Wtf are you talking about dude? That's plainly not true. To be a mother or a woman is a hero's journey, although as a man you can't see that. You guys think we get things easily, but that's not true. Maybe for spoiled, rich, pretty girls but most women, just like men who are short or skinny, basically anyone who seems weak, has a hero's journey cause they have to persevere in a world that mistreats them. Don't overgeneralize inaccurately. Yeah, some women might be like that. But that's definitely a minority. Also, don't forget, America doesn't represent the whole world, it is a fraction of it and most women in the world have very underpriviliged lives. I was born and raised in a dictatorship and I can tell you I have had to fight for everything I've gotten in my life, especially respect.
The WNBA is mired in the past, captive of too many irrelevant old "stars" like 42 year old Diana Turasi who herself was put on the US Women’s Olympic Team as a rookie. Turasi has five gold metals already, but apparently needs to have six and is willing to keep America’s most exciting young female basketball player off the team to get that sixth medal. Clark was not chosen by the WNBA leadership because of its concern over how Caitlin Clark’s millions of fans would react to what would likely be limited playing time. Putting their heads together, the WNBA leadership, instead of giving Caitlin Clark limited playing time, decided to give Caitlin zero playing time, and kept her off the team. Brilliant. What is the WNBA leadership concerned about now? They need not be concerned about anything. No one will be caring or watching.
I am a woman and I don’t watch any of those women fighting each other and Bickering with each other shows. I’ve heard about them over the years, but shows like bad girls club & real housewives of (insert. Something city) have never been my forte. Plus I’ve been a basketball fan for as long as I can remember. I was born and bred a Lakers fan from the late 90s. I will admit that I have never watched any WNBA games before Caitlin Clark & I’ve never watched any women’s college basketball games seriously before I found out about Caitlin Clark at Iowa. I used to play basketball myself and of course there’s going to be some competitiveness and little shoving on the court and stuff but the WNBA is making the drama or they’re creating drama to be the focus instead of the actual game. Caitlin Clark even said to herself she said basically that she wishes the WNBA would focus more on basketball and what happens on the court between the teams instead of feeding into the narrative or continuing the conversation that veteran WNBA players are talking about Caitlin Clark saying that she’s only there because she’s white, Straight, Catholic and has pretty privilege. The WNBA needs to realize that without Caitlin they wouldn’t be getting these charter flights. Yes, the other girls in the rookie class are good but they weren’t the ones getting endorsement deals and bringing money at attention to the WNBA by Caitlin is.
They already have an injured player on the team. Woman hasn’t played this season. So they are trying to tell us the woman will be in basketball shape by the time the Olympics start….FOH

Things I heard of since Caitlin Clark saturation: *Women's basketball won the last 7 gold Olympic medals *WNBA was hemorrhaging *Hierarchy and intersectionality is alive and well (with women) *Angel Reese
The Olympic 3 on 3 games so sooooo much better. All women's basketball should be 3v3. Hailey van Liith is a dawg on the 3v3 games. It's so much more fun to watch
CC playing on the Olympic team is such an obvious thing to do but the WNBA is so delusional they think we watching to watch all the women play 😂😂😂. Naw we here to watch CC shot 3s!
One key item in USA Basketball's mission statement is "Its mission is to promote, grow, and elevate the game of basketball." Women's basketball is at a critical moment in time with its best and most popular female ambassador they have ever had. 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.
The Olympics is not like the Wnba. I would think the viewership would be there because women's international basketball has grown, and the overall talent has gotten much better.
If i am an NBC exec and Caitlin gets dropped, I will be so mad and call Silver and who the fuck runs WNBA that what are you doing. Its olympics but also a TV show
It is an all female league. It is already drama. People wanna watch good basketball and she is the only player that is consistently good. Women are jealous and the black girls in particular are going after her because they are jealous. I see Caitlin toss a Magic or Bird pass and then they miss a lay up. She is drawing eyes to women's basketball and the other ladies are gonna ruin it with jealousy.
