reason why people think Angel Reese is the most hated WNBA player is because of her personality. In the NCAA women's college basketball championship a year ago, Angel Reese seemed to taunt Caitlin Clark prior to LSU (Angel Reese's team) winning the game. I think a lot of people watching saw that as a sign of selfishness by Reese in addition to being a rude player, hence a reason why she could still be considered the most hated WNBA player.

Answer 1

The Spun and Athlon Sports are both articles that support your claim of Angel Reese and the hate she receives, the title of most hated WNBA player may be far stretched especially with the lack of sources proving she is the most hated. There is a lot of hatred and bullying on social media as it is easier to hide behind a screen. While there is not a doubt Angel Reese has many hate comments on social media, this may be due to the increase of popularity the WNBA has received recently as well as the battle between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark the press and the fans have created. The amount of hate comments by fans or random users may not fully depict that she is the most hated WNBA player.
