Clark leads Diana Taurasi in every statistical category (yes, TOs, but also ppg, assists per game, steals, boards). DT has no business taking up a roster spot. Not a single player on the Olympic roster under 26. They talk experience, but how are the young, exciting players supposed to GET experience if you keep giving all the spots to vets who've been there multiple times...
DT is literally matching her within 1 stat point in almost every single category at 42 with FAR lower turnover numbers, vet experience, and she hasn't been playing ball nonstop since November of last year with zero breaks. I agree with the latter point about age, but the men's team is following the same strategy teamwise (bring the vets to dust players on their last run to make up for the FIBA debacle). I see all of the big names from the last two years in college (Clark, Reese, Buekers, etc) anchoring the next few Olympics honestly.
I saw an interview with Turasi who got to play as a rookie - was positively glowing when she spoke of the leadership of the veterans, passing on the wonderful lessons they had learned etc…then they choose not to have that same leadership. Turasi is 42, and that dude Griner is an unpatriotic felon.
the wnba players in the league are acting like 12 year olds they should embrace this 100% but they will not and i hope they fail for that as horrible as that sounds
Listening to WNBA players speak about CC honestly makes me wish she would retire and the WNBA goes out of business and they all lose their jobs and cry about it 😂 I can’t stand these whiny basketball players complain about money and support for their league and finally they get a star people actually want to see and they complain about that.. 🤦🏻♂️
The WNBA is already irrelevant. As for the Olympics, the only reason I WOULD HAVE watched the women's basketball games is if Caitlin Clark was on the team. Logic is not a female trait.
The committee wants Taurasi to be the face of the team and attention...with CC she definitely wouldn't be...yet CC has better stats than 4 of the players not including the injured Gray that hasn't played in 8 months
For her, the rest will do her good, but it’s a totally blown opportunity for international growth of the sport. It’s still possible she may make the team as an alternate should Chelsea Gray not return from injury or someone else on the team falls injured.
Um...sorry but these women only care about winning the gold. If they were to put her on the team, because of public pressure, she wouldn't get much playing time anyway.
@@leslieg.9213that’s very short-sited of them for the good of the sport. While I hate to see Team USA lose, it proved to be a good thing for the men’s game as a whole. I know the purists hate to acknowledge it but marketing and celebrity do matter in growing the game.
The Olympics is not supposed to be about popularity. It's about winning a gold medal and no rookies made the team because they lack international experience. Also Caitlin doesn't play defense.
Ironically, it's the UCONN clic, that group had a lot of elite players thanks to coach Geno, none of the girls have ever played with CC ever, she had never played with a group of elite players for which she'd even be more open for shots...if she played like say 8 minutes with USA with bigger and faster players, she could pop off for a quick 10 points and 3-4 assists...and that's what their afraid of...heck, even legend coach Geno said she should be on it as well as legendary player Lieberman said it's a travesty she's not on...she didn't make the USA training camp this year because she was playing in the college finals, good reason
they all want those million dollar indorsements before they retire. but they might be only remembered for fowl mouthing another member of the team and if they lose who'll remember them at all no indorsements mabe no coaching opportunities
I’d say they fear her. If you’ve noticed, they are always double and triple teaming her from one end of the court to the other. No room to breathe. Not complaining, it’s the only way to stop her from getting 20-30 pts per game.
@@samcalven12 Cute. However - this not the same with ANY other player. Unless of course, the magical CC blinders leave you enamored with the racist lesbians of the league.
A narrator in the video said Caitlin Clark should have been put on the team rather than either Diana Taurasi or Chelsea Gray. He was right. Diana Taurasi averaged 2 pts/game, shooting 23.8%, and didn't play in the gold medal game. Chelsea Gray averaged 1.3 pts/game, shooting 16.7%, although she led the team in assists with 5.2/game. Neither player made the All-WNBA 1st or 2nd teams. Caitlin made 1st team and was WNBA rookie of the year. Most likely, Taurasi was put on the team so she could set a record by winning her 6th gold medal playing in the Olympics.
She wasn’t able to attend Team USA practices because she was actively participating in the NCAA Tournament. She literally had barely two weeks off between her final college game, getting drafted and starting her professional career. There’s plenty of valid reasons for her not to be on this Olympic roster. She’s not the first rookie that didn’t make an Olympics team.
