Why did you leave out turnovers? She’s dead last in the entire WNBA in turnovers.
Since the 2011 WNBA season there has been only been 3 other plays that averaged over 4 turnovers a game. She is currently averaging 5.6 turnovers a game.

It’s not that they hate white, straight basketball players. They just have contempt for a rookie white straight basketball player who has more fans than the rest of them combined.

My entire point is they hate her because of her fanbase and not her being white or straight. So you agree with me.

If she were black do you think they’d be holding her fan base against her?

The decision to leave Clark off the team can in no way be logically explained or defended. There’s simply an irrational contempt against her.
Please list all of the guards who made the olympic team roster. And then make your argument, 1 by 1, for why you think Caitlin deserves a roster spot over each of them.

Those loving Clark in here would hate the black player and her fanbase and and those hating Clark would likely like her
The Clark love and hate absolutely race plays a part. Neither side will admit that though…….
But the players themselves I truly don’t think race really plays a part as the majority reason for the hate. They hate some black players and love some black players and they love some white players and hate some white players
LSU and Carolina fought like ghetto queens every game and they were all black. They hated each other
Stewart, plum and taurasi may be the most popular players in the league to other players and are all white

There is a good chance, regardless of her skin color, Clark would have made the team if her fanbase wasn’t psychotic.
So the committee sat in a room and said:
“She deserves to make the team. But we just can’t have all of her fans being happy about it, so we have to leave her off”
“But wouldn’t that mean we will get lots more of those fans watching the sport?”
“Doesn’t matter. We have to leave her off to spite them”

The committee literally admitted the reaction of her fans while she sat the bench would have been unneeded controversy
I think they sometimes bring rookies in that don’t deserve the team on merit. Which would be Clark. They chose not to this year because of the above

Nothing about Clark being white is unique. There have been plenty of white wnba superstars and leaders.
So what’s unique about Clark? Oh, her fan base is unique? Well let’s exclude that fan base!!
Or is she unique because she’s doing something no woman player has ever done before and everyone is jealous?

All of the other guards: I never made a point to watch them play.
Clark: I’ve made a point to watch her play.

How many times are you going to move the goal posts? Sincerely?

CC22 not being on the team is an insane mistake and whoever would profit from it left TONS of jersey money on the table because of it.
But whatever. It will probably help fuel CC22 to be even better.

The interest and viewership she brings outweighs any slight “edge” any other guard has over her skill wise. If she were a mediocre player with a huge fan base only because of her off the court antics/instagram posting or whatever that’d be one thing. Clark’s following was generated 100% by what she did on the court and she is setting rookie records.
Only a small minority of her fans would have taken offense to her only playing a limited role on the team. She is a historic player who should be wearing the Olympic jersey.

It doesn’t matter what we all do as Black women, we’re still going to be swept underneath the rug. That’s why it boils my blood when people say it’s not about race because it is.”
But sure, it’s the MSB posters that are making this all up lol

Missed it
But my main point stands. As far back as ESPN has stats, there's literally only been 3 other women to average over 4 turnovers per game.
Alyssa Thomas this year at 4.1
Angel McCoughtry at 4.1 in 2013
And Becky Hammon at 4.1 in 2007
Not only she is dead last over the past 17 seasons but by a very wide margin at 5.6 per game. She had 8 for her last game so its not like she's trending up. You can't win with that

Because money and growing the sport would easily outweigh the value that having CC22 instead of the last guard selected before her would bring.
