The players are more pissed about losing than they are happy about winning.

Thanks

It sounds like they both won and lost the same match. I think it needs something to make it general: "The players are always more ****** about losing than they are happy about winning."

Readers should be aware that many people consider the word '******' impolite.

You need "always" as enoon pointed out, or "generally" or "typically" something that indicates you are making a generalized statement, rather than speaking of a specific match which they cannot win and lose at the same time.

The players are...
generally/typically/always/often <<pick one that fits your desired meaning

more upset about losing than they are h

This may not be relevant to you, but in BrE "******" means "drunk", while your meaning of "annoyed" or "irritated" would be "****** off". Both are vulgar and should not be used in polite company.