She almost seems like a modern-day female Larry Bird. Regardless of if she plays on team USA or not, the older generations should show support. They don't have to like her to show respect to her... they seem more insecure when they act like that.
Do you know why those people respect Larry? Because he went into the NBA, would bust their ass, and he'd tell them how he'd do it in the process. He's throw hands with people on court and get mad when they put white defenders on him because it was "too easy". She has a great game and will be a great WNBA player, but she has to earn that respect from people who have been in the W grinding.
It's not jealousy, it's racism. When USA Today writes an article like this: "It matters that the faces of the future' of women's college basketball are Black" it's hard to deny there is overt racism happening here. This is exactly what we get for telling black people they are incapable of being racist. I was about to be a new women's team USA fan, but I will be intentionally avoiding it now.
I was going to say something similar but my babysitters at UA-cam always delete my comments like that right after i make them. Not only does the left wing media try to push public opinions and mindsets, but then they also censor people with differing opinions, even if it's said as a respectful but factual opinion or statement. We're sinking as a country
I agree with you Daz 💯%. American football started in 1983-4 When channel 4 was new. They started airing truncated games. They cut a 3 1/2 hour game to 1 hour. That kinda sucked but we were grateful to able see American football in any capacity.
Of course everyone was using in cycling at the time. Lance dared to challenge the 5 title 'gentlemans agreement ' that was in place under the table. So then he was pursued by the organization who otherwise allowed drug use while pretending that the others weren't also juicing.
Yes the title is quite misleading. Funny I can see both sides of the argument for and against everyone continuing to make Caitlin the face of the WNBA and USA women's basketball. The comparison to Wemby is also misleading because the NBA is not promoting him as some savior for the league and promoting him over the other established veteran stars. Because if they did, you would see jealousy and envy from LeBron, KD and company too!! Ego is a necessary thing among competitive athletes. Caitlin hasn't proven herself on the professional level yet, so veterans and legends of women's basketball are not anointing her as their messiah. On the other hand, her popularity and fanbase has moved the needle more financially and exposure wise than anyone prior to her and they all should put aside their petty jealousy to capitalize on this rare moment of momentum. In the long run, it will benefit them all. We live in a new age where super stardom can be achieved in moment. And people will immediately began compare new young stars to veteran legends that have stood the test of time. Just think if we were comparing brilliant and successful college QB's to Brady, Montana, Elway as rookies and before they've won anything. We'd be saying whoa! on all of that talk until they've done something on this level. Success in college doesn't always translate to the pros. I live near Seattle and watched Kelsey Plum break the single season scoring record as a senior in the 2016-17 season for the Univ of Washington. Scoring a mind blowing 1,109 points. She was one of the most prolific scorers the NCAA women's game has ever seen. She was the number #1 pick in the WNBA's 2017 draft. So far she has had a very good professional career but she didn't come in and set the league on fire and Caitlin probably won't either. Just because the media and fans make them a star doesn't mean that the other experienced players that they have to compete against every night are going to be awed by them and show them and mercy. When Tony Kukoc came into the NBA as a heralded European player, the NBA players were keen to show him that he had to prove himself here in this league. Even his team mates treated him with scorn and were jealous of the attention he was getting.
The title is wrong. She did not get kicked off of team USA. She didnt make the team USA roster. She is a good basketball player, but she has not been training with the Team USA for the last three years like everyone else has that did make the team. Not to mention the USA womens team have been dominating basketball since 1996. Meaning they have won gold every single time. Maybe if she trains with the team and tryout she can make the team in the next Olympics. Nobody is jealous of her and she is not entitled to a roster spot. Her numbers in the league are not that great. Her team is not that great, so im confused on why people think she should just be handed everything. She is not in college anymore. She has to earn a spot just like everyone else. If you are upset at Caitlan Clark by not making the team but you are not equally upset at the Fact Angel Reese didnt make the team than that says everything about you. Angel Reese is leading all rookies in every stat category this year and didnt make the team. Alot of people want Caitlan on the team because of her popularity, so just say that instead of saying she was done wrong.
