Work with almost all women, and seriously… no one hates women quite like other women. Given my work, most of my friends are women, and we’ve talked about this whole thing. Two of them were basketball players in high school and one in college. But they doesn’t watch or care about the WNBA. They says the NBA is far and away more entertaining, and that the drama that gets spun up with the WNBA about pay and how they interact with the NBA is, “super embarrassing.” “This whole thing with Caitlin Clark is just super embarrassing as a woman… like, it’s all of our stereotypically worst behavior traits. Envy, pettiness, cattiness, and just shittiness! They’re the same girls who will go on and on about supporting women but they see one as more successful and better than they are… and prettier… they blow it all up and act like petty bitches and make the rest of look crazy…” ~female friend and ex college basketball player
In my opinion Women are never wrong if she is wrong I am wrong if I am wrong she is right if we are both wrong then am wrong. But hey that's just my wife 😂😂.
@@tigerlancer with WNBA's financial status, they can't afford another 4 years to market their brand globally.... they are in the red since the start of their league. and they want to wait another 4 years to market their biggest product internationally? are they stupid? if the NBA is not subsidizing the WNBA, they will be putting clark on the roster the moment she finished middle school.... WNBA is not on the rush to market clark because they knew if they lost money this year, the NBA will give them donations.... AGAIN
@@aurapris9591 I dunno, for the sake of argument, today, I guess you can call it hype. In four years time, CC could be considered mainstream. MJ's popularity only got bigger and bigger. No where near as big, Jeremy Lin still commands respect to this day for his contribution to the sport. But yeah, team USA screwed up. It's like game of thrones season 8. Cersei, Sansa and Arya just did not like or respect Daenerys Targaryen at all, even though she was bringing the smoke. They practically wanted to fight the night king and white walkers by themselves, when in hindsight, her dragons and armies did the majority of the work. It's like, hello, wake up, don't these wnba divas know wnba has always been teetering on bankruptcy since day 1?
Sad truth. None of them energize anyone. Some, who I won't mention, play woodenly; slow, tedious play. Caitlin e engined people, with her passes and occasionally fabulous shooting plays. Basketball IS MORE than basketball. It's a business, it's entertainment, and it's a sport. You want the best players. But you must remember those other things. I could not care less about what the coach, or committee say. When you add a player to your doormat team, and suddenly you're beating the best teams, there is something there. They dropped the ball. They need to get over it, check their bias at the door when they leave their house, and fix things, not make excuses.
Then go watch them y'all really some clowns cause all of a sudden y'all support the league because of one person which means y'all really don't know basketball and y'all some random bandwagons
@@fly327rc linsanity in team USA wbball and linsanity in the wnba? No thanks. I would rather pay $25 for a ticket and walk my way down to an empty courtside seat. 🤦
Clark is actually the player that they wish they could be. Her attitude is great, no baggage garbage of drug habits and drinking. She's not trying to live the party lifestyle, and she wants her TEAM to succeed. It's just pure jealousy.
Team USA seems horribly mismanaged. I agree that Clark should have been picked but another huge snub is Arike Ogunbowale who is probably the best player in the WNBA. She decided to not make herself available for selection after being snubbed by team USA for the last Olympics. Get rid of the coach and the whole committee. Bunch of bigoted dinosaurs.
The fact that I watched this whole video about Caitlyn Clark's snub at the USA Team Selection speaks for itself.. I never watched any WNBA-related video here on RUclips..
she's gonna change the WNBA game over the course of the next 2-3 seasons... much like Steph Curry did. his impact on basketball, especially the NBA, is the stuff of legend.
She has quite a bit of Larry Bird in her game. Glimmers of Magic Johnson. But not Steph, not yet. She needs to get more consistent to get that comparison.

@@LionofthetribeofJudah650 where did i ever say any of this delusional sh*t you're ranting on about? could you be more wrong or more of a d****e? i have even said on similar posts that the US women's basketball team is totally fine without Clark. so first get your facts straight, a$$wipe. then go F yourself.
I’ve never watched WNBA, never followed or wanted to until Caitlyn Clark started popping up on my RUclips. Now I told my parter to get tickets to watch Clark play. She is the face of the WNBA . It would be smart and profitable for them to work with Clark because not only will it elevate Clark but other players as well. Anyone who can’t see that is insecure and jealous of her meteoric rise to fame, money, and popularity. She has the talents and smarts to attract major crowds
So, the history of USA women's selection to the national team has included players in college and fresh out of college, it is evident, the major players in the WNBA as well as coaches despise the talents of Caitlin Clark, and Caitlin will not be the last.
I won't watch the FAKE EYELASHES, but I will always watch CC-22 anytime she hits A COURT, even if SHE LEAVES the WNBA... Just Sayin, and this First time WATCHER, will watch a true Spirit, She seems to always say the nicest things about everybody and anything, And all the youngsters will look up to this STAR.. YOU GO GIRL..

