To go to the Olympics you need to be part of the "club" ...the "Old Guard"...seniority reigns, not popularity. Not good business and the Olympics is a business. My guess of viewership for tomorrow's Fever v Sky game in Chicago? Twenty million...
Just subscribed, she's helping bring a wake-up call to all sports. She is showing the world what a person can really be without blaming, whining. She's a class act. People will watch People like her that stick to her sport without telling people what they should believe and do. Hopefully they will learn what sports fans really enjoy watching.
CC has three gold medals of her own on the USA under 16 team and under 19 team which included international play. She has the experience and the stats to be on the team but I shudder to think what the Olympic team would do to her if she were on the team this time with all those haters.
It can be said now that CC is on the charts beating Diana, you can bet on Diana NOT giving up her spot when she knows she should. This is a selfish woman. She is selfish to all the players she supposedly supports. She is selfish against CC. She will stop the most sell of fan items. She will stop the money flowing into the WNBA. She will stop the world that wants to see CC. She wants her 6th gold medal. By some fate greatest than you or me can prevent that from happening and I pray that it does. She would go out in the blaze of hatred and selfishness greater than one could imagine. Could that fate be that CC plays for another country?
Tarausi is one of those people who is still living in her glory days like that's all she has. Who would she be without BBall? She's past her prime but won't let go. Maybe after the Olympics she'll announce her retirement. I hope the All Stars deliver a humiliating loss to the Olympic team when they play them.
The strange part being the reason she was not selected, that just March 2024 Clark was one of 14 players and no other college players had an invitation, from the U.S. national team to the final training camp 2024 Summer Olympics. It was noted she was playing in the finals 2024 NCAA not able to make training camp. It was also noted she would be watched playing on her performance in the WNBA 2024, in helping determine its final 2024 Olympic roster. When not making the roster, the excuse was lack of international play but also not having experience playing with the senior national team. Then why the invitation when she had not left college. Being in the WNBA would give her more experience than would have not had. The lack of any international play I suggest someone did not do their homework for what I list below should have been more than enough even over half of the selected players in the roster. 'Junior national team Clark represented the United States at the 2017 FIBA Under-16 Women's Americas Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She came off the bench and averaged 8.8 points per game, helping her team achieve a 5-0 record and win the gold medal.[170] Clark played at the 2019 FIBA Under-19 Women's Basketball World Cup in Bangkok, Thailand. In seven games, she averaged 5.3 points per game and won another gold medal, as her team finished with a 7-0 record.[171] Clark competed at the 2021 FIBA Under-19 Women's Basketball World Cup in Debrecen, Hungary and led the United States to the gold medal. She averaged a team-high 14.3 points, 5.6 assists, and 5.3 rebounds per game, was named Most Valuable Player and made the All-Tournament Team.[172]'
Not only was this an intentional snub to Clark, but, the way they waited til the last minute and gave it to Griner was just to rub it in the faces of all the white and Christian and straight fans. Just their way of saying f*ck you. We don't need you. This may be the final straw for the wnba. American women's basketball team won 7 gold medals in a row and the only reason anybody knows this is the Clark controversy. So after they win an 8th Medal nobody will know about, after the excitement of Clark wains; the viewership will go back down and by the time four more years goes by for Clark(and Reese) to hit the Olympics it will likely be too late. What a shame. All because women just have to be c*nty.
It’s more so experience with the selected team, DT, Stewie, Griner, AT, Aja, and Plum have all played together a lot. Last outing they played so horribly no one on the squad shot above 30% they almost lost to Belgium 🇧🇪 if Clark was on this team and they happened to lose, she’d get all the blame
Tbf, Griner is the best Olympic player, foreign women have nothing on her size. Last Olympic outing the whole squad failed to shoot above 30% everybody out there just throwing the ball up and praying, tied with Belgium with 11 seconds to go. Wouldn’t have happened if Griner was healthy
She could have gone home early and it wouldn't have made a difference to the score. Standing in the corner, running about to get free with a good look only to watch Wheeler run into a wall of defenders and throw the ball with no hope of a bucket.
@@BenjWarrantthe coach don’t stop her from shooting, CC can read the floor and usually she drawing two defenders out so she passes to the open player, Sky has two 6’4 and 6’7 players that was will to guard her she can’t shoot over that CC has to find a better way to get open down the stretch of a game
@@odysseymack9122 Coach do stop her from shooting. There's no other reason why Caitlin's play in every one of the 17 matches so far has been qualitatively different from the way she was shooting at Iowa.