A lot of nonsense. Clark has better stats than some of the 12 that were picked. With or without clark the US team will win gold, so adding her wouldn't hurt them and it will help boost their recognition. I never cared about the wnba and i ain't giving two hoots now. The US has been won 7 consecutive gold medals and nobody knows or care# about them or it. For the first time people do and it's because of the excitement of Clark. So go ahead, if you want low viewership and still win a medal you have won for 7 consecutive years, okay. And people still don't understand why women aren't smart. Men will continue earning and cashing in more.
You're so wrong lol. She's the most popular women's basketball player in Earth AND team USA will win regardless. It's the biggest mistake in women's sports history to bot put her on. Ive never watched a second on women's USA basketball. Like many others I would at least be curious to see how she does. Now my total time watched will remain at zero seconds. Honestly not I really don't want to to watch.
The guy made an excellent case for her to be on the team based on history. There's absolutely jealousy. Just look again at the example in the video of how the NBA players talk about their young stars.
You can't get kicked off a team you were never on. The Olympic team and the WNBA are different. You have to tryout for the team. She didn't because she was in the final 4 college tournament which she didn't win. 25 women were asked to tryout and only 12 made it. I thought the goal was to pick the best players base off talent and not popularity.. Your representing your Country not your fans. Her stats in the WNBA is subpar. Other rookies are having a better season...whole facts...
It's funny, if they did add more rookies and younger players, and the games were more competitive, that would be good too!! People have not been watching the domination, but if you give other teams the feeling of a chance, THAT makes it exciting!
This dude is a grifter. He doesn’t know basketball. He heard these talking points from podcast around the USA. Women basketball is position centric. What position would she fill? What better player would they kick off the team? This is not a popularity contest.
When nobody watches and the leagues LOSES money every year from nobody watching, they should embrace a new popular player if they are very talented. They need new fans and they dont even care
Paris has already had the best college basketball players in 2023 ! South Carolina went through their season undefeated including a 20+ over Notre Dame in Paris ! Oh and by the way they beat Caitlin Clarks team for the national championship with a team that had lost all their starters to the WNBA ! Poor South Carolina gets no respect ! I hope it was Coach Staley who voter her off ! =)
Those who have a bad case of The French Lick BIRD-like Fever tend to use opinions in place of stats 2024 REGULAR SEASON STATS for Guards looking at the numbers there is no reason why she should not have been included as she has better numbers than two of the players named.

Basketball isn't only about numbers. DT is an experienced player used to the physicality of international play. CC is not - in fact she struggles with the physicality of the WNBA and international is even ore physical. Additionally, if we took two players off...there are still better guards than CC.

There where three major reasons that Clark wasn't selected for the US National Team. 1) She hasn't earned it. She's played 13 games in her pro career. Picking her over players that have shown a high level of play over hundreds of games would be ridiculous. Clark has yet to show she can sustain a high level of play over the course of years. 2) She hasn't shown she's ready to excel under the high pressure of international play while playing a team oriented game. Clark excelled in college by being ball dominant, playing lots of minutes, and taking a large amount of shots. In a team oriented game she'll have to show a high efficiency shooting game while playing far less minutes. How will she respond to sitting on the bench for 30-35 minutes, then having to come in and perform for only 5-10 minutes? She also hasn't shown she can play an effective game off the ball, and on a team of All-Stars that's what she'd have to do. 3) She's yet to show she can play high level defense, and international play requires each player to play tight defense on their mark. Maybe the next Olympics for her. Not this one.
College player Christian Laettner was selected in 1992 to play for the men’s “Dream Team” and he hadn’t accomplished as much as CC. So you can’t go by that.
You missed the biggest reason: she didn't attend the Team USA training camp. If you don't show up for those camps you will never ever be chosen no matter how good you are. Everyone thinks it's like picking an all-star team, and the selection process is nothing like that.
Hasn’t earned it lol which is why a player on the roster has only played one game this season and one who hasn’t played at all since last October lol just say you’re stupid.. CC actually brings eyes and puts asses in the seats.. 🤦🏻♂️.. damn y’all slow asf
I watched a WNBA game for the first time in 30 years because of Clark. I won't watch the USA games because of no Clark. Women are petty jealous haters. Just like the NBA stars, especially Barkley, have been saying!