The WNBA has bilked the NBA for over 27 years and they had the chance to turn things around and their hate and lack of tolerance has them in a hot mess....the hate is real.
I take exception to her claim that CC wasn’t playing then as well as she is now. She came onto the worst team in the WNBA and did play her heart out but her team mates were not up to her level, dropping passes, missing buckets, turn overs, poor team defense. Now that her team has had a chance to practice and get up to her speed it’s like a whole different team and their record shows that! CC is very special, everyone should enjoy this while it is unfolding!
PLUS, they packed the worst team in the league's starting schedule vs all the hardest teams in such a short amount of time, trying to set Caitlin up to fail. She said NOPE!
hottest WNBA duo right now is the rookie guard and sophomore center Aliyah Boston. i really love how they've clicked. Fever in the playoffs for the first time since Tamika Catchings retired... and most of that is down to CC. some peeps are just flat out jealous of talent. that's all it is.
Our girls didn't seem to have a problem destroying Germany... I believe they're favored to win today's game vs Nigeria as well. I'm an Iowan and a Caitlin diehard, but you're unhinged if you think Team USA is a "laughing stock" of the Olympics. You either need some self-reflection, or else stop spouting ignorant shit on the internet.
Everyone who has been invested in the women's game up to now understandably resents the realisation that despite the years of toil and millions in NBA subsidies, their output just hasn't been good enough to make anybody-as Cheryl Reeve puts it-”give two shits". It hasn't been misogyny or racism-although they have had to overcome plenty of each-it's been indifference. The combined effort of every woman who has played in the WNBA has simply failed to muster the spectacle that Caitlin Clark brings by herself. Basketball fans don't have anything against fake eyelashes or bedazzled outfits but they're just decoration on the genuine spectacle of lights-out game. Everyone involved in the history of women's basketball should feel proud of the fights they've won and the roads they've paved so that those who follow can concentrate their energies on the on-court product. Maybe the attention and appreciation Caitlin Clark brings to the game are bit sudden to approach without at least a bit of caution, but it's perverse to _want_ to treat it as a threat rather than embrace it as the tipping point you've fought so hard to reach, or thanking fortune for finally delivering your just rewards.
@@Canbemore Not what that means. They're free to speak their opinion, and I'm free to point out how that opinion makes them a headass. You as well, it seems.
@@Trip-x1i I didn't say the Olympics. I said the World. They can go ahead and win the gold medal. They would still be the laughing stock of everything 'athletic'
They call themselves the "best players in the world" yet nobody wants to see them play. Serbia vs. Puerto Rico has more audience than them? Ha ha ha. Where are the fans of the "best players in the world".
I never knew that women behave like this toward each other. Men can hate and be jealous too, but not really to this level. Men are so much more supporting and happy for their peers success on average. Come on ladies, be better.
Australia here - Caitlin is very famous and popular over here in BB circles already. I’ll be watching Caitlin’s highlights on RUclips and NOT USA games at the Olympics. Other countries yes … Team USA not!. True Champions cannot be suppressed or ignored it is utter jealousy & absolute nonsense. Wish she was playing for us in Paris.
I’m just saying as a proud American, this is the only time I’m not rooting for my country to win 😂 we have heard them cry and moan about attendance for years, now look, got a golden goose and just jealous
Well if they're not regretting her as a coach and not putting Clark on the team they're fools. Griner shouldn't be on the team she's an embarrassment to this country
@@barbmillar7411 Lol go US women they just Thumped Australia what were you saying about them regretting not putting the ringless wonder on this talented gold winning team?
Stop the BS, all of you are gonna watch every second of the women’s games hoping that they lose. Give the CC parade a break , she’s really not that good and if you think so you’re not really a fan of basketball you’re a fan of this hype show that’s being pushed on everybody.
What total BS Staley is spewing! Her exclusion was absolutely purposeful. Don't forget that earlier in the WNBA season, the excuse for not letting her on the team was, "her fans would be disappointed because she wouldn't get much playing time" Stupid, jealous WNBA coaches simply didn't want her to steal anymore of the spotlight she garners. Race and sexual orientation likely was in play as well, but that is not allowed to be mentioned..
@@kalimbobo Sure, The majority (vast) of the WNBA players and coaches are lesbians and black. A large percentage of fans are lez as well, but that is slowly changing now. Clark is white and straight,and therefore not part of the "club" thats been in place the last 20 years. Add in her incredible talent, and petty jealousy, and you get this result.
She's always been supportive of Caitlin Clark. She just always shows respect for others including other coaches. So, even if she disagrees with Cheryl Reeve on anything (not just about CC), she would give her objective input and support the coach's decision.
You're in a delusion.. I'm from India and nobody has ever watched a womens basketball game ever in a country of billions. So little hype you got from catlyn instead of capitalizing on it they keep on working to lose the little hype they got.
Her coming out and saying what she said will protect her image in history. The rest of the committee will definitely be seen as villains -- especially if Caitlin grows to drj/magic/bird/MJ level.
The fact that the USA has the Least attendance at the O. Should’ve shamed them enough for the mistake they made but I wouldn’t call it really “a mistake”… That was a decision made out of scorn and ignorance mixed with sports politics but commercially dumb and senseless… And I will bet my sneakers that out of those attending the Olympics where the USA plays those games are THE LOCALS going to support their players… Why?? Because since Clark is not there, why should they go to see a team without Clark..?? So they go to support THEIR OWN.
@@DaaimShabazzTeam USA literally has won 8 gold medals in a row, adding CC in no way would’ve held them back from getting another gold medal. It would’ve brought more fans and in turn money to the game
@@darthvader421 That's not the way the Olympics work. Money is already accounted for in sponsorships signed a long time ago. I think they have the best players to win. The goal is to win gold, not to help the WNBA or cheer for one player. She'll have her chance.
Clark came into the league as a top player, a player who already is one of the top 5 players in the WNBA - anything out of the US Team management is BS
@@ranhill62 Clark leads the league in assists and Points and Assists at 35 Pts per game Fever averages 81 Pts per game or 43 % - match your list against Clark and you lose.

I wouldn't know who the top players are because I don't know many names. Only have any idea or interest at all because it CC. . Only watch CC highlights. I'm aware of Sabrina (from her 3p achievements and the event with Steph) and I have a lot of respect for Arike.
This Olympics is a classless freak show. I think it's best that Clark is not associated with it this year. A blessing in disguise. That said, jealousy & envy blocked her from membership on the USA Olympic team. I won't watch team USA either.
Very true. The future is looking brighter with at least the next 3 rookie classes. Eventually, the game in the WNBA is going to change if the league wants to compete with CC and the Fever. Now, this is all predicated on Sides being fired this off-season. The era is half court slow moving 80s hoops has been sentenced to death, thanks to Clark.
Classless freak show... Aww did the Olympics which is about the best from around the world regardless of color, religion, or political ideology not conform to your rigid standards? LMAO
@@I.am_Groot It is about the best so it is a major slap in the face what the Olympics did with the opening ceremony. That is the part that did not conform to the world's rigid standards. Laugh all you want while you go and watch those athletes in near empty arenas.

