we just had breaking news just a few minutes ago Caitlyn Clark not making the Olympic team despite leading all rookies and points and assists what are your thoughts on that yeah you know obviously bro broken news I’ve got to look at the roster to see who they picked to be on the team but I would imagine they leaned on Veterans and while Caitlyn has had an incredible season I don’t know if there’s going to be a rookie on this roster so if we look here the biggest thing is and I know the US Women’s National Team they want players that they feel like again it’s a committee decision that they feel like can contribute in the one thing that comes to my mind while Caitlyn has had an incredible season feea rules are a little bit more flexible than WNBA rules when it comes to physicality the physicality of Olympic basketball the physicality of FBA basketball is taken to an entirely new level just looking at that roster right away looks like they leaned into veterans and Veteran experience and efficiency when it comes to scoring so that’s my quick take on it but I’ve got to dive deep into it yeah we know that Caitlyn Clark is a great player and she will probably be great in a WNBA but just like you said you know the veterans you know what you’re going to get on that team and you know what else we know we know Caitlyn will have plenty of opportunities to make Olympic rosters in the future [Music]

  1. America looks at the names of the players chosen and has no Idea who they are. .Or anything about them. And after two decades of existence and daily coverage from every news outlet available nor do they care too. Especially the treatment and comments from players and comments players coaches in the so-called TV talking heads about CC… America see how she plays and what she got.. and everyone else try to tell us different. America knows what it sees and are being insulted by all the comments against her

  2. They just don't get it, utter morons. If a tree falls in forest. Yet another golden opportunity missed by the WNBA. Commissioner needs to be fired immediately. I'll be watching water polo or sleeping during the woman's basketball games.

  3. Nobody wants to watch the team without CC. You guys can't decide what the PEOPLE want. That's why the League and ppl like these 2 are a disaster

  4. anuthu reason 2 jear/cheer against dose lezbeaus racists. kaitlyn needs some white trash no regerts tats & shietiey hair doo

  5. NOTHING BUT JEALOUS UGLY THUG WOMEN THAT NOBODY TALKED ABOUT UNTIL KAITLIN FLEW IN TO TOWN. SCREW WNBA & OLYMPIC TEAM

  6. I have been watching different people discussing why Caitlin Clark didn’t make the Women’s Basketball Olympic Team. According to the USA Basketball website, “USA Basketball is a worldwide leader in the sport through competitive excellence in international competition AND by promoting, growing and elevating the game at all levels while ensuring that athletes and other participants compete and develop in a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.” Some have argued that the Olympic Team is put together based solely on those who are the best players, most experienced, and have a good chemistry playing together as a team. Others have argued that Caitlin Clark is good enough AND would create a higher level of marketability for the Olympic Team. I also read that USA Today's Christine Brennan said that Clark was left off the Olympic Team because of “concern over how Clark's millions of fans would react to what would likely be limited playing time on a stacked roster.” So, it sounds like there is a lot more going on behind the scenes rather than just picking the best players with the most experience and on-court chemistry than what we are being lead to believe.

  7. Leaving her off the roster shows how USA sports and espn is NOT diverse and completely racist towards her because they don’t want a talking white player in the spotlight!!!!

  8. It's not the best that goes to the Olympics it's what makes sense in business. Its the difference between broke mindset and rich mindset. Go Caitlin clark. It's more news that she didn't make in the team 😅

  9. It is such a simple decision, it is time to solidify your own league woman and stop MEN / NBA league from subsidizing your failing league for over 20 years. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, fight for your own job cuz pampering need to stop for these delusion that they have something special when they have the golden goose Caitlin Clark. Its over due, choose money before winning, and in the end you both bring money and gold home regardless. Like and Share my comment.

  10. Isaiah Thomas and Catlin Clark have something in common …… 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  11. Brittney Griner is in the road of redemption so I understand that they add her in the team.

    Having Caitlyn Clark snubbed in the team is like Isaiah Thomas got snubbed in the Dream Team.

  12. Everyones talking about how poorly Clark is playing in her first few games in the WNBA and how she didn't earn a spot on TEAM USA. International play is more physical, her turn overs, etc. First of all big fan of Ionescu's and many others, let's get that out of the way. I watched Ionescu's first 3 games highlights and I saw no double or triple teams and the one hard foul she received was HARD and you know what? The fouling player on the other side helped her up!! I watched a couple of gold medal games and some other FIBA games with Team USA and a sampling of 3 or 4 other teams and saw no evidence of a physical game and I didn't see any opposing teams double team any of Team USA. I called BS when I first heard some of these remarks in connection to CC not playing well or not being able to handle the physicality of international play and now I see for myself I was right to call BS.

  13. The black women are finally getting the attention from gossip why the white lady gets her attention from talent…. Pay attention to what's really happening and listen carefully. The one getting all the attention is off of pure talent and skill while the others gossip in words falsehoods

  14. In a generation a lot of people will see their children or grandchildren talking and thinking about them the same way that we think of racist peoples behaviour in the past now. These people will be despised, their accomplishments forgotten, and themselves cancelled and vilified.

  15. That is a lie ,do not tell me ,Clark can't play better?
