If I was Clark, I wouldn’t want to play in the Olympics now with a bunch of teammates that don’t like me or are jealous for no reason. I wouldn’t be able to trust any of them.
Like they said, CC could be a Sport Broadcaster for NBC @ The Olympics or play @ Ice Cube BIG 3 league, both worth Multi-Millions $$$ for 1 month work. or Joint the Italian or Irish National @ the Olympics, will draw Multi-Millions $$$ for Nike Jerry & Accessory and NBC viewership. CC will sure be treated VIP
@@chriswong9158 I don't think Clark is motivated by money my friend... she would just hoop, she wouldn't have gone to Iowa if she was motivated by something other than hoops and her people.
yes, but if she was on the team, they'd iron that out, and playing with her they'd see on the court WITH her just how tight her game is and respect her.
Exactly she is definitely a champion of a person. That is why she is different from the rest. That is why she sells out everywhere she plays. No other player in history has ever done that.The no championships people are like flies on a turd!💩
ANONYMOUS INSIDER ☝🏽 CC deserves to be on the Olympics team! Add a spot! Arike deserves MOST- but will likely play for Nigeria🇳🇬! Maybe add Angel or another big!) Win the gold AND the biz opp! Many pros despise that small vocal racist subsection ofC C’s fanbase. But the vast majority of us (I’m AA/NA - male- avid baller- private sector-NBA friends, players & biz- UNIQUE POV) don’t care about color, & keep your sexuality 🤮 to yourself, EVERYONE! Let CC play! 🇺🇸
It's more than that. It's complete lack of professionalism. This is just their ancient reptile mind wired to produce as much high school nonsense drama as humanly possible. Absolutely embarrassing
Just saying. Easy to buy a tiny house in Canada. Easy to file for dual citizenship. They fast track stuff like this for celebrities and athletes. Just sayin.
I'm a 75 year old English woman, never seen any basket ball. Since CC has been on You Tube I'm looking out for her. Even though I've never listened to any basket ball commentary I know BS when I hear it. The world sees and the world knows. Keep going CC the world is behind you!❤

