re: Caitlin Clark will not be on Olympic roster

She is roughly the 20th best player in the WNBA right now. Seems like it makes sense she wouldn’t make the roster

Apparently El Presidente has an opinion... which is once again completely spot on.

Or maybe she was overhyped.
She had 30 points last night and made a team record 7 3-pointers. She is one of only two rookie NBA rookies to do that in WNBA history and one of only two players to have a 30-5-5 stat line with the 8 rebounds and 6 assists she also had.
She is turning the ball over too much, but she is already scoring big like she did in college averaging 17 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal per game. And through her first 12 games, 6 of them have been 20+ point performances (including 30 in two of those).

yeah one of the stupidest decisions in sports ever. they could have marketed this like the dream team and sold a shitload of merch, etc... wheaties box, mcdonalds game...... how stupid do you have to be. I cant even understand how she isnt the first person picked for this.

What's the thing HVL is the Olympics member of? Do they just play half court 3 on 3?

We get it, she’s white. Calm down.

She is on the roster…….the men’s

Looking at the schedule, does the Big 3 season overlap? If Ice Cube can convince her, she could make millions while stealing viewers from the Olympics just for the lulz.

Our great American Brittney griner has a spot
Congrats!
I'm confused... do we want the US to put together the best team or not?
Griner does that, a rookie who is still finding her footing in pro basketball probably doesn't. Either way, US is going to win.

I agree. You have to make a spot for her if you want your sport to grow. This is levels of idiotic that I can't really comprehend.

That would be hilarious.
And beat our asses.
This country is run by morons. Sports is likeability and pure entertainment. Leaving her off ensures no eyeballs. Good job promoting your sport you frickin' clowns.
I mean she has already talked about being worn out by the WNBA season starting so season after the college season ended, now you wanna add the Olympics to that? She's young and can use the break, she'll be on the Olympic roster the next 3 Olympics if she pans out

no you don't. Clark getting 5-15 mpg in a tournament that is already pre-ordained for the USA to win does nothing for the WNBA.

griner played 1 game this year... just saying. clark has 200+ points already and put on another 3 point clinic last night. the level people will go to try and tear down clark is mind boggling.

And will be a force down low against international competition.
Just like NBA and men's international basketball, it's a completely different game.

This is the dumbest I’ve ever heard. She would be the single most watched athlete at the Olympics in America making Women’s Basketball the most anticipated event, and they do this shite.
They instead they put in a fricking pothead lesbian loser that we exchanged for the Merchant of Death who is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths.
You watch the Biden Administration is going to try to turn Britney Griner into the star for the Olympics and no one is going to watch.

I thought the point was to win. You're supposed to put the proven best players on the court that will give you the best chance at Gold. This isn't a popularity contest.

Simone Biles would be watched more.
Gym is always primetime, basketball hardly ever.
Stop pearl clutching over manufactured drama.