@@ShyAnn24who in his right mind will support women's basketball? They suck. If not for Clark we wouldn't even be discussed about women's basketball. And this here shows why... Women will sabotage themselves than promote someone that brings in cash because they think she doesn't deserve that recognition. Pathetic
@@ShyAnn24 Then you don't understand how sports work, people watch for the players. This why the NBA is doing so well, they market their players not the teams.
I played d2 college ball and don't watch any professional ball! I watch all college ball because it's more exciting. Upsets happen more frequently in college than pros. I know how sports work and basketball is one of the biggest pussy leagues their is behind soccer. Have a nice day.
She can't get kicked off of a team that she was never a part of. She simply just wasn't picked in favor of more proven vets. That happens everywhere, including football around the world. The idea that it's racial or jealousy instead of just good ol' fashioned rook treatment and competitiveness is straight up ridiculous. She's a good player. She'll get selected in the future. Just not her time yet even if she was great in college.
She was not cut… This is a horribly biased, and slanted perspective, in this report. Clark is a rookie, and wouldn’t get much playing time… Terrible video to watch.
She wasn't kicked off, she was never on the team. She's going through what all rookies go thru in the WNBA. Look at Angel Reese's slam to the ground (which was 10 times harder and more dangerous) or Kelsey Plum when she came in as a rookie. It only seems unfair to folk new to watching the WNBA. As for adding college players, that hasn't been done in a while. Candace Parker was a college champion, Rookie of the Year AND MVP her rookie year...and didn't make the Olympic team. Now THAT WAS A SNUB.
When Magic Johnson felt like he had to leave basketball after his HIV diagnosis, Larry Bird became depressed. His heart dropped out of the game, because he wanted that competition. That's what these women need. Go out and beat Clark. Don't bitch about her.
CC made the world aware of WBB, the league, the players etc. No media coverage at WBB at olympics bec. US WBB will get gold anyway. Would it be nice for Olympic WBB Championship garner more coverage than the men's BB like the WNCAA Championship between IOWA vs South Carolina. CC skills & abilities??? Who else in the WNBA has been guarded 94 ft away, double and triple teamed, only way her opponents strategize to win against her, and still land amazing stats. Despite all these overwhelming marketing and statistical data re: CC these antagonist women still stick to their narrative. Dumb & Stupid.
This is not reliable. She wasn’t on the team to get cut. USA is trying to win Gold so you get the best players not popularity. The players are not hating on Caitlin. Her fans are just new to the WNBA and didn’t know how physical the league is. They only watch the games she play, so they don’t see how physical the league and think she’s getting targeted. They are pushing this narrative because she started the season struggling
You have no clue what you are talking about! The US would win the gold if they only used college players! The old lesbians on the team are just jealous of CC. Idiot.
The content creator made sure to include the comments coming from all the white players/coaches but overlooks the comments and actions on the floor from "other" players. What a coward!!!!

Again, y’all r straying into something yall shouldn’t be in. Your caption is misleading. No rookie made the roster. Reese didn’t either. They are only in the WNBA for two months. Stop the BS. No one owes her anything. She will have a chance in 2028 just like the others. This is the second video of you reacting to something that has to do with CC. There are better players in the league of 140+ players and only veterans made the team. Stop pushing an agenda. It’s making yall look bad. Stop it. This is not a popularity contest
Well, that’s the point he’s making in this video. Whether we like it or not, celebrity does play a big part in long term success for the team and sport (Dream Team ring a bell?).
Well if we want WNBA players to earn more money, play to larger crowds, get higher TV ratings, get more merch deals, etc then putting CC on that team would accomplish that. I highly doubt in past years when Olympic women's basketball was on TV that ratings were any good. Go to your mall and ask 100 people to name 5 WNBA players. I guarantee other than Clark and Reece, people will be hard pressed to come up with names.
@@Bea-Dubya You should care. The league LOSES money every year because nobody cares or watches. Literally the only reason the league hasnt folded is because the NBA subsidizes
And as far as being fouled hard in the wnba that happens all the time the wnba is a tough rough league and they do it to every great rookie that comes in. It has nothing to do with being jealous it’s about proving you belong
No, Clark is a good player. But if she gets an injury or career threatening injury & is out for a season or those "fans" going to show up still? No. When you have a league, it's dangerous to make 1 player the face. And actually quite stupid. She didn't practice with the USA team & since the host are brits & know futbol, you should know how important CHEMISTRY is.