Notice how Dirty Diana says "Yeah, after "I" won 3 national championships. Excuse me while vomit because those were stacked teams, and she gave no credit to any of her teammates and as if she deserved to be on the Olympic team. Unlike the most popular player in sports now who praises everyone but herself including her haters. This is the last hurrah for those hateful veterans and could've gone out with a huge bang because of Caitlin but too much ego which spurs hate and will eventually be forgotten because of it.
U didn't win...ur team won w overall superior players to its competitionn. How many would ur dirty self win if u were on say bowling green...no offense to be. Catlin is straight...the wnba are not. Please see salesforce agenda...a huge financial donor of wnba...they are all heterophobes and only want a shebeast as the star and face of the league. Cc is not good enough? So they put 3 people to guard her at one time for 94 feet whether she has the ball or not. Hummmm. At Salesforce, we have Outforce, our LGBTQ employee-resource group, which meets regularly with leadership to share LGBTQ community needs, issues, and accolades.Sep 27, 2022 See candace wiggins story who lived to tell about this. Nuff said.
@SeanDowney You are right but it's not just Dipshit Diana. She is one of many. What an absolutely stupid group of women. You have to expect a few dumb players, but how can that many of them not get it?! Totally mind boggling!🤔
@@deandreray3500 Kobe in 1st season as a starter had 3.1 Turn/per game, J.Kidd 4.0. Shaq in rookie season 3.8, Jordan 3.5. Steve Nash in MVP season had 3.8. If u have ball for most part of the game u must commit turnovers no doubt.
Oh stop this now. It's beyond pathetic. Obviously It's the way they make money. The media is the one that is stirring this. Why are you doing this in an already divided country.
Omg! How much more hate can a young lady take?? The WNBA has turned their back on Clark the U.S. Olympic committee has turned their back on her the players in the WNBA has turned their back on her her coach and her team has turned their back on her. How much more can she take, how much more can her family and friends take, how much more can her fans take?? She's just a great basketball player that wanted to chase her dreams I'm certain she wasn't expecting such jealousy and hatred directed at her. The Olympic committee aren't being honest with their lame excuse about her fans being upset if she didn't get much playing time they didn't want to deal with the other players whining about not getting much playing time because Clark was playing and not them. I probably wont watch much of the Olympics but definitely won't watch the women's basketball. If any of the other WNBA players would have been treated like Clark has been I don't think they would have been able to handle it.
@@78tag check the prior years because Iowa was pretty good without her. guess what? she lost the same as they did. CC did not win a state title either. HMMM, LOOSER who cares only for herself and does not elevate her team. she's all hype.
Taurasi owns zero NCAA records. She's not in the top 50 of any NCAA category. She did nothing but happen to be on a team that won championships. CC owns the scoring and assist records.
True. And the only reason I hold that against her is because of the eat her young mentality she has towards CC. She said she had vets taking her under their wings as a rookie on the Olympic team. She's a rookie stomper.
@@donniet348Taurasi didn't think about that when she bumped a veteran off the Olympic team her rookie year. It might've been that player's last chance. LMAO The idea of snubbing the all time NCAA scoring and assist leader is nonsensical. Never mind that it doesn't make business sense.
It’s funny… if she played for Ireland… and 10 million fans in USA would be walking around with Caitlin Clark TEAM IRELAND jerseys… haha… how stupid WNBA would look…
With its allowing serious fouls on Clark without adequate penalty, like foul shots instead of player ejection, the WNBA already looks not only stupid but almost malicious. Already she is causing team like Atlanta to move their home games to the bigger NBA arena... and it's still sold out. That doesn't happen when any other team comes to town. League officials need to pull their collective heads out of their asses and accurately assess Caitlin's experience so far relative to what fouls she takes without adequate punishment and what that would cost the league over time. Think about this for a minute: until Caitlin Clark came to the WNBA, the teams flew on commercial airlines, not chartered jets. Hey, WNBA! Any of you ladies wanna go back to the "good ol' days"?
@@Joe_J-MT_BoyThe WNBA was supposedly going to review the officiating and players conduct involving Caitlin Clark. No idea if they did anything or not.
The phrase "strike while the iron is hot" comes to mind here. That's all fine & dandy if she is on the NEXT Olympics team 4 years from now but the impact will be less. The time is now. This girl is a comet streaking across the night sky and this kind of opportunity doesn't present itself very often.
Absolutely! They’re making the statement that they are petty, jealous, & care more about hating a champ than winning Olympic Basketball!! Disgraceful! Sick & sad!
*I ran the numbers and Caitlin Clark deserves the spot given to Kelsey Plum* (who is also a guard). Bird's Formula (attributed to Larry Bird) is calculated using all the available box score data as follows: Points + Rebounds + Assists + Steals + Blocked Shots - Missed Shots - Missed Free Throws - Turnovers - Personal Fouls. I also divide the B# per game by average minutes played to give the very useful B# per minute. So using that metric, *Caitlin Clark has a B# of 12.60 and B#/min of .387 to Kelsey Plum's 9.90 and .267. Clark is also ahead of guard Diana Taurasi's 9.8 and .333 2024 stats and her freshman (2004) stats of 11.7 and .351.* Taurasi has 19 years in the league but she's also 42 now. There is also the slightly weird case of guard Chelsea Gray who made the Olympic team despite not playing in 2024 due to a calf injury. She is supposed to return before the Olympics but who really knows. The bottom line is that you can make a case for Clark over three other guards but especially over Plum, unless Plum is a lot better on defense (defense is only captured by Steals and Blocks in the B#).
Exactly - she took a group of average college girls, turned them into a very good team and ran with it. The so-called super stars, who are doing all of the whining played with teams that would have won without them..
@@78tag those IOWA teams before her made it to the sweet 16 and Elite 8 of ncaa tournament. what are you talking about? they were not average! you know nothing about womens college basketball, guess you are believing too much of the hype and PR.
DT wants to have more Olympic Gold medals than anyone in basketball. If Clark is on the team, CC has a chance to tie or break DT's record, while if she isn't on the team, Clark has no chance unless she plays until she is 48.
This dt person is jealous to the core and extremely selfish too. She can't hide the hatred she has for CC. Says "I" vs "We" a lot. Does she not realize that basketball is a team sport?! That w/o good teammates she wouldn't have 3 national championships...won by stacked teams?! Compare that with what CC accomplished at Iowa. All stats she accumulated and awards she won. No comparison. CC will survive this hell storm .go on to possibly be the GOAT. This dt person will fade into obscurity...
@@joemateo9. Awesome response! Diane was put on the Olympic team her first year! If she earned it than I don’t have a problem with it! However, this year things were different! Diane said she shouldn’t be on it this year! Why, you might ask? Because according to Diane, she won National Championships!!! Oh ok, there must be a rule that I never heard of! Because there isn’t a rule! But Diane justified it because She won those NCAA Championships. So it is ok to go to the Top School in those days and win C-Ships but if you go to a School in the Middle of Country and play for an outstanding Coach and helped to take that School to the C -Ship game but that does not count!!! It’s ok Diane, keep making up the rules as you go! I am sure you want to keep going until you get Social Security!! Not the type of people you want to be around CC! Resetti, Reeves (the one crying about Cc for getting so much attention; geez wonder why She gets so much; fans don’t follow the benchwarmer; this is a Coach on a team I don’t think we have played yet; jealous much ?!????????) and good old Diane!!
One woman on team USA (Chelsea Gray) is injured and hasn't played since LAST YEAR. Clarks coach is either incompetent or purposely sabotaging her. Watch some analysis of Fever games from people on youtube. The woman was never a head coach before the Fever. She answers all her postgame questions very vaguely like she knows nothing about basketball. She has repeatedly and unprofessionally criticized and thrown CC under the bus after losses. Now she made public a private text sent by Clark which will only lead to more harassment and retaliation against her. I have never seen anything like CC since Jordan as far as star-power, popularity, and interest. But Jordan was global, CC is national. The women of the WNBA are probly trying to sabotage her from going global by keeping her out of the Olympics. They are angry, jealous, immature, unprofessional, racist lesbians who don't deserve CC or a league, period.
i always watched since the time of Dr.J, Bird till MJ, Kobe, Shaqs, Vince, LJ & now Doncic, Tatum others. but WNBA?! seldom to not until i got curious & amazed with Iowa's and now Indiana's Caitlin Clark..she's simply superb..
CC is already global. Here and there, people mention their nationalities on Clark hightlight vids or pages. I myself am from the Philippines and have seen at least 5 of my countrymen say they're also fans of hers. Some other countries mentioned are UK, NZ, Australia. One CC content creator Mick is from Ireland.
Gray is probably the best point guard in the world, and she'll be healthy for the Olympics. If you don't understand why she's ahead of Clark, it's cos you don't watch the game.
@@benprytherch9202 If you don't understand why a hurt player, that hasn't played all year shouldn't have a spot held for her, then you don't understand sports.
Diana T. is 41 years old... already has 5 Olympic titles. She's totally selfish. Caitlin Clark is Box Office, and would have brought MILLIONS of more eyes in tv viewership; and a lot more in sponsorship dollars. Now the tv ratings for the USWBT at the Olympics will be abysmal.
You can bet the TV exec's are pissed. They wanted to see an obvious trannie like the one working his way onto the women's open golf tournament. Better DEI/ESG recognition.
She wants a record that she thinks nobody can beat with 6 titles, even if she has to use a walker to do it. It's ALL about Diana, always has been. A true narcissist.
I’m hoping the Women’s Team led by LOSERS Taurasi and Stewart LOSING! Voting for every team playing against the US team!! Remember that many of these women are kneelers and stay in your locker room when the National Anthem is playing!! Not American or Patriotic!!
Great example! And people do say things analogous to that in discussing NBA players' rankings, and it drives me nuts...as if the individual player has total control of the outcome with no regard to how good or bad his teammates are, or how well or badly they work together.
Taurasi's envy of CC is immense. CC is popular, she is not. Taurasi sees CC as a big threat because she knows whatever record she holds can be surpassed by CC. Taurasi, you will be forgotten. 😂😂
Diana Taurasi was a standout player with impressive stats, but there were other players with comparable or even superior individual statistics who did not achieve the same level of team success in terms of NCAA championships. So why did she make the roster as a ROOKIE? So lets base it on Diana who was a rookie and called up days after her final NCAA match. She did not try out they selected her simply based on her college career. Comparison of Key Players: Diana Taurasi (UConn, 2000-2004) - Points per game: 15.0 - Rebounds per game: 4.3 - Assists per game: 4.5 - Total points: 2,156 - Championships: 3 (2002, 2003, 2004) - Awards: Naismith College Player of the Year (2003, 2004) Alana Beard (Duke, 2000-2004) - Points per game: 19.8 - Rebounds per game: 6.1 - Assists per game: 3.7 - Total points: 2,687 - Championships: 0 - Awards: Wade Trophy (2004), Wooden Award (2004) Seimone Augustus (LSU, 2002-2006) - Points per game: 19.3 - Rebounds per game: 5.2 - Assists per game: 1.6 - Total points: 2,702 - Championships: 0 - Awards: Naismith College Player of the Year (2005, 2006) Cappie Pondexter (Rutgers, 2002-2006) - Points per game: 18.3 - Rebounds per game: 4.0 - Assists per game: 3.9 - Total points: 2,211 - Championships: 0 - Awards: Big East Player of the Year (2006) While Taurasi had an extraordinary college career with both impressive individual stats and team success, other players like Alana Beard and Seimone Augustus were also outstanding but did not achieve the same level of team success in terms of championships. Caitlin Clark (Iowa, 2020-2024): Points per game (PPG): 27.1 Rebounds per game (RPG): 7.1 Assists per game (APG): 7.8 Field Goal Percentage (FG%): 46.2% 3-Point Field Goal Percentage (3P%): 35.7% Free Throw Percentage (FT%): 85.9% Diana Taurasi (UConn, 2000-2004): Points per game (PPG): 15.0 Rebounds per game (RPG): 4.3 Assists per game (APG): 4.5 Field Goal Percentage (FG%):: 46.1% 3-Point Field Goal Percentage (3P%): 38.3% Free Throw Percentage (FT%): 80.7% Caitlin Clark has a higher scoring average (27.1 PPG) compared to Diana Taurasi (15.0 PPG). Rebounding: Clark also leads in rebounds per game (7.1 RPG) over Taurasi (4.3 RPG). Assisting: Clark averages more assists per game (7.8 APG) compared to Taurasi (4.5 APG). Shooting Efficiency: Field goal percentages are nearly identical, with Clark at 46.2% and Taurasi at 46.1%.Taurasi has a slightly better 3-point shooting percentage (38.3%) compared to Clark (35.7%).Clark is more efficient from the free-throw line at 85.9%, compared to Taurasi’s 80.7 So please explain to me how Diana as a rookie made it onto the Olympic roster when she was not the best coming out of college even though she benefited from padding her career with championships? Championships she obviously earned because she had an awesome TEAM. Caitlin Clark should have always been in consideration to be on roster much like Diana Taurasi was when she was still a collegiate athlete. Caitlin Clark (Indiana Fever): Points per game (PPG): 15.6 Rebounds per game (RPG): 5.1 Assists per game (APG): 6.4 Steals per game: 1.3 Blocks per game: 1.0 Field Goal Percentage (FG%): 35.7% Three-Point Percentage (3PT%): 29.7% Turnovers per game 5.4 Diana Taurasi (Phoenix Mercury 2024) Points per game (PPG): 14.7 Rebounds per game (RPG): 3.0 Assists per game (APG): 5.4 Steals per game: 0.8 Blocks per game: 0.2 Field Goal Percentage (FG%): 36.9% Three-Point Percentage (3PT%): 32.4% Diana should not be on this roster and her comment are hypocritical. It just show she is an egotistical and selfish person. Nobody in charge and on the team wanted to see Caitlin go off. They did not want to be a part of the overshadowing Caitlin's celebrity would have brought and the potential exciting plays on court she would have done. They did not want to boost this women into the stratosphere by placing her on the global stage. The fanbase in the United States doesn't care about anyone else other than Caitlin. The numbers prove it. The potential of having the world wanting just this women was just too great. The women running the WNBA jealousy truly shows. ALLOWING CAITLIN CLARK TO GET A GOLD MEDAL WOULD HAVE MADE HER A GOD AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH THAT. SO INSTEAD THEY PREEMPTIVELY CUT THE PRAISE OF HER SHORT BY 4 YEARS. Anyone saying anything negative about Caitlin Clark is a reality denier and drinks HATERADE as part of their diet.
