Do you think she should be on the Olympic team?
@NickiSwift the only rookie I want to see is Li Y. 💜💛🌟 from the LA SPARKS 💜💛🌟 because she's playing for her home country China and she is definitely an epic player who well, y'all need to watch Li and all of the rookies in the league weather they're in the Olympics or not because this is only the first half of the season. Y'all have until a little after September starts to check out a game and pick a team any team and have fun oh and bring the family.
@NickiSwift September is postseason.
Well.... Of COURSE.
Yes
Yes, but it is getting a little late to do that. She hasn't practiced with the team and doesn't know their plays or anything. It would be a shame to add her at the last minute and then not use her much. But knowing Caitlin she'd find a way to make herself useful.
2:04 "Marketing was not factored in choosing the roster." And they actually moan about the fact nobody watched women's basketball these last 20 years. The people in charge here are truly stupid.
Neither was skill, ability and results!
@@vfincalifExactly. If how well one is playing is the factor, then Clark should definitely be on the team.
Playing the devil's advocate, people clearly need to spend a little time to get a feel for Clark's style of play. So if she is going to be on the team, they need to make that call now.
Marketing value always matter
@@skttnm Thing is, they are supposed to be PROS, not Amateurs......They should be able to adapt to each other pretty quickly, especially since they all played with each other in other Olympics, and played against each other in WNBA....
@@1flash3571 I understand and pretty much agree. But team chemistry is still important if the competition is competitive. That takes a little time, even for the pros. The women will benefit because their global competition is pretty much non-existent That will hide a ton of flaws. The men, when the global pool of talent catches up, will lose. Even our men's NBA player started losing on the world stage because they didn't play together all year like many of the Euro national teams.
Clark would be the only reason I would watch women’s team USA
Same here.
I always watch because i root for America but I’ll be much more excited about it
@Doomguy9OOO yeah but it's not really patriotic as all they are, are a bunch of black lesbians throwing a ball through a hoop. How is that American
She’s the only reason why I watch the WNBA😊
💯 she is face of women basketball period.
A world audience wants to see her.
Yes, and for that reason alone I would add her to the team. The $ponsors would love it. The sweet moola would come rolling in, Caitlin style.
CAITLIN CLARK
SHOULD TELL THE OLYMPICS
“THANK YOU”
BUT “NO THANK YOU”😊
🇺🇸🦅🗽
Bro that works be funny 😂😂😂
she should but wont, she will go and play with something to prove
Excellent point and who could blame her. And the possibility for the Olympics to make millions of dollars will cut a lot ties. Regards, Denis Berte'
@@MM-rr1kp I agree she ought to walk away. This has become a Beatlemania situation. They grew to hate their public. Everyone wants a piece of Caitlin. Leave her alone.
I am with you. The world is trying to get a piece of her. The world can see her play another half season. Just allow her to be. I predict she will soon turn away; she is very exposed. It's her choice. I admire her for valuing her faith, sports, family. She's played ball since her final year at Iowa - since November. World, Give Her Space.
Clark's passing skills are unbelievable.
It’s really the court vision but yes that leads to passing and making plays in general. Never seen a woman play like that before lol. It’s wild.
Across the World if Caitlyn Clark is on Team USA, there will be 75M+ watching them...a Marketing DREAM...
Remember, ".....Money talks suckers walk....." Regards, Denis Berte' USMC
They are not worried about marketing? That is exactly one of their main problems😂. Here is a player who gets that kind of attention and you don't want it?
It's ridiculously stupid and obviously stems from jealousy.
It's the Olympics? Olympics has always gotten mass attention and worldwide. Loads of people who doesn't watch a lot of sports in general, are willing to watch Olympic sports in those times whenever they can (best players in the games and that goes for all the Olympic sports and people want to see the best of the best). Plus, women's basketball is worldwide and well known from many other countries that play it and as a popular sport. Also, from many of those countries, the WNBA is highly regarded, well known to them, and the main goal to play for the WNBA. The WNBA is and will be fine for them and for international sports fans (though yes, I've heard it's hard for them to watch the games, but are die hard fans of their WNBA teams). It's mostly the lot of new people who are watching professional sports for the very first time, think the WNBA is in a little bubble and not having a clue what professional sports is in general. Also, the WNBA has nothing to do with the Olympic games. They're completely two different organizations.