They didn’t bring Refrigerator Perry, Walter Payton or Dan Marino for popularity. Those teams played in the AFC Championship Game. Maybe they gave you guys a look at NFL Football.
Without Caitlin we wouldn't be talking about women's basketball. Like it or not she put women's basketball back on the map! If it ever was to begin with.
Yea she is good for ticket sells, but the Olympics have NEVER had rating problems when it comes to basketball and the women’s basketball team have won gold every Olympics since 1996. They will be fine without Caitlin whether you like it or not.

Ultimately the media and untrue fans of WNBA basketball needs to tone it down. They are a huge part of the problem. I remember when Lebron first got into the league. Of course he had huge hype on him just like Caitlyn but the difference is the media made sure not to overgas him. When you had players like Kobe, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Allen Iverson, Shaq, Dirk Nowitski etc all in their relative primes, the media sprinkled in rookie players like Bron, Carmelo Anthony, and D-Wade. Your league (in teams sports) is only as quality as the TEAMS playing, not the players. Gassing one player is does not change your league, improving the overall infrastructure of your league does that, which is what many of the other girls have been saying for YEARS.
Hows that worked out for the women? Not so well obviously considering the league actually loses money and cant even use planes to travel. And the NBA DID pump up Lebron a ton. He was hyped up as the next MJ and the next big superstar since he was 17. I remember it very clearly. It's not wrong to hype up talented players, even if the only reason is a low bar like trying to get people tp watch the sport, which the WNBA desperately needs

She's not kicked off. She does not qualify because she hasn't been in the league long enough.

A narrator in the video said Caitlin Clark should have been put on the team rather than either Diana Taurasi or Chelsea Gray. He was right. Diana Taurasi averaged 2 pts/game, shooting 23.8%, and didn't play in the gold medal game. Chelsea Gray averaged 1.3 pts/game, shooting 16.7%, although she led the team in assists with 5.2/game. Neither player made the All-WNBA 1st or 2nd teams. Caitlin made 1st team and was WNBA rookie of the year. Most likely, Taurasi was put on the team so she could set a record by winning her 6th gold medal playing in the Olympics.
You say, "I look forward to the competition. We'll fight it out on the court." That's it.
She wasn’t able to attend Team USA practices because she was actively participating in the NCAA Tournament. She literally had barely two weeks off between her final college game, getting drafted and starting her professional career.
There’s plenty of valid reasons for her not to be on this Olympic roster.
She’s not the first rookie that didn’t make an Olympics team.
She didn’t get kicked. How can you get kicked out of something you never were in.
She almost seems like a modern-day female Larry Bird. Regardless of if she plays on team USA or not, the older generations should show support. They don't have to like her to show respect to her... they seem more insecure when they act like that.
Do you know why those people respect Larry? Because he went into the NBA, would bust their ass, and he'd tell them how he'd do it in the process. He's throw hands with people on court and get mad when they put white defenders on him because it was "too easy". She has a great game and will be a great WNBA player, but she has to earn that respect from people who have been in the W grinding.
It's not jealousy, it's racism. When USA Today writes an article like this: "It matters that the faces of the future' of women's college basketball are Black" it's hard to deny there is overt racism happening here. This is exactly what we get for telling black people they are incapable of being racist. I was about to be a new women's team USA fan, but I will be intentionally avoiding it now.
I was going to say something similar but my babysitters at UA-cam always delete my comments like that right after i make them. Not only does the left wing media try to push public opinions and mindsets, but then they also censor people with differing opinions, even if it's said as a respectful but factual opinion or statement. We're sinking as a country
It's four white women on the team. All better than her😮
The Green monster, envy, raises its ignorant head. Shame. They should be thrilled to have the league get the attention.
She wasn’t able to practice. ….was never an option for her
Did you guys watch the Baseball games played over there in London this past weekend?