1. Comparing Taurasi's rookie stats to Caitlin's is comparing apples to oranges. The league was weaker in Taurasi's rookie season so her stats meant more then than Caitlin's do now. Taurasi was third in the league in scoring during her rookie season. Caitlin is 15th Taurasi had 90 total turnovers (7th in the league) Caitlin already has 70 (1st in the league, #2 has 47) Taurasi was 8th in player efficiency in the league. Caitlin is nowhere near top 10. She ranks 6th among the ROOKIES
28 million from Nike alone. ( Wilson not even counted) The WNBA is BIG women who can't jump. I hope they lose \because they are America hates. Not all but many.........
@@ugispriednieks7753 Maybe; maybe not. However, I don't care. I would rather watch college players and lose than to watch professionals and win. I watch college sports and seldom watch professional sports. Except for replays of games Caitlin Clark played, I have never watched a WNBA game, and without Caitlin Clark, I never will. Without Caitlin Clark, I will not watch the Olympics women's basketball game unless I read the Americans might lose. Then I will watch and cheer for the other team.
1. I really enjoyed your stat breakdown at the beginning. I had compared CC against Diana but did not realize she was so close to the others you showed. That needs to be more widely known since they keep claiming she just isn't good enough. 2. The worst part of this whole mess, besides robbing CC, is that about half of the women who made the team actually hate the USA. I wonder how many will take a knee during the anthem if they win? 3. Another thing to consider that can't be captured in a stat is that CC has very little support on her team so defenses focus her with their best defender and double teams. More than half of the women who made the team, do not get the same level of defensive effort. 4. Chelsea Gray made the team and hasn't played in months and is not expected to return anytime soon. Why is she wasting a roster spot? 5. I keep hearing the term jealousy thrown around but its more than that. To be jealous of someone means you want they have but can't get it on your own. The more accurate term would envy. Envy means that not only do they want what she has, they hate her and don't want her to have it either. They feel victimized by her success when it has nothing to do with them.
Also, enough people are not asking about why Chelsea Gray and Brittney Griner are on the team. Chelsea Gray is out with a foot injury and Brittney has been locked up in a Russian jail for almost a year. How are they BOTH better than Clark right now???? HOW???
This is the best video on the subject I've watched so far. Well-made, and well-argued. Subscribed with notifs! Excellent job! Cheering for Caitlin Clark here in the Philippines!😊🙏💕🏀
Do you know who hasn't done one thing yet to promote her? Nike!!! No merchandise, no commercials, no signature shoe as promised, no billboards, nothing.
I am no more interested in the U.S. women's BBall team, than I am in the anti-American U.S. women's soccer team. They don't deserve America fan support.
I’m Australian (Melbournian), we love our sport and try to support our women sports on which lately some leagues are sell outs especially our women’s soccer team. I don’t follow the women basketball that much but as of late I’ve been following Caitlin Clark from the ass end of the world, why? Because she is so entertaining to watch! America is getting followers to their league from many countries which is bringing extra attention and revenue, Clark could play for Italy and they’d pay her well. This would be catastrophic for USA team, I’d follow Italy if this would happen and I’d pay for it as I do now for USA. I think she’d be crazy not to think about playing for another country if she’s going to be snubbed because of her popularity not fitting the preferred DEI. Funny how women complain about equal pay but can’t fathom the idea that it’s done through promoting the most followed players that will increase their followers. Caitlin Clark for Italy ✊🏼🇮🇹
Yeah Diana had a stacked 5 star team, Clark was the only 5 stars, everyone else was maybe 1 and 2 stars. She dragged those farm girls to the big dance twice.
With her help, some of them got the chance to learn how basketball is played. I really enjoyed watching them support/cooperate in her game. There were a couple of darn good shooters on that team and their center did a fantastic job for her size.
@@kathy0698 What the WNBA is missing is that CC pretty much developed that group of players into a cohesive TEAM.... and yes, they probably could beat most of the WNBA teams.
She is a team player winning is about scacrifing your game for the good of the team. When MJ learned that it was more than scoring Chicago won championships
If someone scores 50 points a game and loses what does it mean. What college championship team had a 30 point scorer. Bill Walton or Kareem arguably the best college players ever . Neither averaged 30 points but they won .
@@DeVane-bl2ol obviously you didn't get the point she had better teammates at a prestigious program where was Iowa before CC got there in order to win this past year's National Championship she would have had to beat LSU Connecticut and South Carolina can you guess how many McDonald's all-americans those three teams had combined
@@boodavis5787 it’s a team sport, to play in college D1 everyone can score that’s how they got there. When a team is stacked someone has to sacrifice scoring for the TEAM to win. Look at Magic. Kobe and Shaq both wanted to be dominant and had to sacrifice to win. Records are nice you can score but what do your teammates think? When Shaq left Kobe shot all the time his teammates hated playing with him because they made it to the league because they score too. Lot of egos. Right now Luka is scoring 30 a game against the Celtics if Dallas doesn’t win what do the points mean? Nothing they are playing for championships
Diana Taurasi has played in FIVE Olympics already, every one since she was chosen, AS A ROOKIE, to the Olympic team in 2004. And now she takes yet one MORE place on the team, blocking Caitlin Clark from being added as a rookie. It's disgusting. If she had one iota of class Taurasi would have stepped back and told the committee, hey, I have had my chances for 20 years since you chose me for the team as a rookie. Choose a rookie instead this year to replace me---someone like, oh...Caitlin Clark. But Taurasi is obviously too narcissistic to have such a thought, and the current Olympic committee is obviously too blockheaded to do what the committee KNEW how to do 20 years ago: PUT YOUR STAR ROOKIE PLAYER ON THE TEAM. And if Clark is not the star rookie, then how in the hell did she get named player of the month of May 2024 while playing the WORST extreme schedule in WNBA history, being constantly double teamed and sometimes triple teamed from 94 feet down the floor, and getting viciously knocked to the floor, slammed in the head, flagrantly fouled nearly every game??? Damn this WNBA establishment REEKS of cliquishness and stupidity. Entitlement reigns as you have a coach who has openly resented Clark's popularity and a committee member who is president of a competing team! Whatever happened to objectivity, fairness, and, oh don't they love the word when it applies to people of color and lesbians, INCLUSIVENESS!!!!! I will just say it: if Caitlin Clark were a person of color and a lesbian---she would be on that team, no question.
I spent a whole day with him in 1974 my senior year in high school. We did a basketball shooting lesson for kids before a Lakers/Warriors game played in San Diego. We did a practice in the morning, had lunch, then did the shooting drills for the younger fans. He was one of the most focused people I've ever met. The guy was amazing. I'm very sad as I grew up with him as a role model for my basketball career.
This video is on point on everything. Ive seen this jealousy and hatred for CC growing and building for some time. These females arent interested in growing their sport...if "someone else" is responsible for that growth and not them.their pettiness is really pathetic. It shows you just exactly who these females are. CC i believe will grow in her game and become the star people think she'll be. The difference is CC will dk this with a team and will acknowledge that team. CC wont use I to describe accomplishments, she'll use "We"...
Caitlin is in a league of her own. Caitlin should be in the USA 🇺🇸 national team. Whatever committee is currently in charge of selecting players should be FIRED !!!
I laugh every time anyone thinks and talks about this as if it's a skill show matchup in basketball. Ain't got nothing to do with basketball or basketball stardom. It's an all-out culture war and the WNBA mafia and allies ain't having no "Caitlin Clark" culture coming in and stealing their hard-won territory even if it hasn't earned its way in 26 years and she's finally bringing in the cash and viewership. These WNBA players and allies would rather dissolve its franchise than see it go the way of the Caitlin Clark culture.
WNBA could have had 100 years, they still can’t promote/create or even manufacture a star. Right now the WNBA if they had 2 brain cells best option is having college stars carry over their fan base to the pros.
You have hit the nail on the head DEAD CENTER!! But will the sports media report the truth?? CC is really fighting the whole alphabet mafia BY HERSELF!! But she's doing it HER way!! And I SO admire her style!!
@@dough9512 No, the media is absolutely terrified of reporting this. In fact, my earlier posts have been shadow-banned because I named the Mafia players. I am surprised this one hasn't been shadow-banned. And, Caitlin probably has no idea what she is up against and will probably be forced out of pro basketball.
We're gettin played. "There's no such thing as bad publicity" Women are the best manipulators on Earth. They knew leaving Caitlin out would stir up more drama & air time than putting her on the team.
I see where you're coming from, but I HIGHLY doubt their business smart enough for that, if they were the WNBA woulda been profitable or at least popular a long time ago
These women don't even know enough to be embarrassed by their pettiness. All they know is their cult - they don't understand politics or economics for that matter. Do you believe most of them actually graduated some form of education ? There is a definition for that - it's called ignorance.
It is pitiful what women do to each other, at 58 yr old I will never understand it. I own my own business for 30 plus years, I used to think it was just financial success or looks but it is so much deeper- just being happy, positive, pleasant attitude and outlook, having a good marriage- other women are vicious! Between ridiculous made up rumors, lies about my marriage, false accusations about my business, it was so hurtful. I kept my head up and pushed forward and I sit back now and see the women that caused me the most problems are alone, divorced, broke and their own kids don't even want to be around them! I wish I could give CC a hug because I see her just so many levels above that other trash! She is just better inside and out. Women are so threatened and there are exceptions of course but you have to do a lot of weeding to get to good people!
For perspective, I don't watch womens basketball and the only name I know is Caitlin Clark. The others need to calm their asses down. They will be forgotten
If Caytlin Clark was included in USA team at age 22 she could probably tie Taurasi's future record with 6 gold olympic metals if she also could play until 42 yo. Now its impossible to tie it unless she plays until 46 years old.
the Dinosaur know's this and is counting on it. so vain and jelous. she could have sealed her legacy by SPEAKING UP AND HELPING CC but chose the low road.
I can't say I have gained that much interest (I watch the abbreviated highlights to see how CC did) but before now I would never have entered into conversations about that league let alone watch any of it.
I am a European and a fan of basketball and I must say that those commissioners of league you have there they absolutely know nothing about basketball.
in WNBA she is surrounded by trash teamates who actually impact her game score badly, so many passes she does and her teamates can't score she looses points this way! she should leave WNBA and go international where they will support her with better players
No one really points out that along with all the scoring (which could have been greater) she dished out assists by the hand full. They just don't want to admit that her greatness is in her team play - that doesn't exist in the WNBA "look at me" culture.
Incorrect. CC didn’t “beat Pistol Pete Maravich”. HE PLAYED AGAINST MEN. And averaged 44! With NO 3-point line! And NO freshman year stats- the rules back then. ONE MORE TIME: I’ll repeat it until all of the clear newcomers understand. SEPARATE GENDER, SEPARATE COMPETITION. SEPARATE RECORD. Men would own virtually every record- if there was only one record book. Women would be pushed OFF THE MAP AND OUT OF EXISTENCE in most cases. Slowest HS boy’s top swimmer would beat women’s OLYMPICS record. Women’s pro 🏀 can’t beat hardly any boys JV in existence-likely MAYBE SOME TERRIBLE boys’ Freshman A-teamers. THIS IS WHY THERE ARE 2 record books. YOU GRASP LOGIC AND BASIC INTELLECT AND RATIONALE. OR YOU DON’T.