@@marleymarss dont matter it would gain even more attention if clark was on the team, and diana taursi is injured now and caitlin clark beat her team twice
Indiana fever are moving up the ladder because of caitlin clark its time we recognize her impact
@@aohjii She choose not to do the Olympic training camps and wanted to play for her team to try to win that Chip. That is where people are forgetting. It should be fair for every player to go through necessary process, otherwise, bias. Diana, isn't injured anymore, it happens in every sports. In the 1st game, Dian scored more than her. Since you wanna compare. But yes, the Mercy team has lost to them and I think they got 2 more games. All good competitiveness (how would Fever lose a 31 point lead and nearly lost though?). Fever is still struggling to be in the top 8 to at least be in the run for a champion, but I hope they continue to improve. What do you mean it's time to recognize? Athletes as been and coaches has well said her impact. Ya'll don't need to keep saying "well recognize". It's all obvious. Otherwise, ya'll are sounding like those annoying KPOP entitled fans and being so overly critical of everybody, expect for the people you seemingly like.
If she goes, I watch every game.
I hope she says, I have other plans
she should say "no thank you, I made plans".
yup
"I'm getting my hair done"
That’s just stupid. Olympics happen every 4 years. It’s your opportunity to show the world who you are. If she has an opportunity she should take it. Rejecting them because they didn’t pick you is a childish mentality
@@swamhtet1070 and if the coach is a racist bigot who resents you? 🤔
@@swamhtet1070 Not picking someone who is better because you are jealous is childish mentality. They have played enough games to go by stats period
She needs to be on our USA Team!!
I agree 💯percent with you 0:07
Could you tell me if my music is good been grinding for a min now!🫡
Nahh not anymore, if they didn't even consider her to begin with then why add her in now. No point
@@droptopp3479 The committee's mindset is caught up in pretentiousness and chock full of envy.
If I was Clark, I wouldn't go. They made their original choice. They can deal with the backlash and hopefully learn from it.
She should say NO. Make them regret not picking her in the first place
dumb take
Yes, they spurned her. Why should she help them out?
Think if I was Clark and they called saying I was now on the team I say no thanks. Play out my rookie season get some rest then get ready for year 2. They didn't want her at first they don't deserve her now.
how about make it an all ladies team ?
Brittney Griner damn sure should not be on the Olympics Women's basketball team Wasn't the male transgender swimmer banned. Why not Griner?
Larry, I mean... 'Lia' Thomas
agree
Lol DT was on the Olympic team 20 years ago....let the new blood in!
Clark should be on the team. Period.
Funny how that works. They realized it was a really, really bad look for the league.
I think it was a decision motivated by petty and maybe even racist concerns. Clark should be on the team due to her talent.
She’s talented but it’s not like she’s been destroying the WNBA.
@@KaelynLang23 The WNBA can’t be destroyed any further. Only Clark can build it up to a respectable level.
@@fcf777 I mean like she hasn’t done what she did in college. In college she averaged 30 points a game, she hasn’t done that in the WNBA yet. She is improving each game, but she doesn’t have as much experience as the players on the Olympic team.
@@fcf777Why must she carry that responsibility?
Please don't take Angel Brick Reese
She should deny them the invite and wish them better luck next time, stating she is busy at the moment, while she sits on her couch watching anything else!!!
People from all over the world will come to see her in the Olympics. She's a crowd drawer WHEREVER and WHENEVER !!!
SHE'LL RAISE REVENUES!
How many different nationalities are fans of Caitlin Clarks? International superstar ❤ big fan from Ireland here!
No one is "stepping aside," Taurasi is injured. If they can find a way to keep CC off the roster, they will, women do not like being upstaged.
Diana Taurasi - Karma. . .
So Nike spoke to Taurasi, a Nike athlete, to replace her with their prize possession....just ask Jaylen Brown 😅
Better alone than with bad company
She should not go. The bias is disgusting
Clark is much BIGGER than the "committee" ... They NEED Her..
But, She doesn't need them.
@@CanopusJupiter I agree. Team USA is in a jam - and now they want her. Incredulous😂
Absolutely she should go. You go girl ❤ 0:35
No
It's apparent that the forces that BE DID NOT want CC on the Olympic team. Now, it is apparent that the forces that BE are doing some CLEAN UP
Why should Caitlin help them out of their jam
so they will.have someone to blame?
It would be nice if CC was able to play in the Olympics. She deserves to be able to play in the Olympics.
Caitlin's so classy, she'll probably offer up someone else who is also deserving knowing her time is coming. She's a great person
If marketing doesn't matter or play a factor, then I don't want to hear you complain about your salaries. This is why your league is broke.
She is the best
I think this never ending story should be covered about 29 times a day, but why cut back on this 'important? story?
Is Dianasaur Taurasi even hurt or is she hiding from Caitlin.