I agree with you Daz 💯%. American football started in 1983-4 When channel 4 was new. They started airing truncated games. They cut a 3 1/2 hour game to 1 hour. That kinda sucked but we were grateful to able see American football in any capacity.
Of course everyone was using in cycling at the time. Lance dared to challenge the 5 title 'gentlemans agreement ' that was in place under the table. So then he was pursued by the organization who otherwise allowed drug use while pretending that the others weren't also juicing.
Yes the title is quite misleading. Funny I can see both sides of the argument for and against everyone continuing to make Caitlin the face of the WNBA and USA women's basketball. The comparison to Wemby is also misleading because the NBA is not promoting him as some savior for the league and promoting him over the other established veteran stars. Because if they did, you would see jealousy and envy from LeBron, KD and company too!! Ego is a necessary thing among competitive athletes. Caitlin hasn't proven herself on the professional level yet, so veterans and legends of women's basketball are not anointing her as their messiah. On the other hand, her popularity and fanbase has moved the needle more financially and exposure wise than anyone prior to her and they all should put aside their petty jealousy to capitalize on this rare moment of momentum. In the long run, it will benefit them all. We live in a new age where super stardom can be achieved in moment. And people will immediately began compare new young stars to veteran legends that have stood the test of time. Just think if we were comparing brilliant and successful college QB's to Brady, Montana, Elway as rookies and before they've won anything. We'd be saying whoa! on all of that talk until they've done something on this level. Success in college doesn't always translate to the pros. I live near Seattle and watched Kelsey Plum break the single season scoring record as a senior in the 2016-17 season for the Univ of Washington. Scoring a mind blowing 1,109 points. She was one of the most prolific scorers the NCAA women's game has ever seen. She was the number #1 pick in the WNBA's 2017 draft. So far she has had a very good professional career but she didn't come in and set the league on fire and Caitlin probably won't either. Just because the media and fans make them a star doesn't mean that the other experienced players that they have to compete against every night are going to be awed by them and show them and mercy. When Tony Kukoc came into the NBA as a heralded European player, the NBA players were keen to show him that he had to prove himself here in this league. Even his team mates treated him with scorn and were jealous of the attention he was getting.
The title is wrong. She did not get kicked off of team USA. She didnt make the team USA roster. She is a good basketball player, but she has not been training with the Team USA for the last three years like everyone else has that did make the team. Not to mention the USA womens team have been dominating basketball since 1996. Meaning they have won gold every single time. Maybe if she trains with the team and tryout she can make the team in the next Olympics. Nobody is jealous of her and she is not entitled to a roster spot. Her numbers in the league are not that great. Her team is not that great, so im confused on why people think she should just be handed everything. She is not in college anymore. She has to earn a spot just like everyone else. If you are upset at Caitlan Clark by not making the team but you are not equally upset at the Fact Angel Reese didnt make the team than that says everything about you. Angel Reese is leading all rookies in every stat category this year and didnt make the team. Alot of people want Caitlan on the team because of her popularity, so just say that instead of saying she was done wrong.
A lot of nonsense.
Clark has better stats than some of the 12 that were picked.
With or without clark the US team will win gold, so adding her wouldn't hurt them and it will help boost their recognition.
I never cared about the wnba and i ain't giving two hoots now.
The US has been won 7 consecutive gold medals and nobody knows or care# about them or it.
For the first time people do and it's because of the excitement of Clark. So go ahead, if you want low viewership and still win a medal you have won for 7 consecutive years, okay.
And people still don't understand why women aren't smart. Men will continue earning and cashing in more.
You're so wrong lol. She's the most popular women's basketball player in Earth AND team USA will win regardless. It's the biggest mistake in women's sports history to bot put her on. Ive never watched a second on women's USA basketball. Like many others I would at least be curious to see how she does. Now my total time watched will remain at zero seconds. Honestly not I really don't want to to watch.
The guy made an excellent case for her to be on the team based on history. There's absolutely jealousy. Just look again at the example in the video of how the NBA players talk about their young stars.
You can't get kicked off a team you were never on. The Olympic team and the WNBA are different. You have to tryout for the team. She didn't because she was in the final 4 college tournament which she didn't win. 25 women were asked to tryout and only 12 made it. I thought the goal was to pick the best players base off talent and not popularity.. Your representing your Country not your fans. Her stats in the WNBA is subpar. Other rookies are having a better season...whole facts...