Honestly, this is a marketing disaster for USA Women's Basketball. They truly missed the bus that you strike while the iron is hot to grow your sport. The people in charge must have road the short bus to school to make such a bone headed error. For those who are truly upset, your apathy will do the most damage. When you don't watch the women's team play in France and you stop tuning in for WNBA games they will know they messed up.
The wnba would die if the nba wasnt subsizing the league. Forget about talent or stats, you have a chance to grow your league and you go and waste it. Last i checked there weren’t any sold out games until a certain person was drafted. Tarausi has been to five Olympics, she doesnt need to be on another one. Grow the league and stop being petty
Arike didn’t want to be selected because she wants to be part of the Nigeria team. I wanted Clark in the team but because of the USA being so political she didn’t get picked. Be part of the Italian team to make a statement.
Actually, she would have to play with the Irish team or Italian team that's the other country's that Caitlin Clark's mother has dual citizenship in...but... imagine if she went there... made it to the Championship game with TeamUSA...What a filled arena...with more Americans cheering for the other team than the USA.LOL!!! But, the miracle outcome, actually happens... Clark has 68 points...22 out of 30 threes 22 free throws 28 assists, 13 rebounds 10 steals 8 blocked shots...the MONSTER UNLEASHED!!!
All I know is that Team USA better pray they get gold or this decision will haunt them, even if Clark doesn't play internationally. Clark is popular, bringing in new fans and attention, while playing at a high level, to the WNBA. The play makes her deserving of a spot on the roster, but it is also a good idea for marketing, bringing attention and fans that likely won't watch otherwise. When you factor in the negative comments by the WNBA players, along with the aggressive plays and poor treatment by both opposing and her own team, and you see a pattern of attempts to relegate Clark to push other players that don't have the same popularity. If the team gets gold, the issue disappears. If they lose, they will have problems. And, if Clark decides to play internationally, this will only exacerbate the problem, depriving the US team of support and a key player that can bring attention to it. If this decision, with the poor treatment, irritate her enough, we can possibly see her take her talents to Europe and take much needed support for the WNBA with her. For a group of people who supposedly desire to grow the sport, this decision seems to be completely at odds with what these players profess as their goal, seeming to want to grow the sport in their own way only.
Caitlin Clark a straight white healthy and a talented Superstar with all the hype. USA Women's Basketball just can't afford to have that on the roster. Even if she gave up 5 million dollars to be there, did they forget that the Olympic team doesn't get paid a salary?
Saw a number of clips of WNBA players hacking Caitlin during games and it sure looked to me like they were intentionally trying to hurt her. When you combine that with their interviews, I think that league is loaded with a bunch of spiteful petty jealous goons. The coaches seem to have zero control over their awful behavior. No wonder no one watches them, and believe I saw that this "Welfare league" loses an average of 10 million dollars a year, even after more than a decade. Girls High School games draw bigger crowds. I won't be watching them in the Olympics unless Caitlin is on the team. And NBC stands to lose a lot of money too.
NBC won't lose money...its viewed by the world, not just MAGA crowd. "Goons" is loaded my G. If you were real fan, you would know everyone gets hacked in the W. These women interviewed aren't used to spotlight and don't know how to handle it. Wonder why CC boyfriend not at draft nor courtside. Pacers out of playoffs.. hmm is there a Candace moment in our future. Non authentic would peeve the alternate lifestyle crowd too. Just babbling...CC is a baller tho...2 years unstoppable with 7 or 8 more pounds.
To me the W is a bunch of school yard bullies picking on ONE person. Because of her skill, humility, and having a winning attitude. WHO else has the same mentality and sportsmanship
Isn't it interesting that in all of their attempts and arguments to show how much better other players are, they can't come up with one example of someone with her integrity and willingness to make their team better. That concept is three levels over their heads.
Yeah, well, don't believe everything Google tells you. It is not a search engine, it is a mind-control company. Go look it up, but don't search it on Google.
Actually you are wrong. Sports is one if the few places where greatness isnt subjective. You got to earn your spot, regardless who your daddy is, regardless how much money you make, etc etc, If she is given an unearned spot on the Olympic team she will forever be known as the girl who didnt earn her gold. The jokes and memes write them selves
@@LiquidSoul06...oh really?? You're a nut job!! How about you go back the last 4 years for 16 years how many 1st round draft picks have been on an Olympic Team?? Several!! Who are you, to tell anyone what CC needs to do?? Or what she needs to earn?? You have ZERO accolades in the NBA...CC holds records in the WNBA..:she's 1 of 4, among the previous greats! Why are you so vested, you weirdo, in a 22 yr old young lady's Career??? Do you have daughters?? How many grown ass men, such as yourself are obsessed w/them? And do you take their advice, or idiotic opinions into consideration?? 🙄I bet your achievements in life were far superior @ 22yo to CC...What were they?? Your opinion is equivalent to a strainer holding water...Wow!😂😂
Totally agree with your video thank you for compiling all these facts. They really is eye-opening that they left her out on purpose and I heard that Cheryl Reeve did not not want her on the team and that if she was on the team that she was going to resign as the Coach wow now does that sound like a person that is a professional Coach ….It sounds personal to me. No one wants Caitlin to outshine them I had an idea if she really isn’t an alternate which I hope she is. I think she should be a special commentator for NBC for women’s and men’s basketball. I predict one thing if she’s not in any capacity, the crowds are going to be “We want.Caitlin”We want.Caitlin” like they did at the Connecticut Sun game when the Home crowd was yelling We want.Caitlin” We want.Caitlin” when her coach had benched her for part of the third and the fourth quarter they were furious! again thank you for this video personally if she’s not, I’m not purposely.not Watching Women’s basketball they don’t care about people watching. I’m not gonna watch. There’s plenty other women’s sports to watch!
The Legend is too smart and has too much class to get entangled in this mess. Someone with his truly competitive nature and ultra intellectual grasp of basketball probably has as much trouble fathoming this as everyone else.
I just don't understand how the WNBA can do this to themselves. Imagine what the NBA would of become. If the league told MJ.... sorry, MJ, you have to sit this one out. Maybe four years from now, you can be on the Olympic team, oh, and we are holding you back from making history in the NBA. Plus, if we bring you, it might grow the NBA to much. We don't want to many fans, or any more money, or popularity for the league. Imagine that? This is absurd.
THIS is exactly what is happening! We don't even have to imagine. So much self-sabotage and zero vision in the decision-making chairs at the WNBA. It's wild that the players aren't coached to boost the brand and women's basketball at ALL times. Here on display is the western sickness of women speaking ill of each other in a world where all there big problems are set steadfast by rich white men.
Team USA is gonna lose without Caitlin Clark, and were all gonna laugh just like we did when that lame US womens soccer team totally blew it cuz they're all jealous no talent haters ,
Yes, her father (and the rest of the family backed it up) taught her what competition is about and how to conduct herself in the heat of the action and in life. She had her moments but, as in seemingly everything else, she learned the lessons and moved on to represent well. That is one of the biggest disappointments about this whole "Olympic" thing - she would have represented us well, something we can't expect from most of that team.
Taurasi was on the only team in women's college basketball at the time...all of the best high school players went there...making women's college basketball boring.
Yes, Caitlin deserves to be on the team. At this point, if she is invited on, she would do better to decline. As someone else already commented, she probably couldn't count on her team mates goodwill and support. Envy is a killer.
I kind of agree with you.... but I don't know --I'm also curious to see how bad (or good) they perform without Caitlan. If they succeed without her, I'll be darn surprised /impressed but it they proceed to get their butts kicked --I'll be laughing my head off! 😀
@@jeff-hopkins Jeff - you do realize that those he-women have been dominating the Olympics for years right ? They know they can win with their 2nd's off the bench on the court but they can't see the difference between easily winning one more meaningless gold medal and gaining world wide attention by acquiring a shooting star from their league.
I will because I'm an American and those 12 women on the roster have earned it. Why would I be childish towards them and my country bc I don't agree with the roster. He'll they could send 12 college players and I would watch. Don't let others that make mistakes & make decisions you don't agree with lose the focus & big picture of the topic which is this is a major international event every 4 yrs to allow countries to compete to see who is the best at any given sport. That's it. Which ever country you are from or have a heritage from or friends/family from or living in you can support & root for them to all in good sportsmanship. But don't let people take away your love for your country & support whoever is sent to represent you & your country and be proud of that.
Correct me if I am wrong, but if you make Taurasi a coach on the team USA and give that player slot to Caitlin, don't the couches also get a medal? They may not stand on the podium, but they still get a medal. It's like this. Assume for a moment that the Mariners win the World Series. I know what you're thinking, but go with me for the sake of expediency. The Mariners win the World Series. Doesn't Dan Wilson also get a World Series ring? Doesn't the pitching coach, the hitting coach, the 1st base coach, the 3rd base coach, and the conditioning coach?
Taurasi is so full of herself. Acting like winning championships is the only thing that matters. Ignore the details, the injuries, the talent around the individual players. No, It's all about chips. That is mainstream media for you.
@@I.am_Groot but its been tradition to take the first overall pick from both NBA and WNBA for a while now. They usually don't see minutes but its tradition. People argue from business which is also valid. Why not get the player that literally has doubled your viewership? Its just tradition
@@laytonsteele1845 You are half right which makes you incorrect so let me give you some factual perspective though it won't matter because you need to be bad but here goes.. IF we were lobbying to include a #1 overall out of tradition it could be Aliyah Boston who was ROY and shot 40% from 3 much like Maya Moore was in 2012 Are you mad for Boston too or does she not check the right boxes for ya?
DT bragged about her UConn titles that got her on Team USA while CC is the Division I women's career scoring leader, and the all-time leader in points scored in Division I history. Plus many other records. It’s like you didn’t bother to even watch this video or bring facts.
Even if those women win another gold I will not watch a single game of it. Just like the 92 NBA put Chris on their team, They won gold. But weak emotions drive the WNBA and they will get what they deserve. Don’t put CC on that team. as a matter of fact, CC should never play for a USA team for an Olympics. Their actions prove their worth so CC, carry-on and let them go.
UCONN has all star player while IOWA only had Caitlin. Their rank is far away but she brought the team twice in the natl championship. Win three times in Big Ten, first to win Dawn Staley award as freshman etc.
The fact that there is even such a thing as a Dawn Staley award is testament to the lack of consideration for the character of Staley before creating such a thing. What’s next? An OJ award for football? Only if they start a women’s football league…….
If I was Clark, I wouldn’t want to play in the Olympics now with a bunch of teammates that don’t like me or are jealous for no reason. I wouldn’t be able to trust any of them.
Like they said, CC could be a Sport Broadcaster for NBC @ The Olympics or play @ Ice Cube BIG 3 league, both worth Multi-Millions $$$ for 1 month work. or Joint the Italian or Irish National @ the Olympics, will draw Multi-Millions $$$ for Nike Jerry & Accessory and NBC viewership. CC will sure be treated VIP
@@chriswong9158 I don't think Clark is motivated by money my friend... she would just hoop, she wouldn't have gone to Iowa if she was motivated by something other than hoops and her people.
yes, but if she was on the team, they'd iron that out, and playing with her they'd see on the court WITH her just how tight her game is and respect her.
Yup. Who wants to be on a team that is jealous of you? More trouble than it's worth, imho.
"Jealous for no reason" to be fair they have reason to be jealous. Doesn't mean they should be
While Teurasi was surrounded by top notch players who uplifted her, CC was surrounded by good players whom she uplifted. The champ is Caitlin Clark.
No she isnt the champ.
Exactly she is definitely a champion of a person. That is why she is different from the rest. That is why she sells out everywhere she plays. No other player in history has ever done that.The no championships people are like flies on a turd!💩

