Caitlin Clark’s outspoken superfan, Dave Portnoy, has once again made headlines, this time for his harsh criticism of Angel Reese. Amid Reese’s recent suspension by the Chicago Sky, Portnoy didn’t hold back, publicly calling her behavior out in a way that quickly stirred debate across social media.
The drama began after the Sky announced Reese would be sidelined for what they described as “statements detrimental to the team.” The suspension came on the heels of a series of technical fouls that had already drawn attention to her fiery on-court demeanor. For Portnoy, this was just another reason to question her attitude and approach.
In his commentary, Portnoy went as far as to describe Reese as “being an a**hole,” sparking mixed reactions among fans. Some agreed with his blunt assessment, arguing that her actions have been disruptive both for the team and for the league’s image. Others, however, felt the critique crossed a line, suggesting that Portnoy’s comments were unnecessarily personal.
Reese, known for her competitive edge and bold personality, has often been at the center of controversy since her rookie season. While her talent on the court is undeniable, her passionate style has polarized audiences. Portnoy’s comments only add another layer to the ongoing conversation about how she is perceived by both supporters and critics.
With Reese sidelined and Portnoy’s comments going viral, the debate about sportsmanship, player conduct, and media narratives continues to heat up. Whether fans agree with him or not, Portnoy has once again ensured that the spotlight stays firmly on one of the WNBA’s most talked-about players.