Disrespectful to all the women who put in the work before her. You can be a Clark fan without disparaging other players. I promise. All you gotta do is want to be a real fan
You gotta understand tho… Staley can’t just outright say CC should be on the team. It disrespects the girls on the current team. She clearly admires Caitlin, you can even check her speech after winning the NCAA championship where she gives Caitlin her props
No, I wouldn’t go that far. All the Olympicans have worked far too hard for far too long for the metals(except for men pretending to be female) to be devalued in any way. The venue, Paris, France, is the stinking mess. Paris has proved to be devastatingly stupid on many fronts.
My god they have ZERO business sense...With Lebron, and Caitlin, both men and woman's basketball would have been rocking Paris...No doubt the fans are punishing team USA for their snub of Caitlin.... The attendance was atrocious...Meanwhile they wanted to avoid media and fan craze instead they get empty arenas and crickets..
Smallest attendance, sponsors pulled out, losing 6o million in endorsement, all because of a bunch of masculine racist and haters, they knew Clark would have had 3o assist per game and broke records
Most of the teams in the W are lucky to have five or six thousand people show up. Caitlyn Clark sells out stadiums 18000 to 20000. If they went to Dallas and had it at Cowboy stadium, they would do 50000 people easily. I wish they would do a game at Indianapolis Colts' stadium and see. No other player can even come close to Caitlin period its not even close. Haters gonna hate it's what they do. They can't help themselves. You dont have to like her or folliw her, but the truth is the truth. She can not be ignored in the WNBA. The fans that fill her stadiums will not permit it. 🙏 every stadium she goes to is her stadium and the opposing players know it. They see and here her admirers.
Don't care to watch the Olympics. It's a blessing that Clark wasn't chosen. All Star out performed the Olympics team. All Star coach was better than the Olympics coach too. The Olympics is no longer what it was anyway.
If there's no C.C. I don't even watch any team. I mean.....no team. I just want to watch 3 points from halfway down the court! Unbefreakinlievable!!! I've never watched an NBA game and find myself watching C.C. not even knowing why I started watching, but when I see a stepback and a 3!!! Yaaaaaay!!! That's why!!! I'm not even a basketball fan. I'm 73 and watch cricket 🏏 in Australia. I'm not a fan of bitter women with 6 inch fingernails scratching each others eyes out because of jealousy.
You obviously don't understand basketball. And, oh by the way, CC is not nearly as good or as valuable as Breanna Stewart. Stewart won 4 national titles in college. How many for Clark? Oh that's right - none. Clark is a wonderful player and deserves all the acclaim she's getting but too many of her cult like following apparently never followed women's basketball and have no clue how good many of the other players really are. Shame on anyone who's so narrow minded they won't watch a fine American team because their favorite player isn't on it.
@@mikecarr7164 Regarding the titles Mike. Five players are on the floor, when one is setting all time scoring and assist records, I'm sure she is doing more than her share. Ask Steve and LeBron how she is doing. I'm sure they know basketball me not much, I only played in college.
@@mikecarr7164 Like it or not.. The agenda that you so fervently adhere to, of which is the core ideological mindset of today's women's basketball, is chock full of inconsistencies and influenced by the proxies of the archons via xenophobia.
On the one hand I agree with all this. On the other hand, I think this break from basketball will done WONDERS for Caitlin's mental health. I think her mental health has been pretty bad these last few months. If you watch the Fever's media availability postgame videos -- win or lose, Caitlin is there, eyes darting all around, frantically biting her nails, covering her mouth with her shirt, just overall looking anxious/stressed as hell. I think all the media attention and opinions from both sides has her super stressed out. I think a few months off and a good therapist will do her a WORLD of good. I care more about Caitlin Clark the person first and foremost.
That is a great observation.. With much craziness going on in Paris.. Caitlin Clark is not missing a thing. She'll be more than eager to give the Olympiad USA Women's Team a nice warm welcome home ! 😄
same. on the one hand, i would have been very happy if she was in the olympic team. then i will watch all their games. but now seeing how well rested she looks, i'm glad she is not on the team.
Committee straight up snubbed CC and are reaping the benefits of that trash decision! I mean they put Griner on the squad and even IF she was the best WNBA Player in the league, she should of not been on it as a rep for the US, due to her past choices.
@@einefes People of her her color and sexual preference are an under-represented and marginalized group in the WNBA. She was more than normal and repeatedly the object of trash talk on and off the court (even by a coach), physically bullied by players who wouldn’t hesitate to call her a “white b*tch”. Then she was snubbed for the Olympic team despite her obviously superior skills. Too new. Not enough “chemistry”. Some global majority commentators even said her “pretty privilege” wouldn’t help her in the big leagues. Every effort was made to deplatform her early on and to characterize her as naive, inexperienced, as uppity, an upstart member of the global minority. Micro aggressions and classic bigotry were apparent every time CC challenged the narratives of entrenched ideas in the WNBA. That would exhaust anyone.
The WNBA is structured to give black and LGBTQ women the "keys" to the league. They are the gatekeepers to a players success, if you do not conform they will put every roadblock imaginable in your path.
Bull Pucky, no one under 26 on Team USA, Diana Taurasi played as Rookie... Caitlin should be playing that slot. Angel Reese should have slot of Bob Griner.
Reeves, Staley both have over stuffed egos. They clearly resent the truly generational talent that is Caitlin Clark because they can't claim any stake in her success. Their authority is a sham, and their disingenuousness and hypocrisy are a shame. Any interested fan is shortchanged by their hypocrisy and their steeping lack of credibility, which just gets older by the day.
Caitlin broke so many of the records of the players actually picked for Team USA, so Staley's comment about Caitlin not playing as well as she is now falls flat. Like what, Caitlin goes back to square zero and has to prove herself all over? I think Staley's answer was PR. I'm actually happy Caitlin got a chance to take a week off in Mexico and refresh. She looks really relaxed now, in availability videos, and she can work with the team over the next few weeks and bust butts after the Olympic break. By the way, you have a way with putting your thoughts into a logical presentation, which is very compelling! :)
What you're saying is simply not true about records. She has a few. The main one is first rookie to record a triple-double. The second is assist record with 19. Those are great, but those were done long after they selected the team.
I posted this on another video and I believe is worth posting it again… When the WNBA Pulverized Literally the USA bunch, the WINNER of That Game should’ve gone to play in the Olympics PERIOD. Why Not..?? If they were Not “Good Enough” to Beat the Locals, Why should they (At All) Represent The United States of America Abroad..?? Ok Cheryl, you say those you did Not Picked are not good enough for the Olympics, Let’s put your money where your mouth is… Let’s do one competitive game and the Winner Goes and the Losers Stay Home, How about that..?? And this should’ve been done publicly and on TV so she has nowhere to Run and No How to “Give One or Two Sheets About it”… Uh..?? You’re IN or You’re OUT..???
The snub worked out best for Clark since she got some much needed time off and also avoided the Olympics fiasco caused by the disgusting opening ceremony with spreading backlash in viewership on TV as well as live. They had to lower ticket prices to entice people back.
Nope...she is too haggardly unpresentable in front of the world... I'm sorry but for world stage this time around... Physical appearances do make a difference....case in point, would you most likely support an old tired looking coach or perhaps a vibrant, energetic and full of enthusiasm type of person??? I'd say the latter makes more sense to me...after all, we're trying to grow the sport NOT scare potential promoters and investors away, RIGHT???