Oh stop this now. It's beyond pathetic. Obviously It's the way they make money. The media is the one that is stirring this. Why are you doing this in an already divided country.

Omg! How much more hate can a young lady take?? The WNBA has turned their back on Clark the U.S. Olympic committee has turned their back on her the players in the WNBA has turned their back on her her coach and her team has turned their back on her. How much more can she take, how much more can her family and friends take, how much more can her fans take?? She's just a great basketball player that wanted to chase her dreams I'm certain she wasn't expecting such jealousy and hatred directed at her. The Olympic committee aren't being honest with their lame excuse about her fans being upset if she didn't get much playing time they didn't want to deal with the other players whining about not getting much playing time because Clark was playing and not them. I probably wont watch much of the Olympics but definitely won't watch the women's basketball. If any of the other WNBA players would have been treated like Clark has been I don't think they would have been able to handle it.

With its allowing serious fouls on Clark without adequate penalty, like foul shots instead of player ejection, the WNBA already looks not only stupid but almost malicious. Already she is causing team like Atlanta to move their home games to the bigger NBA arena... and it's still sold out. That doesn't happen when any other team comes to town. League officials need to pull their collective heads out of their asses and accurately assess Caitlin's experience so far relative to what fouls she takes without adequate punishment and what that would cost the league over time.
Think about this for a minute: until Caitlin Clark came to the WNBA, the teams flew on commercial airlines, not chartered jets. Hey, WNBA! Any of you ladies wanna go back to the "good ol' days"?

*I ran the numbers and Caitlin Clark deserves the spot given to Kelsey Plum* (who is also a guard). Bird's Formula (attributed to Larry Bird) is calculated using all the available box score data as follows: Points + Rebounds + Assists + Steals + Blocked Shots - Missed Shots - Missed Free Throws - Turnovers - Personal Fouls. I also divide the B# per game by average minutes played to give the very useful B# per minute. So using that metric, *Caitlin Clark has a B# of 12.60 and B#/min of .387 to Kelsey Plum's 9.90 and .267. Clark is also ahead of guard Diana Taurasi's 9.8 and .333 2024 stats and her freshman (2004) stats of 11.7 and .351.* Taurasi has 19 years in the league but she's also 42 now. There is also the slightly weird case of guard Chelsea Gray who made the Olympic team despite not playing in 2024 due to a calf injury. She is supposed to return before the Olympics but who really knows. The bottom line is that you can make a case for Clark over three other guards but especially over Plum, unless Plum is a lot better on defense (defense is only captured by Steals and Blocks in the B#).
Iowa doesn’t even come close to winning a championship without Clark. She helped them make it to the final game twice.
They didn’t literally 😂
they didn't win with her either. so, who cares?
Exactly - she took a group of average college girls, turned them into a very good team and ran with it. The so-called super stars, who are doing all of the whining played with teams that would have won without them..

DT wants to have more Olympic Gold medals than anyone in basketball. If Clark is on the team, CC has a chance to tie or break DT's record, while if she isn't on the team, Clark has no chance unless she plays until she is 48.

That w/o good teammates she wouldn't have 3 national championships...won by stacked teams?! Compare that with what CC accomplished at Iowa. All stats she accumulated and awards she won. No comparison.
CC will survive this hell storm .go on to possibly be the GOAT. This dt person will fade into obscurity...