It's funny, if they did add more rookies and younger players, and the games were more competitive, that would be good too!! People have not been watching the domination, but if you give other teams the feeling of a chance, THAT makes it exciting!
That's a good way to put it. What a terrible decision not to have any of the new players in the league. So many missed oppertunities.
This dude is a grifter. He doesn’t know basketball. He heard these talking points from podcast around the USA. Women basketball is position centric. What position would she fill? What better player would they kick off the team? This is not a popularity contest.
When nobody watches and the leagues LOSES money every year from nobody watching, they should embrace a new popular player if they are very talented. They need new fans and they dont even care
@@user-wr9ej6xe4j If you haven’t watched, then don’t.
Ya this is just not correct. She was not invited to team. She will be in due time but not yet.
Paris has already had the best college basketball players in 2023 ! South Carolina went through their season undefeated including a 20+ over Notre Dame in Paris ! Oh and by the way they beat Caitlin Clarks team for the national championship with a team that had lost all their starters to the WNBA ! Poor South Carolina gets no respect !

Basketball isn't only about numbers. DT is an experienced player used to the physicality of international play.

There where three major reasons that Clark wasn't selected for the US National Team. 1) She hasn't earned it. She's played 13 games in her pro career. Picking her over players that have shown a high level of play over hundreds of games would be ridiculous. Clark has yet to show she can sustain a high level of play over the course of years. 2) She hasn't shown she's ready to excel under the high pressure of international play while playing a team oriented game. Clark excelled in college by being ball dominant, playing lots of minutes, and taking a large amount of shots. In a team oriented game she'll have to show a high efficiency shooting game while playing far less minutes. How will she respond to sitting on the bench for 30-35 minutes, then having to come in and perform for only 5-10 minutes? She also hasn't shown she can play an effective game off the ball, and on a team of All-Stars that's what she'd have to do. 3) She's yet to show she can play high level defense, and international play requires each player to play tight defense on their mark. Maybe the next Olympics for her. Not this one.
College player Christian Laettner was selected in 1992 to play for the men’s “Dream Team” and he hadn’t accomplished as much as CC. So you can’t go by that.
You missed the biggest reason: she didn't attend the Team USA training camp. If you don't show up for those camps you will never ever be chosen no matter how good you are. Everyone thinks it's like picking an all-star team, and the selection process is nothing like that.
Hasn’t earned it lol which is why a player on the roster has only played one game this season and one who hasn’t played at all since last October lol just say you’re stupid.. CC actually brings eyes and puts asses in the seats.. 🤦🏻♂️.. damn y’all slow asf

She can't get kicked off of a team that she was never a part of. She simply just wasn't picked in favor of more proven vets. That happens everywhere, including football around the world. The idea that it's racial or jealousy instead of just good ol' fashioned rook treatment and competitiveness is straight up ridiculous. She's a good player. She'll get selected in the future. Just not her time yet even if she was great in college.
She was never chosen.. those ladies hard , went to Usa training camp. She has plenty of time to pay for team USA.

She was not cut… This is a horribly biased, and slanted perspective, in this report. Clark is a rookie, and wouldn’t get much playing time… Terrible video to watch.
She wasn't kicked off, she was never on the team. She's going through what all rookies go thru in the WNBA. Look at Angel Reese's slam to the ground (which was 10 times harder and more dangerous) or Kelsey Plum when she came in as a rookie. It only seems unfair to folk new to watching the WNBA. As for adding college players, that hasn't been done in a while. Candace Parker was a college champion, Rookie of the Year AND MVP her rookie year...and didn't make the Olympic team. Now THAT WAS A SNUB.
Carlos Alcaraz seems the latest tennis phenom analagous to Clark.
Women say men are threats.. lol
When Magic Johnson felt like he had to leave basketball after his HIV diagnosis, Larry Bird became depressed. His heart dropped out of the game, because he wanted that competition. That's what these women need. Go out and beat Clark. Don't bitch about her.
Who is bitchin' about her? Nobody IN the league.