How could she have played better when she was getting knocked down and facepalmed and slapped down and fouled and fouled and fouled and ignored. How was she supposed to play better when her team didn't even have her back until now. Don't say oh she wasn't playing on par when y'all purposely threw her under the bus to build "rivalries" to build publicity. They thought they were gonna snub her and it was gonna cause a furor and people would give a crap about team USA when they've left off the only player that 97% has ever even heard of.
Dawn should never coach for team usa again and never be the deciding factor for who goes on the team. This New gen vs the old guard BS needs to STOP 😒The women making this anything other than the best being played for the country is disgusting. Hating the new class because theyre the ones saving the WNBA is disgusting
I root for the USA, not just one player. Perhaps you don't understand it's a TEAM sport, not a cult of personality. Having said that I also love Clark's game and think she would have made a fine addition to the Olympic team.
It's a load of bull crap. Chelsea Gray was injured until June 19, her first game back of the 2024 season. They made the announcement on June 11th. They made sure to ask Gray when she was expected to return - guarantee. How do you pick someone for the Olympics that didn't play one game? Then you say Caitlin Clark wasn't playing well at the time, but actually she was. On June 10, Clark had 78 Assists and 210 points - season totals at the time. Chelsea Gray had 0 Assists and 0 Points at the time. But it was Caitlin Clark that wasn't playing well. They must think we don't check Basketball Reference.
Has anyone thought about Caitlin Clark being the floor manager when she plays because she sees more, she sees it faster and she outshoots almost everybody might have a problem with eleven Prima Donnas unwilling to follow her lead? It wouldn’t require very much Hate Caitlin attitude to tank the Olympics. Does anyone believe that a group of women could not be that petty?
Team USA also snubbed Angel Reese and she should also have been picked for our Olympic team. Caitlin and Angel have shown their power together. I admire both of them for their talent and skill.
I have a feeling the Team USA head coach will "have other opportunities" after this olympics. She won't be back. I also have a feeling many of the committee members will also have "other obligations" or "begin to transition out" of their roles. Team USA structure will significantly change. Not having Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese has absolutely brought about this change. The sponsors will ensure this happens!
She should have been picked over the 42 year old that looks winded after the 1st quarter. Not only is she a great player, but a nice person. She's had many opportunities to speak badly about others on the team and the coaches and has always tried to make it sound okay that she wasn't chosen.
I think the coach was pressured by her team to not take caitlin. so much hate has been thrown her way and envy is a sin. If i was a betting man i would bet it was the chick who is 42. She would be respected by her team enough to go along with her and the coach would also not want to piss her off
I'm not sure it was taurasi honestly. I think it was Reeve she is a radical activist and has made overtures that she thinks clark and her fans are racist.
@@CamMehmen-hh8hn Taurasi is running the show. i have seen nothing but hate from her towards caitlin and that is what she is saying in interviews. What is she like when the camera is not on?
Coming out of college clark was superior to both Stewart and Taurasi when they came out. Both were selected to the Olympic team and clark was not. This smells of Uconn grads getting preferential treatment (rizzotti). Staley despite what she says, has had a bug up her ass about Clark since she lost to her at the final four-snubbing her for the point guard award for hidalgo, making snarky comments about her in the middle of the season, calling her coach a racist, ect. Reeve has openly attacked her since she came to the league, 94' defensive pressure in an all star game?, back handed comments about the league being about more than one person, and don't think for second that black girls rock shirt wasn't aimed at clark and her fans because she thinks they are racist for some reason. Just a few examples of why clark wasn't invited and it's pretty gross behavior from the "adults" in the room.
@@CamMehmen-hh8hn It smells of veterans getting respect. Is Booker the best guy at his position the men could have brought in? No. But he gets respect. It only gets complicated when you start looking for things to be mad about
I won’t be watching any US women basketball games, as,a show of support, and hope many do the same. Not that we shouldn’t support the team, or if it’s the team fault, but a statement has to be made about the corruption and lack of justice, especially when it comes to coach Reeve who is clearly biased against CC for no reason at all except for refusing to accept her mistake in not seeing her greatness from the beginning while everyone else did….
@@mikecarr7164 You mean the team who was blown out by a group of second bests? who were not good enough to be on the team?? Naaa don’t think I’ll be missing anything. I am from Las Vegas anyway, and Caitlin Clark is not on my team, but I know talent when I see it, and there should be no place for bias on the US team. The selection was made a month early, BEFORE Clark started showing her numbers, so it was not a fair evaluation of her. If they had waited until the deadline, she would have been a shoe in, but “someone” did not want her on the team. Arike Ogunbowale removed herself from the team before final selection for the SAME reason, so excuse me if I don’t support a corrupt system… I’ll be back to support those great players when they’re back on their WNBA respective teams, but for now, this is my way to show support. I’m not judging anyone watching them on TV, but I believe it’s the right thing to do to make a point, because ratings are important to the league as much as the players are, if not more, and by getting low viewer ratings, this is where the message gets across. This is not just about Caitlin Clark but about protesting bias and corruption, and I don’t think I’ll be missing anything; like I said, the best players were left behind, and players like Taurasi should not be on the team just because of their history and legendary status, they are past their prime, and the team should be represented by the best not by dissing others for spite. Everyone knows how much Reeve dislikes Clark and she never tried to hide it; Clark’s place on the team should be decided on merit not because of bias…You enjoy the games my friend, I’ll simply will be rooting for them while watching the highlights, same support, different ways… 😁✌🏻🇺🇸
Someone needs to look at Geno Auriemmo about his role on selection committee in rejecting CC. He may feel a certain way because he snubbed her for college as well.
The coach has to resign her position... she's outdated, you pick the best of the best, even when you have the golden goose you try to kill it instead of getting the golden eggs... financially makes no sense, is like benching Jordan or Barkley, Ewing, Bird, Magic, Kobe, KD, just cause they will make money for you, or even bring recognition to the game.... that head coach is done, she should really resign or hang up her gloves, she's not fit to make money or make anything with the team or even to acknowledge whem she's wrong
The women's team got what they wanted and are now unhappy because no one is watching them. What did they really expect to happen after Clark was snubbed? Everything she touches turns to gold. Huge mistake! Fire Staley and get a new head coach for the team. Their emotions have clouded their judgment.
The US women's basketball team has taken over the US women's soccer team as the most hated. During the last Olympics, many Americans were hoping for the US women's soccer team to lose games because of their rotten attitudes. Once again, bad attitudes (though for a different reason), have many Americans rooting against their own team.
Never underestimate a woman's ability to hate on another woman who's better than her.
Work with almost all women, and seriously… no one hates women quite like other women. Given my work, most of my friends are women, and we’ve talked about this whole thing.