Hiding
Someone pulled some major strings to make this happen. I will now watch their games.
“A big boy”! Press conference! Really! Who in this great earth gave a press conference that name-a kindergarten teacher?
FJB
3:04 When it was announced CC wasn’t on Team USA, Taurasi wasn’t sympathetic. She arrogantly answered a question about whether she was able to go as a rookie by saying “Yeah, I went, after winning two national championships in college.”
CC would be the only reason I would ever watch the Olympic team.
Don’t go take the rest and cook the second half of the season
Yes 👍👍👏👏
Maybe they found out that there won't be many people watching the Olympic, so they have to give in, but I would advise Clark just not accept the offer and walk away. Their action at this point, Clark is an after thought.
The Hollywood story will have both Angel Reese, Brionna Jones, and Caitlin Clark substituting Britney Griner, Chelsea Gray, and Diana Taurasi on Team USA, or ABC.
Reese sucks
A few days back a report came out that CC leads the WNBA (veterans AND rookies) in team points = baskets made a player + assists by that player. Sabrina Ionescu was 2nd. It's becoming more and more common for CC to be involved in 1/2 to 2/3 of the Fever's points during a game. Not a bad resume item.
If CC ends up playing on the US Olympic team, and her effect is anything like it has been in the WNBA, viewership and ratings will go through the roof. Not only that but will most likely increase WNBA viewership even more. The people in charge of putting together the 2024 US Women's Olympic basketball team missed a great opportunity by leaving CC off the team. They have a rare second chance now to redeem themselves. Will they take it?
not before the persons who denied her in the first place are gone. CC must show some self-respect. She should say no thank you.
Since they give the snub first, they can go without her for this year. It will be goid for Clark to spend the time and take it easy to figure rhe WNBA and avoid injuries. A lot of HIT WOMAN in the WNBA to figure out and counter.
If she goes does she have to kneel during the playing of the National Anthem? You know like that Russian prisoner on the team
Hell no. She would lose tons of fans including me. The only losers that take knees are the ⚫️’s
CC needs rest. I hope she doesn’t go.
I agree
She should be on team USA!🇺🇸
Aint no way people are watching this without Clark at the olympics.
I genuinely dont understand why people hate when taurasi said reality is coming. In any world how is that not true. We see it in basketball all the time. We r legit seeing it in Caitiln Clark. She's averaging half the points she did in college
Saw Diana come back to play for her Mercury Team. Yeah, she had limited time minutes. But she played just fine for what she can and maybe well enough to play for Paris. More than likely, she's still going to Paris. So BG play as well. Same thing with her, playing just fine. Also, did everyone just forget that CC couldn't do the Olympic tryouts (I think even invited for the tryouts as well)? She choose to continue play for her team to try to get the Championship. Two things happening at the same time, can only do 1 thing. So the whole backlash thing did confuse me. In 4 years time, she'll be on the Olympic team and by then, she'll be a Vet (given for some random reason, people who are new to watching any professional sports, thinks that only playing for 3 years, players are consider as old to them, given the certain attitudes many people have on the other experience players who aren't rookies nor vets). People just needs to be patience rather than demanding and wanting instant gratifications. Playing for any sports for any players, can take some time to get what they want.
Sign her up put her on the team now
When the team was picked, you could make a valid argument Caitlin Clark not in the top 12 players. Since then her play says she is clearly a top 12 player.
Clarks' basketball ethics would compel her to accept an offer from Team USSA. I hope for a "No Offer", I want to see her play rested and revitalized (physically and mentally) All rookies played through their collegiate schedule straight into the pro schedule, but Clark has court time unlike others. She has to be exhausted. I just can't wait to see her play rested
Caitlin, say YES to yourself
Not if she is smart. She avoid it at all costs. She should tell them to shove it.
No one on the current roster is going to step aside knowing it will be Clark everyone wants. They will "fight through" their injuries even though they wont' be played.
Olympic is very important on every sports, its a show case aroud the world
I'm torn. Yes, she SHOULD be on the team. However, having left her off, maybe she should say she's busy.
CC is literally the face of the sport world wide… and the league can’t even prevent players from being vindictive…
What a mess!
No marketing tells you all you need to know
I really don't want her to do it I think she should concentrate on getting her team into the playoffs if possible. They had their chance it didn't want her just leave it at that
People deciding she shouldn't be on the team don't get get it. She is a generational talent. People saying that she shouldn't go if offered don't get it. That would be a classic example of cutting off your nose to spite your face. I will only watch if Caitlin is playing. Period.
If I was her, I would refuse the invite. Stay back, get some rest and then make the playoffs.