It's evident! CC brought attention to the WNBA. Now, these women want attention without CC.
One woman on team USA (Chelsea Gray) is injured and hasn't played since LAST YEAR. Clarks coach is either incompetent or purposely sabotaging her. Watch some analysis of Fever games from people on youtube. The woman was never a head coach before the Fever. She answers all her postgame questions very vaguely like she knows nothing about basketball. She has repeatedly and unprofessionally criticized and thrown CC under the bus after losses. Now she made public a private text sent by Clark which will only lead to more harassment and retaliation against her. I have never seen anything like CC since Jordan as far as star-power, popularity, and interest. But Jordan was global, CC is national. The women of the WNBA are probly trying to sabotage her from going global by keeping her out of the Olympics. They are angry, jealous, immature, unprofessional, racist lesbians who don't deserve CC or a league, period.
i always watched since the time of Dr.J, Bird till MJ, Kobe, Shaqs, Vince, LJ & now Doncic, Tatum others. but WNBA?! seldom to not until i got curious & amazed with Iowa's and now Indiana's Caitlin Clark..she's simply superb..
Clark is global. Read international news.
CC is already global. Here and there, people mention their nationalities on Clark hightlight vids or pages. I myself am from the Philippines and have seen at least 5 of my countrymen say they're also fans of hers. Some other countries mentioned are UK, NZ, Australia. One CC content creator Mick is from Ireland.
Gray is probably the best point guard in the world, and she'll be healthy for the Olympics. If you don't understand why she's ahead of Clark, it's cos you don't watch the game.
@@benprytherch9202 If you don't understand why a hurt player, that hasn't played all year shouldn't have a spot held for her, then you don't understand sports.
Diana T. is 41 years old... already has 5 Olympic titles. She's totally selfish. Caitlin Clark is Box Office, and would have brought MILLIONS of more eyes in tv viewership; and a lot more in sponsorship dollars. Now the tv ratings for the USWBT at the Olympics will be abysmal.
So sad.... But very likely so true! 😢
You can bet the TV exec's are pissed. They wanted to see an obvious trannie like the one working his way onto the women's open golf tournament. Better DEI/ESG recognition.
Can't stand Taurasi She is SO FULL OF HERSELF she is sickening to watch. Has been horrible to Caitlin. No champion at all.
She wants a record that she thinks nobody can beat with 6 titles, even if she has to use a walker to do it. It's ALL about Diana, always has been. A true narcissist.
I’m hoping the Women’s Team led by LOSERS Taurasi and Stewart LOSING! Voting for every team playing against the US team!! Remember that many of these women are kneelers and stay in your locker room when the National Anthem is playing!! Not American or Patriotic!!
It is like saying that Karl Malone and Charles Barkley are not top-5 power forwards of all times, because they' ve never won an NBA championship....
Great example! And people do say things analogous to that in discussing NBA players' rankings, and it drives me nuts...as if the individual player has total control of the outcome with no regard to how good or bad his teammates are, or how well or badly they work together.
Barkley would have won 5 championships or more if Michael Jordan didn't play at the same time. Barkley was AMAZING, but Jordan was Jordan!!!!
People lost their minds saying COLLEGE rings is a requirement for Olympics now 😂😂😂
Taurasi's envy of CC is immense. CC is popular, she is not. Taurasi sees CC as a big threat because she knows whatever record she holds can be surpassed by CC. Taurasi, you will be forgotten. 😂😂
Forgotten ... hopefully soon. In all seriousness, I hadn't thought of her in nearly a decade until all this BS came up.
@@chadbennett7873that's the idea. She's soooo past her prime and out of relevance. Just one last spotlight grab.
Diana Taurasi was a standout player with impressive stats, but there were other players with comparable or even superior individual statistics who did not achieve the same level of team success in terms of NCAA championships. So why did she make the roster as a ROOKIE? So lets base it on Diana who was a rookie and called up days after her final NCAA match. She did not try out they selected her simply based on her college career.
Comparison of Key Players:
Diana Taurasi (UConn, 2000-2004)
- Points per game: 15.0
- Rebounds per game: 4.3
- Assists per game: 4.5
- Total points: 2,156
- Championships: 3 (2002, 2003, 2004)
- Awards: Naismith College Player of the Year (2003, 2004)
Alana Beard (Duke, 2000-2004)
- Points per game: 19.8
- Rebounds per game: 6.1
- Assists per game: 3.7
- Total points: 2,687
- Championships: 0
- Awards: Wade Trophy (2004), Wooden Award (2004)
Seimone Augustus (LSU, 2002-2006)
- Points per game: 19.3
- Rebounds per game: 5.2
- Assists per game: 1.6
- Total points: 2,702
- Championships: 0
- Awards: Naismith College Player of the Year (2005, 2006)
Cappie Pondexter (Rutgers, 2002-2006)
- Points per game: 18.3
- Rebounds per game: 4.0
- Assists per game: 3.9
- Total points: 2,211
- Championships: 0
- Awards: Big East Player of the Year (2006)
While Taurasi had an extraordinary college career with both impressive individual stats and team success, other players like Alana Beard and Seimone Augustus were also outstanding but did not achieve the same level of team success in terms of championships.
Caitlin Clark (Iowa, 2020-2024):
Points per game (PPG): 27.1
Rebounds per game (RPG): 7.1
Assists per game (APG): 7.8
Field Goal Percentage (FG%): 46.2%
3-Point Field Goal Percentage (3P%): 35.7%
Free Throw Percentage (FT%): 85.9%
Diana Taurasi (UConn, 2000-2004):
Points per game (PPG): 15.0
Rebounds per game (RPG): 4.3
Assists per game (APG): 4.5
Field Goal Percentage (FG%):: 46.1%
3-Point Field Goal Percentage (3P%): 38.3%
Free Throw Percentage (FT%): 80.7%
Caitlin Clark has a higher scoring average (27.1 PPG) compared to Diana Taurasi (15.0 PPG).
Rebounding: Clark also leads in rebounds per game (7.1 RPG) over Taurasi (4.3 RPG).
Assisting: Clark averages more assists per game (7.8 APG) compared to Taurasi (4.5 APG).
Shooting Efficiency: Field goal percentages are nearly identical, with Clark at 46.2% and Taurasi at 46.1%.Taurasi has a slightly better 3-point shooting percentage (38.3%) compared to Clark (35.7%).Clark is more efficient from the free-throw line at 85.9%, compared to Taurasi’s 80.7
So please explain to me how Diana as a rookie made it onto the Olympic roster when she was not the best coming out of college even though she benefited from padding her career with championships? Championships she obviously earned because she had an awesome TEAM. Caitlin Clark should have always been in consideration to be on roster much like Diana Taurasi was when she was still a collegiate athlete.
Caitlin Clark (Indiana Fever):
Points per game (PPG): 15.6
Rebounds per game (RPG): 5.1
Assists per game (APG): 6.4
Steals per game: 1.3
Blocks per game: 1.0
Field Goal Percentage (FG%): 35.7%
Three-Point Percentage (3PT%): 29.7%
Turnovers per game 5.4
Diana Taurasi (Phoenix Mercury 2024)
Points per game (PPG): 14.7
Rebounds per game (RPG): 3.0
Assists per game (APG): 5.4
Steals per game: 0.8
Blocks per game: 0.2
Field Goal Percentage (FG%): 36.9%
Three-Point Percentage (3PT%): 32.4%
Diana should not be on this roster and her comment are hypocritical. It just show she is an egotistical and selfish person.
Nobody in charge and on the team wanted to see Caitlin go off. They did not want to be a part of the overshadowing Caitlin's celebrity would have brought and the potential exciting plays on court she would have done. They did not want to boost this women into the stratosphere by placing her on the global stage. The fanbase in the United States doesn't care about anyone else other than Caitlin. The numbers prove it. The potential of having the world wanting just this women was just too great. The women running the WNBA jealousy truly shows.
ALLOWING CAITLIN CLARK TO GET A GOLD MEDAL WOULD HAVE MADE HER A GOD AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH THAT. SO INSTEAD THEY PREEMPTIVELY CUT THE PRAISE OF HER SHORT BY 4 YEARS.
Anyone saying anything negative about Caitlin Clark is a reality denier and drinks HATERADE as part of their diet.
Impressive details. 👍
1. Comparing Taurasi's rookie stats to Caitlin's is comparing apples to oranges. The league was weaker in Taurasi's rookie season so her stats meant more then than Caitlin's do now.
Taurasi was third in the league in scoring during her rookie season. Caitlin is 15th
Taurasi had 90 total turnovers (7th in the league) Caitlin already has 70 (1st in the league, #2 has 47)
Taurasi was 8th in player efficiency in the league. Caitlin is nowhere near top 10. She ranks 6th among the ROOKIES
You are correct. There’s always one hater it’s like flies to a turd 💩
28 million from Nike alone. ( Wilson not even counted) The WNBA is BIG women who can't jump. I hope they lose \because they are America hates. Not all but many.........
Thank you! Well done! 😊
I miss the days where the USA Olympic teams were the college players.
Hmm. In woman's basketball the team IS the calibre of a College Team
Well, a college men’s basketball team would loose big time in the Olympics. It wouldn’t even be close.
Mens college team would be destroyed in Olympics nowadays mate
@@ugispriednieks7753 Maybe; maybe not. However, I don't care. I would rather watch college players and lose than to watch professionals and win.
I watch college sports and seldom watch professional sports. Except for replays of games Caitlin Clark played, I have never watched a WNBA game, and without Caitlin Clark, I never will. Without Caitlin Clark, I will not watch the Olympics women's basketball game unless I read the Americans might lose. Then I will watch and cheer for the other team.
I miss the days when the US women's Olympic teams loved their country.
They should let Caitlin Clark pick her 11 teammates... That will probably be the defacto method of selecting the USA team moving forward..
I'm very angry. NOT ONE WNBA person has inspired me. NOT ONE.
Everyone with common sense knows why they hate her.
OMG Clark playing for Italy or Ireland would be WILD!! hahahaha
1. I really enjoyed your stat breakdown at the beginning. I had compared CC against Diana but did not realize she was so close to the others you showed. That needs to be more widely known since they keep claiming she just isn't good enough.
2. The worst part of this whole mess, besides robbing CC, is that about half of the women who made the team actually hate the USA. I wonder how many will take a knee during the anthem if they win?
3. Another thing to consider that can't be captured in a stat is that CC has very little support on her team so defenses focus her with their best defender and double teams. More than half of the women who made the team, do not get the same level of defensive effort.
4. Chelsea Gray made the team and hasn't played in months and is not expected to return anytime soon. Why is she wasting a roster spot?
5. I keep hearing the term jealousy thrown around but its more than that. To be jealous of someone means you want they have but can't get it on your own. The more accurate term would envy. Envy means that not only do they want what she has, they hate her and don't want her to have it either. They feel victimized by her success when it has nothing to do with them.
Also, enough people are not asking about why Chelsea Gray and Brittney Griner are on the team. Chelsea Gray is out with a foot injury and Brittney has been locked up in a Russian jail for almost a year. How are they BOTH better than Clark right now???? HOW???
Chelsey hasn’t played in game since her injury in 2023, however, she may be ready to go for Thursday’s game.
Chelsey the best pg in the league I beg you pardon? A wnba champion and is ready for duty she’s does not disappoint at all
She can't be in shape
Brad Griner has been traded for an arms dealer, named Viktor Bout. He's been out for a while 😂😂😂😂
Griner is 6'9. So you want to replace her with someone 6'0, with defensive liabilities.
This is the best video on the subject I've watched so far. Well-made, and well-argued. Subscribed with notifs! Excellent job! Cheering for Caitlin Clark here in the Philippines!😊🙏💕🏀
I totally agree!! Great video
Do you know who hasn't done one thing yet to promote her? Nike!!! No merchandise, no commercials, no signature shoe as promised, no billboards, nothing.
I am no more interested in the U.S. women's BBall team, than I am in the anti-American U.S. women's soccer team. They don't deserve America fan support.
I agree
I never watch either one. Never.
I’m Australian (Melbournian), we love our sport and try to support our women sports on which lately some leagues are sell outs especially our women’s soccer team. I don’t follow the women basketball that much but as of late I’ve been following Caitlin Clark from the ass end of the world, why? Because she is so entertaining to watch! America is getting followers to their league from many countries which is bringing extra attention and revenue, Clark could play for Italy and they’d pay her well. This would be catastrophic for USA team, I’d follow Italy if this would happen and I’d pay for it as I do now for USA. I think she’d be crazy not to think about playing for another country if she’s going to be snubbed because of her popularity not fitting the preferred DEI. Funny how women complain about equal pay but can’t fathom the idea that it’s done through promoting the most followed players that will increase their followers. Caitlin Clark for Italy ✊🏼🇮🇹
That is what the corruption is counting on,,,,So they can run with it to loose fans,,,and please the Nations behind the corruptions.
You are a trumpy whore. Fly to moscow and proclaim your freedom.
Yeah Diana had a stacked 5 star team, Clark was the only 5 stars, everyone else was maybe 1 and 2 stars. She dragged those farm girls to the big dance twice.
And got one of them drafted to her own surprise.
With her help, some of them got the chance to learn how basketball is played. I really enjoyed watching them support/cooperate in her game. There were a couple of darn good shooters on that team and their center did a fantastic job for her size.
Actually Iowa had alot of talented players. Bet they could kick the asses of most the WNBA teams....with CC.
@@kathy0698 What the WNBA is missing is that CC pretty much developed that group of players into a cohesive TEAM.... and yes, they probably could beat most of the WNBA teams.
it seem's CC is team team while a lot of other "star's" are ME ME.
You won three national championships because you were playing with four other McDonald's all-americans
She is a team player winning is about scacrifing your game for the good of the team. When MJ learned that it was more than scoring Chicago won championships
If someone scores 50 points a game and loses what does it mean. What college championship team had a 30 point scorer. Bill Walton or Kareem arguably the best college players ever . Neither averaged 30 points but they won .
@@DeVane-bl2ol obviously you didn't get the point she had better teammates at a prestigious program where was Iowa before CC got there in order to win this past year's National Championship she would have had to beat LSU Connecticut and South Carolina can you guess how many McDonald's all-americans those three teams had combined
@@boodavis5787 it’s a team sport, to play in college D1 everyone can score that’s how they got there. When a team is stacked someone has to sacrifice scoring for the TEAM to win. Look at Magic. Kobe and Shaq both wanted to be dominant and had to sacrifice to win. Records are nice you can score but what do your teammates think? When Shaq left Kobe shot all the time his teammates hated playing with him because they made it to the league because they score too. Lot of egos. Right now Luka is scoring 30 a game against the Celtics if Dallas doesn’t win what do the points mean? Nothing they are playing for championships
What good is winning if no one cares@@DeVane-bl2ol
I don't know who shouldn't be on the team but for sure Clark should be... I'm not watching any Women's game that doesn't have Caitlin Clark in it.
Hogan said it best…
“Every woman I ever met is a natural born liar”
They didn't want fans to be mad because they'll give CC limited minutes but 0 is ok😭
That's got to be the lamest excuse ever.... My dog ate my homework... But you don't have a dog.
Diana Taurasi has played in FIVE Olympics already, every one since she was chosen, AS A ROOKIE, to the Olympic team in 2004. And now she takes yet one MORE place on the team, blocking Caitlin Clark from being added as a rookie. It's disgusting. If she had one iota of class Taurasi would have stepped back and told the committee, hey, I have had my chances for 20 years since you chose me for the team as a rookie. Choose a rookie instead this year to replace me---someone like, oh...Caitlin Clark. But Taurasi is obviously too narcissistic to have such a thought, and the current Olympic committee is obviously too blockheaded to do what the committee KNEW how to do 20 years ago: PUT YOUR STAR ROOKIE PLAYER ON THE TEAM. And if Clark is not the star rookie, then how in the hell did she get named player of the month of May 2024 while playing the WORST extreme schedule in WNBA history, being constantly double teamed and sometimes triple teamed from 94 feet down the floor, and getting viciously knocked to the floor, slammed in the head, flagrantly fouled nearly every game??? Damn this WNBA establishment REEKS of cliquishness and stupidity. Entitlement reigns as you have a coach who has openly resented Clark's popularity and a committee member who is president of a competing team! Whatever happened to objectivity, fairness, and, oh don't they love the word when it applies to people of color and lesbians, INCLUSIVENESS!!!!! I will just say it: if Caitlin Clark were a person of color and a lesbian---she would be on that team, no question.
it's all vanity and jelousy. Taurasi dosent realize if CC continues to rise, her 6th medal will look worse and worse. poor legacy to leave.
RIP JERRY WEST!!!

