      I believe this is more of the WWEBA getting people riled up. Their will be an "injury" to one of the previously selected players and she will get placed on the team. Tada, magic! It might just be 2 injuries and we will get Angel on there, too! Watch out, cat fight....MEOW!

      I don't see how some one that has been playing Pro ball for under a month - irrespective of their numbers could play at all. Just making the transition from college to the pros should be enough to disqualify her for some time. I tried to find definitive qualification rules but couldn't. IMHO, had she gone pro last year I would also be on the why isn't she there chorus. As it stands the proof is still in process. Clean qualifications are sure to come.

    This was totally a racist, privileged and corrupt decision by the Olympic committee. To say she did not have the experience is a cop out. She has maturity beyond her years and certainly has more common sense and maturity than most of the WNBA players combined.

      I’m watching the WNBA because of Caitlin. I’ve never paid attention to either the WNBA or our woman’s USA b-ball team in the past… and I’m not liking what I’m seeing of the league so far; a lot of pettiness it seems to me. I think Caitlin represents a ‘new day’ for that league and, as Magic and Bird transformed the NBA, much needed change is in the offing for what appears to me at first glance, a low-class league. The Big Ten and SEC know how to market themselves. The owners of the WNBA teams need to learn some lessons it seems to me if raising the level of their product puts more money in their pockets. They’re getting viewership now. How long will that continue. I’m about ready to tune out myself.

Snubbing CC is already having a backlash effect, and people will now continue to not give a shit about the women's Olympic basketball team. If anything, many people will root for them to lose. These women are so petty that they are willing to shoot their golden goose because she gets more attention than they do.

    Disrespect the game because of popularity? Thought the "game"s biggest problem all these years had been a lack of popularity. A comet of a player comes along and the decision is " nah, we don't care about popularity, we'd rather take a 42 year old and an injured player who hasn't been on court all year." Can see why women's basketball has struggled commercially for so long. They don't have any regard for what the fans want and act arbitrarily to the point of self-sabotage. For instance,I keep hearing " it's a very physical league". Meaning they effectively encourage the players to foul indiscriminately and the officials to blow in a haphazard, inconsistent way. Diminishes the product and makes it look scrappy and chaotic. Not entertaining at all.

    She's a rookie but her performance should have earned her a spot on the team. It was also the right business decision because her presence would have increased viewership. But the WNBA is not a financially self-sustaining enterprise. When you are subsidized, your revenue is guaranteed regardless of performance. This reduces the rigor that normally determines business decisions and allows more room for them to be influenced by pettiness and jealousy. She was omitted so as not to antagonize other players. It is a sad commentary about women's basketball in the US.

      I disagree with subsidizing the WNBA, but I don't disagree with helping the poor. Blaming the poor for their poverty is the favorite trick of the wealthy. The reason we have a problem with poverty is that the rich pay Congress to pass bills that reduce their taxes. It's been happening for over 50 years. It is the main reason so many people are dissatisfied with the government. It isn't a government of the people, by the people, and for the people anymore. It is an oligarchy that serves the interests of the rich at the expense of everyone else. If we are going to solve our political problems we must make the economics work for everyone.

    The thing that really gets me is Diana Taurasi talking about how she had great vets who took her under their wing when she was a rookie on team USA. It doesn't compute in her brain that she is now the vet, and she chooses to be overly critical of a 22 year old rookie, and I suspect sicced her college coach on her.

      Taurasi is a lesbian and Caitlin is not. That’s her bias.
      Caitlin is who the fans want, and fans are what women’s basketball needs. Badly. Listen to the fans. They are your customers and your way forward. You don’t get many chances like this, maybe only this one. Quit being stupid and put Caitlin on the team. Fail to do that and the WNBA could be done.

Apparently none of the clowns who made this decision to leave Caitlin off the team get that. Its always about them. The vast majority of us Americans want Caitlin on OUR team representing us and what we value and stand for. She is not a tatted up militant activist who thinks she should use her fame to push her personal opinions and political views on the public. She simply and humbly works hard to do her best, be as good a person as she can, and to entertain us with her tremendous athletic gifts. That is why she is loved by us and hated by the WNBA. Sad, but true.

Instead of seizing the opportunity, women's basketball going to squander it through pettiness and bigotry. Caitlin Clark needs to keep playing her game, make her money, and get out early. Let the league go where it is going to go. As a Tennessean, I learned to respect the game when Pat Summitt was coaching the Lady Vols. Few have done as much for the game as she did.