I think Andrew is wrong…..the appeal of CC is her family friendly appeal that she isn’t all drama, talking crap about other players, she keeps it more classy. If you want families taking kids to games to grow attendance, etc….more players need to be like CC, not the real housewives.
They trying to say that Clark isn’t as good as the other players but her numbers are comparable to a few of the other players and no one is guarded as hard as clark.
WNBA is a total business failure if WNBA doesnt know how to market these rookie batch. They bring significant eyeball and they dont know how to capitalize it. In basketball merit side, these rookies are breaking WNBA record in stats fyi
49 year old Australian male here, I'll watch the Aussie women's team and would have watched the US games with CC on the team...now I'll only watch the US if they play Australia....
Next subject please ,I don’t mind talking about the wnba but we aren’t talking about the wnba we talking about 1 person left off the Olympics team ,not 1 interview about this talked about basketball
Imagine arguing that Livvy Dunne should be on the Olympics gymnastic team just because she's popular. Put Sha'Carri on the women's track team just because she's popular. It's the freaking Olympics. It's literally about being the best at what you do. Diana Taurasi at 42 is way better than Caitlin Clark. She really isn't even top 30 in the WNBA based on her play right now.
Is it a diss or is it she's an WNBA rookie? She's been as hyped as hyped can be. Great numbers compared to other players, but she's still a rookie. If she keeps playing like she is, or better I'm sure, then she'll definitely be picked next time. It's just a next level prove yourself thing. Also, the teams picked have won 8 golds in a row. And they go with experience. No diss Imho.
Diana Taurasi,Candace Parker, Breanna Stewart was on the team as rookies. The main goal of women's basketball is trying to get paid like men so that w can be like the nba, where the best play and make the most money.
@@mantrell502 I'm not suggesting I don't think she should've been chosen. Just pointing at a possible reason other than diss. Arike Ogunbowale and Angel Reese weren't picked. Ogunbowale is the biggest surprise IMHO. Money parity with the NBA would be great. Parity has to be looked at in whole. 40 games per year up to 82 first. That will raise revenue to help pay for higher salaries/contracts. The same demand would also have to be shown by WNBA and NBA fans. Tickets sold, merchandise sold, probably even concessions, etc. This isn't my idea, it's just big business. I'm not down with big business, I just think a lot. I got nothin but love for ya ladies. And respect. Do your thing.
@@bubbaho-tep1875 It seems that she was not chosen because her style of play, "The Steph Curry Way", is incompatible with the rest of Team USA, the Pre-Curry approach. IT would be like 2014 Steph, but as a rookie, trying to play with 2004 Shaq and KG. They would tell him, "Stop jacking up 3s and get us the ball in the post!"
@@bubbaho-tep1875Arike didn’t get picked because she pulled her name out of consideration. Her shot chucking probably wouldn’t have meshed well with the rest of the team!
@@kennethsmith6367 it's only men creating drama not the women only men crying about how they supposedly hating on her when no one has said anything negative about her .
@@BigDic-qz8su Whatever! If you are unable to see reality and need these women to tell you what you are seeing. That is a you problem that most men don’t suffer from.
Getting straight women to care about the WNBA is like getting straight men to care about Bridgerton. A fool's errand that is being pushed by the media/cooperations it will not change much, at least in the near term. lol. We'll see what happens in years to come.
The fact the Andrew thinks women only watch reality tv or like to see other women attack each other really kind of speaks to the quality of women he is around. Bc nobody I know does that. SMH
If DT and BG would give up their spots to CC and Angel Reese publicly for the good of WNBA they woul gain everyone's respect instantly, they don't need another medal what they need is everyone showing them an appreciation for their place in women's hoops history not this greedy eff all you all attitude
Not Caitlin hater , but only Americans would make the argument, to allow an Olympic place based on money . Imagine if it was there daughter missing the last spot 🤦♂️
@@joeb2650yall not being realistic, last Olympic Games the women Olympics team did 8 million views, Clark not doing anything for those numbers. The wnba is not the Olympics.