Nah, just 4 years. You can bet CC is going to be on the 2028 team USA roster.
@@tigerlancer with WNBA's financial status, they can't afford another 4 years to market their brand globally.... they are in the red since the start of their league. and they want to wait another 4 years to market their biggest product internationally? are they stupid? if the NBA is not subsidizing the WNBA, they will be putting clark on the roster the moment she finished middle school.... WNBA is not on the rush to market clark because they knew if they lost money this year, the NBA will give them donations.... AGAIN
@@tigerlanceryes but the hype around Clark won't be the same in four years
@@aurapris9591 I dunno, for the sake of argument, today, I guess you can call it hype. In four years time, CC could be considered mainstream.
MJ's popularity only got bigger and bigger. No where near as big, Jeremy Lin still commands respect to this day for his contribution to the sport.
But yeah, team USA screwed up. It's like game of thrones season 8. Cersei, Sansa and Arya just did not like or respect Daenerys Targaryen at all, even though she was bringing the smoke. They practically wanted to fight the night king and white walkers by themselves, when in hindsight, her dragons and armies did the majority of the work.
It's like, hello, wake up, don't these wnba divas know wnba has always been teetering on bankruptcy since day 1?
Wonder if they can sue her for lost potential revenue for such an obviously emotional decision. #haterssuck
Reeves is finished. No one in their right mind would want that cancer around their team. She is the best example of unmarketable
so are some of the mad black lesbians
Rather watch Caitlin Clark highlights than the USA women’s team😂😂😂
Sad truth. None of them energize anyone. Some, who I won't mention, play woodenly; slow, tedious play. Caitlin e engined people, with her passes and occasionally fabulous shooting plays. Basketball IS MORE than basketball. It's a business, it's entertainment, and it's a sport. You want the best players. But you must remember those other things.
I could not care less about what the coach, or committee say. When you add a player to your doormat team, and suddenly you're beating the best teams, there is something there.
They dropped the ball. They need to get over it, check their bias at the door when they leave their house, and fix things, not make excuses.
No ones watching. US force feeding us the WNBA. One player does not make an entire league watchable. Fucking annoyying.
Then go watch them y'all really some clowns cause all of a sudden y'all support the league because of one person which means y'all really don't know basketball and y'all some random bandwagons
What women’s team they are trash players and trash “professionals“ … they are only professional beggers for handouts
@@fly327rc linsanity in team USA wbball and linsanity in the wnba? No thanks. I would rather pay $25 for a ticket and walk my way down to an empty courtside seat. 🤦
It’s wild that these ladies complain about exposure but the min they get an opportunity they’re petty and jealous.
Clark is actually the player that they wish they could be. Her attitude is great, no baggage garbage of drug habits and drinking. She's not trying to live the party lifestyle, and she wants her TEAM to succeed.
It's just pure jealousy.
I haven't watched a USA game and don't plan to. The boycott is working.😂😂😂
Team USA seems horribly mismanaged. I agree that Clark should have been picked but another huge snub is Arike Ogunbowale who is probably the best player in the WNBA. She decided to not make herself available for selection after being snubbed by team USA for the last Olympics. Get rid of the coach and the whole committee. Bunch of bigoted dinosaurs.
Good point about Ogunbowale. Her three pointers have been on fire. I'd add Angel Reese as well to that short list of overlooked players.
@@KRS_two they will win without her
Arike didn't want anything to do with Team USA and it's politics. She declined.
Exactly! You nailed it!
ABSOLUTELY.
Now olympic audience SNUBBED them. They have the historical record of the LOWEST AUDIENCE in the 2024 Women's basketball in the olympics
If CC had been on the team the audience worldwide would have quadrupled. Pure stupidity not to have selected her.
Now they are snubbed by audience and fans. Serbia vs Puerto Rico has more fans and audience than them.

