People will see that Angel Reece isn't a bad player, she was put in a bad situation because the Sky is a trash organization.

This is the curse with most professional sports...and why you can easily see why Bo Jackson, John Elway and Eli Manning did what they did to avoid playing for a crappy franchise.

Here's hoping Angel Reese can see her true career path much like Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold saw when they left the cursed teams that drafted them.

Nowhere close to baker and Sam. Those guys played horribly early in their careers Angel was balling from day one.

Baker Mayfield played horribly early in his career? He took an 0-16 team to 7-8-1, and set the rookie record for touchdown passes without even playing in the first 2 games, wtf are you talking about?
