You remember when Aaliyah Boston missed the game tying shot and received all the hate mail from Caitlin fans.
Or when reese did the can't see me thing (the same thing Caitlin did) and receive horrible backlash.
Caitlin did the "you can't see me" gesture to her own strength coach! Hailey Van Lith is even on record explaining this.

It just goes to show you how immature and petty a person like Angel Reese is, following Caitlin around after the game like that taunting her.

CC included would be like the participation trophy Christian Laettner got in 1992. She is currently not one of the very best PGs in the league.
lol. What an absolutely ignorant and clueless take.
No she may not be the GOAT today. But she’s doesn’t have to be to be included on the team. They selected 8 guards. This is where she ranks compared to those 8 guards that did make the team. She’s pretty much in the top half of all of them.

Race plays into a bit, but some of the race coverage is way overblown.
Ionescu is a straight white Christian, too, just like Clark.
Race plays heavily into it.
Whites had been taught for generations to be colorblind and meritocratic, and as a once naive younger man I thought for a while we just might achieve a post-racial status in America. HA! This is a sick, delusional joke that discredits human biology, history, behavior, and genetics.
Every nonwhite group on earth is ethnocentric and lobbies endlessly for their own group's best interests. The activist WNBA is no different. If European whites so much as request keeping AP honors classes in their high schools, they are attacked as white supremacist. Hell, if whites improve crappy ghettos, it's called gentrification; if they move out to protect their families, it's white flight.
It's why Caitlin can never say the wrong thing in pressers, and always takes the colorblind high road.
But "white silence is violence" according to our BLM-worshipped government, so now folks like Cameron Brink has to apologize for her whiteness and femininity. This is a profoundly sick mental disease.
Despite Caitlin propping up the league and always advocating for black players, she is resented for her popularity and middle-American whiteness. The mostly black Olympic committee feels this deep within their bones.
Hey white Man and Woman: keep claiming that you don't see race, but please remember that race sure as hell sees you.

She’s outperforming most of the 8 guards they were selected.

Seems that she has shown enough form to get a spot, As well as Lisa Leslie saying in April that she deserved a spot.
ETA 3 of the last 5 number one overall picks got spots
Yeah, I'm no women's basketball expert, but Lisa Leslie is considered a top-5 all-time WNBA great and she said back in April that she should be on the team and that she was already one of the best players in the world.
It's not the end of the world that she isn't on there, but she seems to be deserving already based on past rookies who have made the team, her college records, and her performance so far in her first 12 WNBA games.

The people that say she shouldn’t be on the team are absolutely delusional.
Or maybe just ignorant? I can see that as womens basketball isn’t that popular.

Once you proclaim someone invincible, she is going to be played very tough and aggressively. Her fans created her the Savior Also, when all her fans are superfans and bullies..yeah the players aren't going to be as welcoming to her. Who would be?
Yea it has nothing to do with them being jealous that she’s getting all this attention and they wish they were in her position lol
The players are taking it out on her fans by proxy lol

Y'all are too stupid too realize y'all are making it immensely harder for Caitlin adapt and adjust to being a professional player. People including the players don't hate Caitlin, they hate her stupid fans who've never even watched women's basketball before but have so many opinions. Let her continue to grow as a professional player and earn her stripes. When you proclaim someone a "God/Savior" the natural things a human will do is it destroy that ideology. Caitlin life is probably miserable and it's because of her stupid fans making these non stories turn into these huge media storm. It puts everyone around her in a difficult position. She will be on the Olympics team, just not this year.
First off, who the frick are you calling stupid? Second, she's adjusted just fine, which has absolutely nothing to do with me. I've never watched a WNBA game in my life. Third, where did I proclaim her to be a "God/Savior"? Fourth, why would you assume she's miserable because of her fans? Why not the jealous bitches she plays against? Fifth, there is no objective reason to leave her off the Olympic team.

Finally someone comes along who brings all of that, because she shoots like a man, and boom, instant success.
She paved the way for girls like Caitlin. Walked so she could run. Didn’t even have an Angel Reese to play villain as an assist.
Taurisi and others had their time, and it was nothing, but now it’s Clark’s time, and you wanna sit here talking that back in the day crap. Ain’t no nostalgia to this shite!!!

4 of the 5 women who selected the players for the Olympic team and left Clark offf....are black.
And wait for it....
One of the Olympic committee members is Dawn Staley.
Then why are 4 out of the 12 Team USA players are white women?
Hmmm. If Dawn hates Caitlin as you believe. Why would she take 2 minutes after she won the national championship to compliment Caitlin, calling her one of the GOATS of the game who will uplift the WNBA?

The two captains of the team will be white women, one of them being an outspoken straight Christian female, and all you pussies can do is use Clark as your token fkr white victimhood
It’s great

Because they control it, not any other reason.Taurisi can’t grow the game whatsoever. Thats been proven. Put Clark and the whole country is watching. The whole country is talking about her not being on it. It’s just jealousy and bitterness.

She's not on the court playing against her strength coach so that explanation does nothing. It was targeted to the opponent.