I've never seen an WNBA player like Caitlin Clark. She shoots 3's like Stephon Curry. Her reaction time is so fast. She had 19 assists in one game.
she's gonna change the WNBA game over the course of the next 2-3 seasons... much like Steph Curry did. his impact on basketball, especially the NBA, is the stuff of legend.
Steph Curry the male Caitlin Clark.
She has quite a bit of Larry Bird in her game. Glimmers of Magic Johnson. But not Steph, not yet. She needs to get more consistent to get that comparison.

I’ve never watched WNBA, never followed or wanted to until Caitlyn Clark started popping up on my RUclips. Now I told my parter to get tickets to watch Clark play. She is the face of the WNBA . It would be smart and profitable for them to work with Clark because not only will it elevate Clark but other players as well. Anyone who can’t see that is insecure and jealous of her meteoric rise to fame, money, and popularity. She has the talents and smarts to attract major crowds
Well said 🏀
So, the history of USA women's selection to the national team has included players in college and fresh out of college, it is evident, the major players in the WNBA as well as coaches despise the talents of Caitlin Clark, and Caitlin will not be the last.

The WNBA has bilked the NBA for over 27 years and they had the chance to turn things around and their hate and lack of tolerance has them in a hot mess....the hate is real.
I take exception to her claim that CC wasn’t playing then as well as she is now. She came onto the worst team in the WNBA and did play her heart out but her team mates were not up to her level, dropping passes, missing buckets, turn overs, poor team defense. Now that her team has had a chance to practice and get up to her speed it’s like a whole different team and their record shows that! CC is very special, everyone should enjoy this while it is unfolding!
Finally someone telling it like it is… Right on Bullseye target.
PLUS, they packed the worst team in the league's starting schedule vs all the hardest teams in such a short amount of time, trying to set Caitlin up to fail. She said NOPE!
Very spot on comments and well spoken by some very eloquent writers.
hottest WNBA duo right now is the rookie guard and sophomore center Aliyah Boston. i really love how they've clicked. Fever in the playoffs for the first time since Tamika Catchings retired... and most of that is down to CC.

@@Trip-x1iFreedom of speech and opinion. I know it's a hard to concept to grasp 😂
Everyone who has been invested in the women's game up to now understandably resents the realisation that despite the years of toil and millions in NBA subsidies, their output just hasn't been good enough to make anybody-as Cheryl Reeve puts it-”give two shits". It hasn't been misogyny or racism-although they have had to overcome plenty of each-it's been indifference. The combined effort of every woman who has played in the WNBA has simply failed to muster the spectacle that Caitlin Clark brings by herself. Basketball fans don't have anything against fake eyelashes or bedazzled outfits but they're just decoration on the genuine spectacle of lights-out game.
Everyone involved in the history of women's basketball should feel proud of the fights they've won and the roads they've paved so that those who follow can concentrate their energies on the on-court product. Maybe the attention and appreciation Caitlin Clark brings to the game are bit sudden to approach without at least a bit of caution, but it's perverse to _want_ to treat it as a threat rather than embrace it as the tipping point you've fought so hard to reach, or thanking fortune for finally delivering your just rewards.
@@Canbemore Not what that means. They're free to speak their opinion, and I'm free to point out how that opinion makes them a headass. You as well, it seems.

Complete BS by Dawn. She watched Caitlin beat her undefeated team in 2023 then met her again in 2024. She easily knew she was a great player.
Busted!
Yeah, I'm sure she's been told to do damage control. The team owners have probably been talking to each other, and they're not happy.
Your exactly right
Correct😊
Oh...so that is why. These OLD BITTER DUDES snubbed her. Now olympic audience SNUBBED them.
I never knew that women behave like this toward each other. Men can hate and be jealous too, but not really to this level. Men are so much more supporting and happy for their peers success on average. Come on ladies, be better.
Australia here - Caitlin is very famous and popular over here in BB circles already. I’ll be watching Caitlin’s highlights on RUclips and NOT USA games at the Olympics. Other countries yes … Team USA not!. True Champions cannot be suppressed or ignored it is utter jealousy & absolute nonsense. Wish she was playing for us in Paris.

What total BS Staley is spewing! Her exclusion was absolutely purposeful. Don't forget that earlier in the WNBA season, the excuse for not letting her on the team was, "her fans would be disappointed because she wouldn't get much playing time" Stupid, jealous WNBA coaches simply didn't want her to steal anymore of the spotlight she garners. Race and sexual orientation likely was in play as well, but that is not allowed to be mentioned..
Enlighten me on the sexual orientation thing. Honest question. I thought at least that aspect confirmed to mainstream
@@kalimbobo Sure, The majority (vast) of the WNBA players and coaches are lesbians and black. A large percentage of fans are lez as well, but that is slowly changing now.

dawn is trying hard to get the egg off her face, But the USA coach has a attitude wow, not sure how any person could play for her
She's always been supportive of Caitlin Clark. She just always shows respect for others including other coaches. So, even if she disagrees with Cheryl Reeve on anything (not just about CC), she would give her objective input and support the coach's decision.