I spent a whole day with him in 1974 my senior year in high school. We did a basketball shooting lesson for kids before a Lakers/Warriors game played in San Diego. We did a practice in the morning, had lunch, then did the shooting drills for the younger fans. He was one of the most focused people I've ever met. The guy was amazing. I'm very sad as I grew up with him as a role model for my basketball career.

This video is on point on everything. Ive seen this jealousy and hatred for CC growing and building for some time. These females arent interested in growing their sport...if "someone else" is responsible for that growth and not them.their pettiness is really pathetic. It shows you just exactly who these females are.
CC i believe will grow in her game and become the star people think she'll be. The difference is CC will dk this with a team and will acknowledge that team. CC wont use I to describe accomplishments, she'll use "We"...
Caitlin is in a league of her own.
Caitlin should be in the USA 🇺🇸 national team. Whatever committee is currently in charge of selecting players should be FIRED !!!
Negative Ghost Rider. The olympic committee did their job. Keep it fair. Men vs men. Women vs women.
I laugh every time anyone thinks and talks about this as if it's a skill show matchup in basketball. Ain't got nothing to do with basketball or basketball stardom. It's an all-out culture war and the WNBA mafia and allies ain't having no "Caitlin Clark" culture coming in and stealing their hard-won territory even if it hasn't earned its way in 26 years and she's finally bringing in the cash and viewership. These WNBA players and allies would rather dissolve its franchise than see it go the way of the Caitlin Clark culture.
Well said
There is no stopping the Caitlin Clark wave. …. Too much money to be stopped
WNBA could have had 100 years, they still can’t promote/create or even manufacture a star. Right now the WNBA if they had 2 brain cells best option is having college stars carry over their fan base to the pros.
You have hit the nail on the head DEAD CENTER!! But will the sports media report the truth?? CC is really fighting the whole alphabet mafia BY HERSELF!! But she's doing it HER way!! And I SO admire her style!!
@@dough9512 No, the media is absolutely terrified of reporting this. In fact, my earlier posts have been shadow-banned because I named the Mafia players. I am surprised this one hasn't been shadow-banned. And, Caitlin probably has no idea what she is up against and will probably be forced out of pro basketball.
We're gettin played. "There's no such thing as bad publicity" Women are the best manipulators on Earth. They knew leaving Caitlin out would stir up more drama & air time than putting her on the team.
They didn't give a s***it was totally about their feelings being hurt because they wouldn't be the center of attention
This ain’t savvy…
@@NeighborTom Yeah WWE is real
@@billypardew2337 The jealous players are just a puzzle piece in the bigger picture. Execs have the final say.
I see where you're coming from, but I HIGHLY doubt their business smart enough for that, if they were the WNBA woulda been profitable or at least popular a long time ago
D. T. Is truly Salty 😂 jealousy much!
These women don't even know enough to be embarrassed by their pettiness. All they know is their cult - they don't understand politics or economics for that matter. Do you believe most of them actually graduated some form of education ?
There is a definition for that - it's called ignorance.
It is pitiful what women do to each other, at 58 yr old I will never understand it. I own my own business for 30 plus years, I used to think it was just financial success or looks but it is so much deeper- just being happy, positive, pleasant attitude and outlook, having a good marriage- other women are vicious! Between ridiculous made up rumors, lies about my marriage, false accusations about my business, it was so hurtful. I kept my head up and pushed forward and I sit back now and see the women that caused me the most problems are alone, divorced, broke and their own kids don't even want to be around them! I wish I could give CC a hug because I see her just so many levels above that other trash! She is just better inside and out. Women are so threatened and there are exceptions of course but you have to do a lot of weeding to get to good people!
I'm BLACK and I LOVE Caitlin Clark, she is DOMINATING WHOLE WNBA AND THEIR ALL JEALOUS! I WATCH FOR CAITLIN AND CAITLIN ONLY!!!
For perspective, I don't watch womens basketball and the only name I know is Caitlin Clark. The others need to calm their asses down. They will be forgotten
They had to have been known to be forgotten ... that is their legacy.
Diana said I won. Not we won. If she cared about the sport she would step aside!
Diana is some dookie
This is one of the best presentations about sports that I have experienced. Logical, clear, visionary, convincing. Congratulations!
If Caytlin Clark was included in USA team at age 22 she could probably tie Taurasi's future record with 6 gold olympic metals if she also could play until 42 yo. Now its impossible to tie it unless she plays until 46 years old.
the Dinosaur know's this and is counting on it. so vain and jelous. she could have sealed her legacy by SPEAKING UP AND HELPING CC but chose the low road.
This is the best video on the subject that I've watched. Great job. 😎👍
No, she needs to turn them down if offered. They will blame her for everything and treat her horribly.
I can't wait for the South Park episode on this!
I don't watch the NBA, but I watch the Fever. I'd say boycott the women's team, I don't think anyone watches them.
🍼. Sore loser
I can't say I have gained that much interest (I watch the abbreviated highlights to see how CC did) but before now I would never have entered into conversations about that league let alone watch any of it.
I am a European and a fan of basketball and I must say that those commissioners of league you have there they absolutely know nothing about basketball.
in WNBA she is surrounded by trash teamates who actually impact her game score badly, so many passes she does and her teamates can't score she looses points this way! she should leave WNBA and go international where they will support her with better players
Clark's stats are deceiving. She's among the leader's despite everything. Despite her own teammates trying to keep her down.
No one really points out that along with all the scoring (which could have been greater) she dished out assists by the hand full. They just don't want to admit that her greatness is in her team play - that doesn't exist in the WNBA "look at me" culture.
Yeah well like every Olympics before. No one is going to watch the Women’s USA Olympic Basketball Team without Clark ! Fact!
I might watch.... Just so I can see team USA wondering why they end up bombing! 😲
You forgot Caitlin beat Pete maravichs all time scoring record
Against women. It's not the same caliber of game.
Incorrect. CC didn’t “beat Pistol Pete Maravich”. HE PLAYED AGAINST MEN. And averaged 44! With NO 3-point line! And NO freshman year stats- the rules back then. ONE MORE TIME: I’ll repeat it until all of the clear newcomers understand. SEPARATE GENDER, SEPARATE COMPETITION. SEPARATE RECORD. Men would own virtually every record- if there was only one record book. Women would be pushed OFF THE MAP AND OUT OF EXISTENCE in most cases. Slowest HS boy’s top swimmer would beat women’s OLYMPICS record. Women’s pro 🏀 can’t beat hardly any boys JV in existence-likely MAYBE SOME TERRIBLE boys’ Freshman A-teamers. THIS IS WHY THERE ARE 2 record books. YOU GRASP LOGIC AND BASIC INTELLECT AND RATIONALE. OR YOU DON’T.
No just not admitted.

Honestly, this is a marketing disaster for USA Women's Basketball. They truly missed the bus that you strike while the iron is hot to grow your sport. The people in charge must have road the short bus to school to make such a bone headed error. For those who are truly upset, your apathy will do the most damage. When you don't watch the women's team play in France and you stop tuning in for WNBA games they will know they messed up.
The wnba would die if the nba wasnt subsizing the league. Forget about talent or stats, you have a chance to grow your league and you go and waste it. Last i checked there weren’t any sold out games until a certain person was drafted. Tarausi has been to five Olympics, she doesnt need to be on another one. Grow the league and stop being petty
Jealousy is such an ugly thing. Apparently no other WNBA rookie got a 28 million dollar deal with Nike. CC is laughing all the way to the bank.
Arike didn’t want to be selected because she wants to be part of the Nigeria team. I wanted Clark in the team but because of the USA being so political she didn’t get picked. Be part of the Italian team to make a statement.
Exactly DKM is also lying and instigating
Actually, she would have to play with the Irish team or Italian team that's the other country's that Caitlin Clark's mother has dual citizenship in...but... imagine if she went there... made it to the Championship game with TeamUSA...What a filled arena...with more Americans cheering for the other team than the USA.LOL!!!
But, the miracle outcome, actually happens... Clark has 68 points...22 out of 30 threes 22 free throws 28 assists, 13 rebounds 10 steals 8 blocked shots...the MONSTER UNLEASHED!!!
All I know is that Team USA better pray they get gold or this decision will haunt them, even if Clark doesn't play internationally. Clark is popular, bringing in new fans and attention, while playing at a high level, to the WNBA. The play makes her deserving of a spot on the roster, but it is also a good idea for marketing, bringing attention and fans that likely won't watch otherwise. When you factor in the negative comments by the WNBA players, along with the aggressive plays and poor treatment by both opposing and her own team, and you see a pattern of attempts to relegate Clark to push other players that don't have the same popularity. If the team gets gold, the issue disappears. If they lose, they will have problems. And, if Clark decides to play internationally, this will only exacerbate the problem, depriving the US team of support and a key player that can bring attention to it. If this decision, with the poor treatment, irritate her enough, we can possibly see her take her talents to Europe and take much needed support for the WNBA with her. For a group of people who supposedly desire to grow the sport, this decision seems to be completely at odds with what these players profess as their goal, seeming to want to grow the sport in their own way only.

Caitlin Clark a straight white healthy and a talented Superstar with all the hype. USA Women's Basketball just can't afford to have that on the roster. Even if she gave up 5 million dollars to be there, did they forget that the Olympic team doesn't get paid a salary?