That’s what I was saying too. 😂
❤ YES ! This is a. Good look for. Team. USA. PARIS. Bound
If I was CC, I wouldn't go. "F" 'em!
Not before they got three weeks of drama out of it.
The transition from college to professional play IS grueling and I'd think she should enjoy the time off. . . They'll still be OK w/o her this time. . .
I will watch a Clark pickup game before a USA Olympic game
I WD ADVISE CAITLIN CLARK NOT TO JOIN THE OLYMPIC TEAM....
for sure...she will be benched by cheryl REEVE..AS Reeve openly declared her ANIMOSITY with CAITLIN CLARK..
Why go where you are spurned, criticized, ignored? Team USA just wants her to fill in for injured players.
She will go if asked its an honor to be in the Olympics she is not petty
I might watch now
I sure hope not. She was not a good “fit” according to them. She might be better off resting and smacking the usa team during the all star weekend
I agree: Stay home. Don't do the team any favors. Fever has a chance of moving up in the playoffs roster. I believe the Paris games will be a distraction from the playoffs+ team building.
I hope she doesn't go. The month off will be great for CC. And would she want to play for Reeves?
Dinosaur taurasi was a big part of why she was excluded CC taking her spot is just karma
Caitlin Clark should turn down any request to be on the Olympic team and Team USA. She would not “fit” with the players who are on these teams and would be shunned by the favored players who are there now. It is a shame that this hate and jealousy would influence the outcome of such important games but it is true. Caitlin would not be able to play the game if she doesn’t get the ball in her hands.
amazing, that's how you prove yourself.
Taurasi played in today's game (7/14/2024) along with Griner!!!!
I don't think they pick CC because of CC and AR duo in all star game.
I hope If asked CC was asked that she would say no thank you to being on the Olympic team
Clark & Reese should go, & leave Taurasi & Griner home.... (as they are injured),...
DT & BG don't need another ring.... But for the sake of legacy, Clark should be on this team to Paris. Reese going wont hurt anything either.
Also, if we want to send a good message about how former rivals can come together to represent the USA, Clark & Reese, on the court together is the way to do it!! It could be such a beautiful thing.
Honestly, stepping down to allow Caitlin Clark into the Olympics would only cement your name in the history books. Versus going playing, and nobody remembering who you are.
They know everyone in France will boycott the usa games if they get robbed of seeing the GOAT Clark. My opinion
to me she should say no way but her personality won't allow her to say that so if asked she will go even though i wish she wouldn't. but i think it will be great for the team for her to go because the worldwide fans will go and watch. their games will be watched more than any one before. better have a lot of merch to sell so not to look like her own team to sell a limited CC jersey and it sold out in 18 minutes and no restock or at the beginning even Nike dropped the ball at first because her merch sold out also. look at Wilson and the CC balls. all are sold out.
Why would she want it now?
I think she should join an olympic team. The team clostest to American talent, and play with them. Then they will beat the American tean because the coach and team mates will help her instead on hinder her
I hope not. She being playing for months now without much rest. She need to stay home and practice with her wnba team and Improve their chemistry for the second half of the season.
Her agent can state Caitlin doesn't have to play more than 20 minutes a game. They usually rotate players so everyone plays.
stop talking, please
She's played since November. After the SC/Iowa championship she's been constantly in the go: Draft. Preseason. Regular season. Moving to Indy. Coaching hassled. High-octane play. Caitlin: Assertively Decline.
ROFL!! CC for the win, for women's hoops!!
It was racism that she didn't make the team to begin with.
Nope. Because Ionescu, Plum, and Stewart made the team. It is because the lesbians don't like her and the head coach is a lesbian.
Taurasi. What is she like, 50 or something? SMH
CC should take her talents to Europe
Taurasi is old enough to be Clark’s mom (if she weren’t a lesbian). Get Taurasi the hell off the team. She has been there five times before!
2:20 I’m over the “committee” factors and rules and purview…
They should relegated to RECOMMENDING a lineup, maybe a few options… but then the grown ups should have made the decision.
This league appears to be caddy, immature, and childish.
Let's face it. Putting Caitlin Clark on the 2024 Olympic Team is a NO BRAINER. Put her on!! se, se. CC.
Ok I'm going to call it
Remember when Lee Humphrey delayed the championship game when he burned the net off the goal with 3 pointer after 3 pointer when the Gators won the back to back championship
"CC is going to do it in the gold medal game"
FACT ✔️
This is beautiful irony
I hope she denies, now they need her, sorry take the time to rest, she’s been playing herd since November, I don’t think she was an alternate either