Very true. The future is looking brighter with at least the next 3 rookie classes. Eventually, the game in the WNBA is going to change if the league wants to compete with CC and the Fever. Now, this is all predicated on Sides being fired this off-season. The era is half court slow moving 80s hoops has been sentenced to death, thanks to Clark.

Most of the teams in the W are lucky to have five or six thousand people show up. Caitlyn Clark sells out stadiums 18000 to 20000. If they went to Dallas and had it at Cowboy stadium, they would do 50000 people easily. I wish they would do a game at Indianapolis Colts' stadium and see. No other player can even come close to Caitlin period its not even close. Haters gonna hate it's what they do. They can't help themselves. You dont have to like her or folliw her, but the truth is the truth. She can not be ignored in the WNBA. The fans that fill her stadiums will not permit it. 🙏 every stadium she goes to is her stadium and the opposing players know it. They see and here her admirers.

On the one hand I agree with all this. On the other hand, I think this break from basketball will done WONDERS for Caitlin's mental health.

If you watch the Fever's media availability postgame videos -- win or lose, Caitlin is there, eyes darting all around, frantically biting her nails, covering her mouth with her shirt, just overall looking anxious/stressed as hell. I think all the media attention and opinions from both sides has her super stressed out. I think a few months off and a good therapist will do her a WORLD of good. I care more about Caitlin Clark the person first and foremost.
That and a coach that does not support her! She wants her to fail.

Then she was snubbed for the Olympic team despite her obviously superior skills. Too new. Not enough “chemistry”.
Some global majority commentators even said her “pretty privilege” wouldn’t help her in the big leagues. Every effort was made to deplatform her early on and to characterize her as naive, inexperienced, as uppity, an upstart member of the global minority.
Micro aggressions and classic bigotry were apparent every time CC challenged the narratives of entrenched ideas in the WNBA.

Caitlin should be playing that slot.
Angel Reese should have slot of Bob Griner.
Reeves, Staley both have over stuffed egos. They clearly resent the truly generational talent that is Caitlin Clark because they can't claim any stake in her success. Their authority is a sham, and their disingenuousness and hypocrisy are a shame. Any interested fan is shortchanged by their hypocrisy and their steeping lack of credibility, which just gets older by the day.
Caitlin broke so many of the records of the players actually picked for Team USA, so Staley's comment about Caitlin not playing as well as she is now falls flat. Like what, Caitlin goes back to square zero and has to prove herself all over? I think Staley's answer was PR. I'm actually happy Caitlin got a chance to take a week off in Mexico and refresh. She looks really relaxed now, in availability videos, and she can work with the team over the next few weeks and bust butts after the Olympic break. By the way, you have a way with putting your thoughts into a logical presentation, which is very compelling! :)
What you're saying is simply not true about records. She has a few. The main one is first rookie to record a triple-double. The second is assist record with 19. Those are great, but those were done long after they selected the team.
I posted this on another video and I believe is worth posting it again… When the WNBA Pulverized Literally the USA bunch, the WINNER of That Game should’ve gone to play in the Olympics PERIOD. Why Not..?? If they were Not “Good Enough” to Beat the Locals, Why should they (At All) Represent The United States of America Abroad..?? Ok Cheryl, you say those you did Not Picked are not good enough for the Olympics, Let’s put your money where your mouth is… Let’s do one competitive game and the Winner Goes and the Losers Stay Home, How about that..?? And this should’ve been done publicly and on TV so she has nowhere to Run and No How to “Give One or Two Sheets About it”… Uh..?? You’re IN or You’re OUT..???
The snub worked out best for Clark since she got some much needed time off and also avoided the Olympics fiasco caused by the disgusting opening ceremony with spreading backlash in viewership on TV as well as live. They had to lower ticket prices to entice people back.