They was saying on the radio that she got left off the team because the fans would be mad that she would get less playing time. But fr I think the fever wouldn't let her go because shes the only person who scores on that team. But yeah I think the fever wants her to stay so they can win and I think the wnba wants her to stay so there can be some semblance of basketball being played during fever games to try to maintain an audience. But once ANY other sport starts I won't be keeping up with wnba.
She is not on the team because, to this point, she hasn’t shown that she is a proven winner at this level, look at her team’s record, 3-10. They could easily be 1-12.
I'm just going to point out that Britney Griner has publicly announced her hatred of America and was still picked for America's team. Even if Clark was chosen I still wouldn't watch.
The rookies who went in the past were playing within a system which fit with what the Olympic team would do. The Caitlin Clark Catch-22 is that she is getting attention because her style is so different, but that makes it harder for her to fit with a strong team. She'll figure it out in the next couple of years.
@@brandoncool63 They players who went in the past were not there for garbage time. Use whatever you need to deny that Clark is not a better rookie than any of them. Being the all-time scoring champion is spectacular, but less useful for winning, than it seems. Consider who has the men's record: Pistol Pete Maravich. One of the flashiest players, but one of the least effective superstars.
I have to say Diana was right about Caitlin, Caitlin has not performed the way you guys think she would. I don’t think she was lying, she was telling her the W was more physical than College.
Common sense would tell you the pros are different than college so there was no need to say it… Caitlin is not being used properly by her coach and is playing to keep her teammates involved so she won’t be called a ball hog. Her teammates clearly don’t have a connection with she is defended much harder and physically than any other player.
The gap between team USA and other countries is much smaller than you think. Guards were USA issue last olympics and was the issue during the trials this yr. So if you want to go for a gold medal again, you have to send out your best team and not favorites individuals.
Thank you! It seems that the pundits I watch miss a point here. Complaining about targeting Clark. That's drama! That is why you talk about it! People are interested BECAUSE so many vets are jealous. I'm glad finally somebody gets it. And of course, in a way it sucks for Caitlin but it's good for sport.
Clark should definitely be on the team just to bring attention and money to the sport. the team is going to win gold regardless. theyve won gold since 1996 and yet they get no real attention at all. ZERO!!! finally you have someone that brings attention to the game and these clowns keep her off the team. thats how you know the people running wnba/us womens basketball are idiots. I dont want to hear about low wages, no media coverage, no charter flights or anything else these people want to whine about when they are willing to shoot themselves in the foot
wtf? so you dont want Clark taking a roster spot on US basketball, a sport she plays, but you want her to take a spot from a analyst when Clark has never done that job before?
CC needs time to adjust, you think WNBA is physical? Wait till you see European team play. Also she is not consistent the past 4 games she did 3 single digit points.
I think that first guy needs to reevaluate his concept of "women". Thats all they watch, all they care about. Uhhmmm....maybe you need to meet a real woman.
its funny you bring up the dream team that dream team did not have THE best nba players. magic was retired they brought him out of retirement and bird retired that year cause of his bad back he could barely play. but they brought bird and magic because they were the faces of the league prior to jordan and they SAVED the nba. the nba and their championship games (the finals) were on fucking tape delay bird and magic saved them and jordan then just took the league to a whole other level but bird and magic were not the best of the best at that moment in time. the 1 college kid they brought was not better than shaq was in college. the most well known story of MJ not wanting isaiah thomas on the team (but not just MJ pippen, magic, bird, barkley) many other players did not like him and didn't want him on the team. if we are going just best of the best he should of been on the team so this isn't new the out rage that CC wasn't on the womans olympic team that dream team yes was there to win gold but it also was a business move
When are you all going to cover the leaked video of Britney Griner shooting baskets a pool party with he/she shirt off? Would it not be illegal for he/she to play on the USA women's team?
