    HUMONGOUS MISTAKE!!! From now on, no one should ever whine about WNBA players being underpaid, or not experiencing the same affluence as compared to their male NBA counter parts! You had your once in a lifetime chance to make a quantum leap growth spurt in the Women’s Basketball not just locally but globally , but you blew it because you let your emotions, politics, and ignorance get in your way. The victim here is not just Caitlin Clark but all the new and potential women’s basketball viewers locally and globally that you denied! Like the great philosopher Charles Barkley said: “STOP being so petty and jealous”. There’s no one else to blame but yourselves! Do better!

    The Olympic team has rarely had the 12 “best players” ‘96 and ‘08 probably the closest to that. The original dream team had Magic and Bird, who were legends, but past playing years.
    Later teams begged players to play ‘04 but couldn’t get the top talent. This was a missed opportunity to grow the game and bring in new fans

      The team will win gold with their B team. And it’s currently NOT the best 12 players on their roster. So none of these arguments are valid.
      Nobody cared about the women’s league in the USA. That’s why ANY chance to get more exposure (on the international level), to their most popular player would have been great for marketing.

    People just don't understand, he knowledge of basketball concepts far exceed her teammates or even her coach! Half of her turnovers come from her teammates. She would have DOUBLE the assists she has now if her teammates could make the open shots. She would also have less turnovers if she had teammates who could see the blitz coming to her and act accordingly. She would have more points if her teammates knew how to set a damn screen. So on the Olympic team with top level talent, she would fit right in! The issue with CC is she is far more advanced than her whole team!

    Dream team took Bird and Magic who were essentially retired and not top 12 to the Olympics because they didn't need them to win games and their inclusion would popularize the sport immensely. And that's why the men never had to beg for viewers or complain about being under compensated.

    *I'm not an WNBA fan so my opinion comes from a common sense perspective.*
    *1) Clark was the women's NCAA basketball Player Of The Year*
    *2) She was the No. 1 overall Draft Pick*
    *3) She Will most likely be the WNBA Rookie Of The Year*
    *4) She Is currently the Face Of The WNBA*
    *5) She's Top 20 in the WNBA, can play and hold her own
    *6) She Is the American and International #1 WNBA fan favorite*
    *7) Her presence & participation increases WNBA visibility & Olympic viewership*
    *8) She brings more curiosity to Women's Pro Basketball*
    *9) Game viewership both on TV and in the stadium increases*
    *10) More advertising, revenue, jersey sales and recognition comes to the players*
    *Clark has enough cachet to be on Women's Olympic Basketball team and the U.S Women can still win the Gold Metal and still reap all the benefits, her taking another players spot won't be detrimental to the team accomplishing it's goal, how can anyone not cease a gifted opportunity, capitalized on it and just go with it, because it makes to much sense?*