On June 10, Clark had 78 Assists and 210 points - season totals at the time. Chelsea Gray had 0 Assists and 0 Points at the time.
But it was Caitlin Clark that wasn't playing well.
They must think we don't check Basketball Reference.
Did she just say "she wasn't doing bad?"😂
More people are watching Fever games than US Olympics games. So there's that.
Has anyone thought about Caitlin Clark being the floor manager when she plays because she sees more, she sees it faster and she outshoots almost everybody might have a problem with eleven Prima Donnas unwilling to follow her lead? It wouldn’t require very much Hate Caitlin attitude to tank the Olympics. Does anyone believe that a group of women could not be that petty?
Team USA also snubbed Angel Reese and she should also have been picked for our Olympic team. Caitlin and Angel have shown their power together. I admire both of them for their talent and skill.
toxic culture and management in wnba
Jealousy in a woman is really TOTAL.
Ooo toxic are they? You been paying attention to the W for what.. a week? And its toxic. LMAO
@@I.am_Groot You should talk. lol.
I have a feeling the Team USA head coach will "have other opportunities" after this olympics. She won't be back. I also have a feeling many of the committee members will also have "other obligations" or "begin to transition out" of their roles. Team USA structure will significantly change. Not having Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese has absolutely brought about this change. The sponsors will ensure this happens!
She should have been picked over the 42 year old that looks winded after the 1st quarter. Not only is she a great player, but a nice person. She's had many opportunities to speak badly about others on the team and the coaches and has always tried to make it sound okay that she wasn't chosen.
That winded player is the Michael Jordan of women's basketball. You don't leave off the GOAT.
@@mikecarr7164 You be eating *menu,* instead of the Dinner. lol.
If they don't win the gold they will never hear the end of it. Hope it doesn't blow up in their faces.
I think the coach was pressured by her team to not take caitlin. so much hate has been thrown her way and envy is a sin. If i was a betting man i would bet it was the chick who is 42. She would be respected by her team enough to go along with her and the coach would also not want to piss her off
I'm not sure it was taurasi honestly. I think it was Reeve she is a radical activist and has made overtures that she thinks clark and her fans are racist.
@@CamMehmen-hh8hn well karma is a Beeep.
@@terrytourettes9251 wtf are you talking about.
@@CamMehmen-hh8hn Taurasi is running the show. i have seen nothing but hate from her towards caitlin and that is what she is saying in interviews. What is she like when the camera is not on?
THAT IS WHAT YOU GET FOR HURTING THE GIRL SHE DONT NEED THEM
Dawn Staley,Cheryl Reeve,and Jennifer Rizzoti,are the 3 women,who did not want Clark on the team.
Blah blah blah. Team USA is about more than popularity.
Coming out of college clark was superior to both Stewart and Taurasi when they came out. Both were selected to the Olympic team and clark was not. This smells of Uconn grads getting preferential treatment (rizzotti). Staley despite what she says, has had a bug up her ass about Clark since she lost to her at the final four-snubbing her for the point guard award for hidalgo, making snarky comments about her in the middle of the season, calling her coach a racist, ect. Reeve has openly attacked her since she came to the league, 94' defensive pressure in an all star game?, back handed comments about the league being about more than one person, and don't think for second that black girls rock shirt wasn't aimed at clark and her fans because she thinks they are racist for some reason. Just a few examples of why clark wasn't invited and it's pretty gross behavior from the "adults" in the room.
@@CamMehmen-hh8hn It smells of veterans getting respect. Is Booker the best guy at his position the men could have brought in? No. But he gets respect. It only gets complicated when you start looking for things to be mad about
@@I.am_Groot You're a part of the vicious cycle caught up in hatred, and being consumed by it.
@@CanopusJupiter 🤣 Not even close. I do appreciate your faux trauma response. Go find another Boogeyman the W doesn't need you ☑️
I won’t be watching any US women basketball games, as,a show of support, and hope many do the same. Not that we shouldn’t support the team, or if it’s the team fault, but a statement has to be made about the corruption and lack of justice, especially when it comes to coach Reeve who is clearly biased against CC for no reason at all except for refusing to accept her mistake in not seeing her greatness from the beginning while everyone else did….
Don't watch. Your loss. If you're actually a basketball fan then you'll be missing the incredible games of Stewart and Wilson.
@@mikecarr7164 You mean the team who was blown out by a group of second bests? who were not good enough to be on the team?? Naaa don’t think I’ll be missing anything. I am from Las Vegas anyway, and Caitlin Clark is not on my team, but I know talent when I see it, and there should be no place for bias on the US team. The selection was made a month early, BEFORE Clark started showing her numbers, so it was not a fair evaluation of her. If they had waited until the deadline, she would have been a shoe in, but “someone” did not want her on the team. Arike Ogunbowale removed herself from the team before final selection for the SAME reason, so excuse me if I don’t support a corrupt system… I’ll be back to support those great players when they’re back on their WNBA respective teams, but for now, this is my way to show support. I’m not judging anyone watching them on TV, but I believe it’s the right thing to do to make a point, because ratings are important to the league as much as the players are, if not more, and by getting low viewer ratings, this is where the message gets across. This is not just about Caitlin Clark but about protesting bias and corruption, and I don’t think I’ll be missing anything; like I said, the best players were left behind, and players like Taurasi should not be on the team just because of their history and legendary status, they are past their prime, and the team should be represented by the best not by dissing others for spite. Everyone knows how much Reeve dislikes Clark and she never tried to hide it; Clark’s place on the team should be decided on merit not because of bias…You enjoy the games my friend, I’ll simply will be rooting for them while watching the highlights, same support, different ways… 😁✌🏻🇺🇸
@@mikecarr7164 Yeah right... Goes well with the Paris Clown Show you so proudly support.. Smh.
WILL WATCH Caitlin Clark WILL NOT WATCH usa team!!!
I feel like NBA players and coaches are well coached in talking to the media, while in WNBA all hells break loose
All points really well layer out. Great video
WNBA players demand high pay but they don’t know how to monopolize. What a shame.
Someone needs to look at Geno Auriemmo about his role on selection committee in rejecting CC. He may feel a certain way because he snubbed her for college as well.
Send Britney back to Russia and replace with Clark
I was watching until I find out Clark wasn’t selected for team USA, which is the stupidest mistake. Bye
Boycott B team in the Olympics
To Catlin: Too bad the coaches don't see how fabulous a basketball player you are!
Keep up the great performance!
I love following your games!
Hell hath no fury like a woman outshined ~ Haters gonna hate.
her response is absolutely stupid. its so clear she has been on her game none stop. these excuses are just stupid
cc,reese arike and Boston should definitely be on the Olympic team
You said it! Good call!
women are jealous? no way!!! 🤣😂
Great analysis! Great commentary! Well said!
Its the USA B team that is playing in the womens basketball olympic event.
The two best players in the world are names Stewart and Wilson. What on earth are you talking about.
@@mikecarr7164 the all-star team begs to disagree
@@mikecarr7164 On the contrary.. What on this Living Earth are *you* talking about ?
You be eating the *"menu"* instead of the Dinner.
The coach has to resign her position... she's outdated, you pick the best of the best, even when you have the golden goose you try to kill it instead of getting the golden eggs... financially makes no sense, is like benching Jordan or Barkley, Ewing, Bird, Magic, Kobe, KD, just cause they will make money for you, or even bring recognition to the game.... that head coach is done, she should really resign or hang up her gloves, she's not fit to make money or make anything with the team or even to acknowledge whem she's wrong
This is what we call ‘Tall poppy syndrome’
The women's team got what they wanted and are now unhappy because no one is watching them. What did they really expect to happen after Clark was snubbed? Everything she touches turns to gold. Huge mistake! Fire Staley and get a new head coach for the team. Their emotions have clouded their judgment.
The US women's basketball team has taken over the US women's soccer team as the most hated. During the last Olympics, many Americans were hoping for the US women's soccer team to lose games because of their rotten attitudes.
Once again, bad attitudes (though for a different reason), have many Americans rooting against their own team.