I'm a Soccer fan, (#InterMiami) but, #CaitlinClark is the good and only reason to watch Basketball games that she play !!! IT WOULD BE LIKE IF ARGENTINA WOULDN'T CALL MESSY FOR THEIR NATIONAL TEAM. THE ENVY OF OTHER WOMEN PLAYERS IS REALLY SOOOO OBVIOUS AND IT STINKS !!!
This is women’s world sports we’re talking about. USA could run out the eighth grade women’s team and they would look like Giants compared to the rest of the world teams.
IM A NEW FAN TO THE WNBA BECAUSE OF CAITLIN! AND UR RIGHT, the bullying has only caused me to want to support her even more! FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I'm buying a jersey to support my favorite player!
Trading the russian "merchant of death" for griner is still one of most idiotic decisions we've ever made
Was a great move.

He was about to be released anyway. He didn’t have a life sentence. The trade wasn’t bad
The was the most significant trade involving a WNBA player.

You are aware baseball season is happening right now?🤣😂🤣
She is not on the team because, to this point, she hasn’t shown that she is a proven winner at this level, look at her team’s record, 3-10. They could easily be 1-12.
CC has better stats than Dianna, and 1 of the players hasn't played this season. What we talking about?
Hey maybe Caitlin Clark can get an Olympic Jersey to wear around house.
I'm just going to point out that Britney Griner has publicly announced her hatred of America and was still picked for America's team. Even if Clark was chosen I still wouldn't watch.
Thanks for the video 👊🏻
damm andrew makes a really good point actually......
Do sum research. There's been several 1st-round round picks that made the team in the past.
The rookies who went in the past were playing within a system which fit with what the Olympic team would do. The Caitlin Clark Catch-22 is that she is getting attention because her style is so different, but that makes it harder for her to fit with a strong team. She'll figure it out in the next couple of years.
Bro any style fits garbage time at the end of game. All time NCAA leading scoring champion, including men
@@brandoncool63 They players who went in the past were not there for garbage time. Use whatever you need to deny that Clark is not a better rookie than any of them. Being the all-time scoring champion is spectacular, but less useful for winning, than it seems. Consider who has the men's record: Pistol Pete Maravich. One of the flashiest players, but one of the least effective superstars.
I have to say Diana was right about Caitlin, Caitlin has not performed the way you guys think she would. I don’t think she was lying, she was telling her the W was more physical than College.
Common sense would tell you the pros are different than college so there was no need to say it… Caitlin is not being used properly by her coach and is playing to keep her teammates involved so she won’t be called a ball hog. Her teammates clearly don’t have a connection with she is defended much harder and physically than any other player.
It's funny how Shultz sees the Olympics as a business move for the WNBA. How a UA-camr views sports lol. A rookie.
Shulz nailed it
She is rockie, rockie,rockie ,come on.
There isn't a single sport that is driven by female audience...not 1...
That is absolutely a hot take on reality!! 🔥🔥🔥
The gap between team USA and other countries is much smaller than you think. Guards were USA issue last olympics and was the issue during the trials this yr. So if you want to go for a gold medal again, you have to send out your best team and not favorites individuals.
It’s me lindo 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! It seems that the pundits I watch miss a point here. Complaining about targeting Clark. That's drama! That is why you talk about it! People are interested BECAUSE so many vets are jealous. I'm glad finally somebody gets it.
And of course, in a way it sucks for Caitlin but it's good for sport.
The WNBA veterans are not jealous. But the sports media and social media playing up that narrative gets them views.
What’s with the haircut?
Taurasi is 42. She has five gold metals. She is not one of the 12 best players on the Team. She proves the lie that the Team is the 12 best players.
It is not "the 12 best players", it is the 12 players who make the Team the best. Taurasi's experience and leadership contributes to that.
Clark should definitely be on the team just to bring attention and money to the sport. the team is going to win gold regardless. theyve won gold since 1996 and yet they get no real attention at all. ZERO!!! finally you have someone that brings attention to the game and these clowns keep her off the team. thats how you know the people running wnba/us womens basketball are idiots.
I dont want to hear about low wages, no media coverage, no charter flights or anything else these people want to whine about when they are willing to shoot themselves in the foot
Idk about yall but Caitlyn Clark is attractive to me. Angel Reese gota put a lot more to get more attention.