They have been beating her. Soundly😂
CC made the world aware of WBB, the league, the players etc. No media coverage at WBB at olympics bec. US WBB will get gold anyway. Would it be nice for Olympic WBB Championship garner more coverage than the men's BB like the WNCAA Championship between IOWA vs South Carolina. CC skills & abilities??? Who else in the WNBA has been guarded 94 ft away, double and triple teamed, only way her opponents strategize to win against her, and still land amazing stats. Despite all these overwhelming marketing and statistical data re: CC these antagonist women still stick to their narrative. Dumb & Stupid.
Well this decision will draw tens of views of women's USA basketball in Paris. I won't be one of them.
She isn't good enough to be on the team and that's ok. She has alot of talent and potential but is not a top 15+ WNBA player.
This is not reliable. She wasn’t on the team to get cut. USA is trying to win Gold so you get the best players not popularity. The players are not hating on Caitlin. Her fans are just new to the WNBA and didn’t know how physical the league is. They only watch the games she play, so they don’t see how physical the league and think she’s getting targeted. They are pushing this narrative because she started the season struggling
You have no clue what you are talking about! The US would win the gold if they only used college players! The old lesbians on the team are just jealous of CC. Idiot.
This is the ugly side of sports...if players want recognition then step up your game and try harder
😮😮
The content creator made sure to include the comments coming from all the white players/coaches but overlooks the comments and actions on the floor from "other" players. What a coward!!!!

Again, y’all r straying into something yall shouldn’t be in. Your caption is misleading. No rookie made the roster. Reese didn’t either. They are only in the WNBA for two months. Stop the BS. No one owes her anything. She will have a chance in 2028 just like the others. This is the second video of you reacting to something that has to do with CC. There are better players in the league of 140+ players and only veterans made the team. Stop pushing an agenda. It’s making yall look bad. Stop it. This is not a popularity contest
Why is there such a need for Clark to be on this team? Are we so wrapped up in celebrity?
yes
Well, that’s the point he’s making in this video. Whether we like it or not, celebrity does play a big part in long term success for the team and sport (Dream Team ring a bell?).
Well if we want WNBA players to earn more money, play to larger crowds, get higher TV ratings, get more merch deals, etc then putting CC on that team would accomplish that. I highly doubt in past years when Olympic women's basketball was on TV that ratings were any good. Go to your mall and ask 100 people to name 5 WNBA players. I guarantee other than Clark and Reece, people will be hard pressed to come up with names.
@@vodriscoll When did we start caring how much these players make, to what size crowds, if they fly chartered, etc?

No, Clark is a good player. But if she gets an injury or career threatening injury & is out for a season or those "fans" going to show up still? No. When you have a league, it's dangerous to make 1 player the face. And actually quite stupid. She didn't practice with the USA team & since the host are brits & know futbol, you should know how important CHEMISTRY is.
They didn’t bring Refrigerator Perry, Walter Payton or Dan Marino for popularity. Those teams played in the AFC Championship Game. Maybe they gave you guys a look at NFL Football.
she didn't get kicked off the team & she never did training camp because she was in the final 4, this guy is clearly lost lol
Never got kicked off.. shes just not good enough just yet
Without Caitlin we wouldn't be talking about women's basketball. Like it or not she put women's basketball back on the map! If it ever was to begin with.

Ultimately the media and untrue fans of WNBA basketball needs to tone it down. They are a huge part of the problem.
I remember when Lebron first got into the league. Of course he had huge hype on him just like Caitlyn but the difference is the media made sure not to overgas him. When you had players like Kobe, Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Allen Iverson, Shaq, Dirk Nowitski etc all in their relative primes, the media sprinkled in rookie players like Bron, Carmelo Anthony, and D-Wade.
Your league (in teams sports) is only as quality as the TEAMS playing, not the players. Gassing one player is does not change your league, improving the overall infrastructure of your league does that, which is what many of the other girls have been saying for YEARS.
Hows that worked out for the women? Not so well obviously considering the league actually loses money and cant even use planes to travel. And the NBA DID pump up Lebron a ton. He was hyped up as the next MJ and the next big superstar since he was 17. I remember it very clearly. It's not wrong to hype up talented players, even if the only reason is a low bar like trying to get people tp watch the sport, which the WNBA desperately needs