The Bad Guys are still taking down our idols and uplifting theirs! I Gotta ask myself why!
Saw a number of clips of WNBA players hacking Caitlin during games and it sure looked to me like they were intentionally trying to hurt her. When you combine that with their interviews, I think that league is loaded with a bunch of spiteful petty jealous goons. The coaches seem to have zero control over their awful behavior. No wonder no one watches them, and believe I saw that this "Welfare league" loses an average of 10 million dollars a year, even after more than a decade. Girls High School games draw bigger crowds. I won't be watching them in the Olympics unless Caitlin is on the team. And NBC stands to lose a lot of money too.
NBC won't lose money...its viewed by the world, not just MAGA crowd. "Goons" is loaded my G. If you were real fan, you would know everyone gets hacked in the W. These women interviewed aren't used to spotlight and don't know how to handle it. Wonder why CC boyfriend not at draft nor courtside. Pacers out of playoffs.. hmm is there a Candace moment in our future. Non authentic would peeve the alternate lifestyle crowd too. Just babbling...CC is a baller tho...2 years unstoppable with 7 or 8 more pounds.

@@LiquidSoul06That’s an interesting perspective, especially since CC keeps getting cheap shotted while being nowhere near the ball.

Isn't it interesting that in all of their attempts and arguments to show how much better other players are, they can't come up with one example of someone with her integrity and willingness to make their team better. That concept is three levels over their heads.

A petty and spiteful old guard holding back the young, popular and revolutionary. A tale as old as time.

16:58 this statement right here is the entire problem with America right now…
My exact thought when l heard him say it. America has become soft. Sad.
Actually you are wrong. Sports is one if the few places where greatness isnt subjective. You got to earn your spot, regardless who your daddy is, regardless how much money you make, etc etc,
If she is given an unearned spot on the Olympic team she will forever be known as the girl who didnt earn her gold. The jokes and memes write them selves
@@LiquidSoul06oh please…
@@LiquidSoul06...oh really?? You're a nut job!! How about you go back the last 4 years for 16 years how many 1st round draft picks have been on an Olympic Team?? Several!! Who are you, to tell anyone what CC needs to do?? Or what she needs to earn?? You have ZERO accolades in the NBA...CC holds records in the WNBA..:she's 1 of 4, among the previous greats! Why are you so vested, you weirdo, in a 22 yr old young lady's Career??? Do you have daughters?? How many grown ass men, such as yourself are obsessed w/them? And do you take their advice, or idiotic opinions into consideration?? 🙄I bet your achievements in life were far superior @ 22yo to CC...What were they?? Your opinion is equivalent to a strainer holding water...Wow!😂😂
Totally agree with your video thank you for compiling all these facts. They really is eye-opening that they left her out on purpose and I heard that Cheryl Reeve did not not want her on the team and that if she was on the team that she was going to resign as the Coach wow now does that sound like a person that is a professional Coach ….It sounds personal to me. No one wants Caitlin to outshine them I had an idea if she really isn’t an alternate which I hope she is. I think she should be a special commentator for NBC for women’s and men’s basketball. I predict one thing if she’s not in any capacity, the crowds are going to be “We want.Caitlin”We want.Caitlin” like they did at the Connecticut Sun game when the Home crowd was yelling We want.Caitlin” We want.Caitlin” when her coach had benched her for part of the third and the fourth quarter they were furious! again thank you for this video personally if she’s not, I’m not purposely.not Watching Women’s basketball they don’t care about people watching. I’m not gonna watch. There’s plenty other women’s sports to watch!
Then she should resign who ever she is
Wish the most beloved white basketball player of all time would give us his trash talk on what in the hell is happening.
Bird is the Word.
The Legend is too smart and has too much class to get entangled in this mess. Someone with his truly competitive nature and ultra intellectual grasp of basketball probably has as much trouble fathoming this as everyone else.
I just don't understand how the WNBA can do this to themselves. Imagine what the NBA would of become. If the league told MJ.... sorry, MJ, you have to sit this one out. Maybe four years from now, you can be on the Olympic team, oh, and we are holding you back from making history in the NBA.
Plus, if we bring you, it might grow the NBA to much. We don't want to many fans, or any more money, or popularity for the league. Imagine that? This is absurd.
THIS is exactly what is happening! We don't even have to imagine. So much self-sabotage and zero vision in the decision-making chairs at the WNBA. It's wild that the players aren't coached to boost the brand and women's basketball at ALL times. Here on display is the western sickness of women speaking ill of each other in a world where all there big problems are set steadfast by rich white men.
Right-- they could tell Michael, hey, you suck; Bird and the Celtics swept you twice.

Team USA is gonna lose without Caitlin Clark, and were all gonna laugh just like we did when that lame US womens soccer team totally blew it cuz they're all jealous no talent haters ,
Caitlin is a class act as well as being a stellar player. She's too good for this league by the way she handles herself.
Yes, her father (and the rest of the family backed it up) taught her what competition is about and how to conduct herself in the heat of the action and in life. She had her moments but, as in seemingly everything else, she learned the lessons and moved on to represent well. That is one of the biggest disappointments about this whole "Olympic" thing - she would have represented us well, something we can't expect from most of that team.
Great video Thank you for speaking the truth and coming with the the stats.
Clark turning the Italian women into a hoops powerhouse? Cool.
Taurasi was on the only team in women's college basketball at the time...all of the best high school players went there...making women's college basketball boring.
From Lebanon , I'm a big fan of Catlin Clark for more than 3 years . She's got lots of fans around the world , beleave it .
Yes, Caitlin deserves to be on the team. At this point, if she is invited on, she would do better to decline. As someone else already commented, she probably couldn't count on her team mates goodwill and support. Envy is a killer.
Man! That is so sad.... Team USA is really going to scew themselfs up! 😢
She wouldn't have seen any real court time anyway - just enough to not support her and make her look bad.
I will not be watching team USA basketball in the Olympics.
I kind of agree with you.... but I don't know --I'm also curious to see how bad (or good) they perform without Caitlan. If they succeed without her, I'll be darn surprised /impressed but it they proceed to get their butts kicked --I'll be laughing my head off! 😀
@@jeff-hopkins Jeff - you do realize that those he-women have been dominating the Olympics for years right ? They know they can win with their 2nd's off the bench on the court but they can't see the difference between easily winning one more meaningless gold medal and gaining world wide attention by acquiring a shooting star from their league.
@@jeff-hopkins theyve won like 7 consecutive times and many analyst say theyll win again. but their olympic wins didnt translate to profitability.
Curling 🥌 sounds so much better than Women’s Basketball without CC.
I will because I'm an American and those 12 women on the roster have earned it. Why would I be childish towards them and my country bc I don't agree with the roster. He'll they could send 12 college players and I would watch. Don't let others that make mistakes & make decisions you don't agree with lose the focus & big picture of the topic which is this is a major international event every 4 yrs to allow countries to compete to see who is the best at any given sport. That's it. Which ever country you are from or have a heritage from or friends/family from or living in you can support & root for them to all in good sportsmanship. But don't let people take away your love for your country & support whoever is sent to represent you & your country and be proud of that.
Would be awesome if she played for another country. Just to give the middle finger to team USA
I'm having trouble rooting for a team with an international drug dealer on it.
@@VeryOldMerche's a drug smuggler technically.
@@Azrael1486 ..and an anti-American drug smuggler at that. There is a hero for the youth to look up to.
Correct me if I am wrong, but if you make Taurasi a coach on the team USA and give that player slot to Caitlin, don't the couches also get a medal? They may not stand on the podium, but they still get a medal. It's like this. Assume for a moment that the Mariners win the World Series. I know what you're thinking, but go with me for the sake of expediency. The Mariners win the World Series. Doesn't Dan Wilson also get a World Series ring? Doesn't the pitching coach, the hitting coach, the 1st base coach, the 3rd base coach, and the conditioning coach?
She sure does belong on the team....she's a real bball player
Oh please Caitlin play for another country that would be epic.
You say that but then she'd never get invited to Team USA in the future.
@@lynnhazlewood9738 So what - the Olympics is a train wrench now. You just wait - speaking of trains, that is next.
Taurasi is so full of herself. Acting like winning championships is the only thing that matters. Ignore the details, the injuries, the talent around the individual players. No, It's all about chips. That is mainstream media for you.
What has Clark done? Anything? No. It's about EARNING what you get and just because a rookie is popular that don't EARN a thing
@@I.am_Groot but its been tradition to take the first overall pick from both NBA and WNBA for a while now. They usually don't see minutes but its tradition. People argue from business which is also valid. Why not get the player that literally has doubled your viewership? Its just tradition
@@laytonsteele1845 this is not true lol
@@laytonsteele1845 You are half right which makes you incorrect so let me give you some factual perspective though it won't matter because you need to be bad but here goes.. IF we were lobbying to include a #1 overall out of tradition it could be Aliyah Boston who was ROY and shot 40% from 3 much like Maya Moore was in 2012
Are you mad for Boston too or does she not check the right boxes for ya?
DT bragged about her UConn titles that got her on Team USA while CC is the Division I women's career scoring leader, and the all-time leader in points scored in Division I history. Plus many other records. It’s like you didn’t bother to even watch this video or bring facts.
Even if those women win another gold I will not watch a single game of it. Just like the 92 NBA put Chris on their team, They won gold. But weak emotions drive the WNBA and they will get what they deserve. Don’t put CC on that team. as a matter of fact, CC should never play for a USA team for an Olympics. Their actions prove their worth so CC, carry-on and let them go.
I agree but the reality of it is, they will probably win another gold medal but it won't be what they deserve.
CC should absolutely be on this team. She deserves it. ❤
Boycott USA Basketball so corrupt
UCONN has all star player while IOWA only had Caitlin. Their rank is far away but she brought the team twice in the natl championship. Win three times in Big Ten, first to win Dawn Staley award as freshman etc.
The fact that there is even such a thing as a Dawn Staley award is testament to the lack of consideration for the character of Staley before creating such a thing. What’s next? An OJ award for football? Only if they start a women’s football league…….