I agree with the decision of the Olympic Committee. .. NBC Sports Network should ask CC to be an analyst for the Olympic games. Have her do interviews
wtf? so you dont want Clark taking a roster spot on US basketball, a sport she plays, but you want her to take a spot from a analyst when Clark has never done that job before?
Akaash doesn't know how Indians look 😂😂
There’s woman sports in the Olympics??? Shouldn’t that be the headline
The three most popular sports in the Olympics all have men's and women's division, and with one, the women are the headliner.
CC needs time to adjust, you think WNBA is physical? Wait till you see European team play. Also she is not consistent the past 4 games she did 3 single digit points.
And the turnovers. Apple, blueberry, cherry, ... So many turnovers.
Akash needs voice deepening supplements
I think that first guy needs to reevaluate his concept of "women". Thats all they watch, all they care about. Uhhmmm....maybe you need to meet a real woman.
its funny you bring up the dream team
that dream team did not have THE best nba players. magic was retired they brought him out of retirement and bird retired that year cause of his bad back he could barely play. but they brought bird and magic because they were the faces of the league prior to jordan and they SAVED the nba. the nba and their championship games (the finals) were on fucking tape delay bird and magic saved them and jordan then just took the league to a whole other level
but bird and magic were not the best of the best at that moment in time. the 1 college kid they brought was not better than shaq was in college.
the most well known story of MJ not wanting isaiah thomas on the team (but not just MJ pippen, magic, bird, barkley) many other players did not like him and didn't want him on the team. if we are going just best of the best he should of been on the team
so this isn't new the out rage that CC wasn't on the womans olympic team that dream team yes was there to win gold but it also was a business move
Omg do research or be quiet
Kick off the one that hates America
They wouldn't have a team bud. Just like our women's soccer team. These ladies are useless.
Angry WNBA = Lesbian Isiah Thomas' and Bill Laimbeers
The WNBA needs its “bad boy era” 80’s pistons type beat
When are you all going to cover the leaked video of Britney Griner shooting baskets a pool party with he/she shirt off? Would it not be illegal for he/she to play on the USA women's team?
Man Schultz is terrible on this subject
I'm a Soccer fan, (#InterMiami) but, #CaitlinClark is the good and only reason to watch Basketball games that she play !!!
IT WOULD BE LIKE IF ARGENTINA WOULDN'T CALL MESSY FOR THEIR NATIONAL TEAM.
THE ENVY OF OTHER WOMEN PLAYERS IS REALLY SOOOO OBVIOUS AND IT STINKS !!!
I’m so tired of this topic
I'm so glad four guys are here to tell us what an entity involving women needs to do to get more of a female audience.
Usually not a fan of this show because I can’t make it past 10 minutes usually. Guess I’ll be going back to old shows and listening. lol
Americans are so far from reality 😂😂 yall know that most of this wnba players also go to play in Europe ?😊
6:31 I love your channel and your audience, I'm gonna comment on ALL your videos for years until I reach your level of subscribers.
Andrew has incel talking points about women… dude you’re on a podcast go build something
you here listening to him getting him views and money. the hell you think hes doing? he is building something
Its a win win. Millions of Americans will now tune in just to hate watch. Just like they did uswnst, and floyd mayweather 😂😂😂😂
wrong. they dont care about basketball that much
Is this that one Beta channel?
It would be funny if some other countrie would give her second citizenship and put her in ther team to get chance to play against usa olimpic team...
Jealous black lesbians don’t want Clark getting all that shine…….
This is women’s world sports we’re talking about. USA could run out the eighth grade women’s team and they would look like Giants compared to the rest of the world teams.
IM A NEW FAN TO THE WNBA BECAUSE OF CAITLIN! AND UR RIGHT, the bullying has only caused me to want to support her even more! FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I'm buying a jersey to support my favorite player!
I think CC is a bad apple just like a lot of players in other sports she is going to bust.