It's getting a little better imo Something I will say that needs working on Mitchell She's playing great with the ball, however, off the ball... She isn't supporting CC enough Making the correct runs when CC is doubled up with defenders That's an important role for her since she is the escape plan I do think Sides is the problem still imo She is doing better than I gave her credit for earlier on in the season But there's things she is doing still that makes no sense I like she has gotten on top of screening a bit That will keep improving I'm sure But still seeing bad quarters with bad choices by her She still isn't letting CC run the court from the back And she does need to talk with Mitchell, about her off ball positions and runs Still, could be a lot worse On a winner streak so let's not be to hard on them (after I posted all this negative stuff haha)
What pisses me off is this race crap. Shocker, I'm white and to top it off, I'm 80 years old. I am a sports guy, favorite sports hero of all time was Mr. Jim Brown. Basketball, Wilt Chamberlain, baseball, Ken Griffey Jr., WNBA, Caitlin Clark. Huge fan of the Magic-Bird rivalry. To say race has a play in any sports is BS. At least not for white people. Sports are filled with black "heros" for all races. Race is NOT an issue. Stop it.
It is in this case, because even though she is good, she is not even in the top ten. The media is producing the fan base. They could do the same for the better players.
@@troybody6662 I thought we were talking about rookies. Clark is the top rookie and its not close. Will she win ROTY, I don't think so, those in control have another agenda.
@@robertward553 Even as a rookie she is still not amongst the top 10. Google it. I don't think that she is even in the top 20? She is too inconsistant.
@@troybody6662 The media couldn't, because you never know who the system disruptor is going to be. Not to mention, Caitlin Clark was a collegiate prodigy and broke the all-time NCAA scoring record, men's or women's. Now let's look back in history. Going to back to Larry Bird, whenever you have had a sport dominated by one race or ethnic group, the one who has changed the paradigm and expanded the fan base (and the financial base) has been the outlier of some other race or group. Bird in the NBA. Tiger Woods in golf. The Williams sisters in tennis. None of them have turned out to be a real leading edge. They were just the talented outliers. Outliers are what does it. Even Wayne Gretzky, as a man of Slavic descent, was somewhat of an outlier in the NFL, and look what he did for the game. It's just the way of the world, and it is probably the imagination of the masses that creates it, not the media. Professional athletes play for money. They should welcome the paradigm shift if it brings in more money. Nevertheless, although Clark is already a good player, she is not yet one of the top 12 American women in the game of basketball. The only place where she never misses a three is on RUclips. She will be one of the greatest women to ever play the game. She was perhaps the greatest collegiate player ever in the women's game. Collegiate greatness does not mean instant greatness on the next level. She's what? Maybe 15th in the league in scoring right now? Your Olympic team isn't made up of all scorers. Or all playmakers. You need a front line too. And top defenders. There are no automatics in international competition. Even in the men's game, America has to send its best. Or lose.
CC is just a different animal..i heard Taurasi say Caitlin needs to take baby steps and make transitions from this to that and the 3rd..Nah..not Caitlin Clark she came in WNBA READY and some people need to recognize that plain and simple.
@@barbiedahl It annoys me deeply that Taurasi uses that excuse. CC is tops in a generation of talent that has grown since she(Diana) played. CC can't simultaneously not be ready for international BBall, and play her college career against a more talented pool at an all-time level. I would find it more palatable if Taurasi just said "we're doing this for "Team Cohesion." No one likes her and we will play better without the burden of having fans follow. since I became a CC fan... youtube recommends me some of her old games.... she has been putting up with this type of sht since HS.
CC came in taking Godzilla steps breaking records left and right and putting the whole league on notice. Triple double against the Liberty with a win, beat Phoenix, look out!
I love all the record cc3 is setting but the Olympic controversy is wearing her out I think. I don't want her talking about it anymore she's talked about it for hours to the media it's ridiculous. The black and white lesbian Mafia was never going to let her on the main Olympic team. But why the hell wasn't she the best shooter in terms of distance in the history of women's basketball added to the 3X3 Olympic team? Clark is much better than all the players on that team especially her good friend HVL. Clark put up 82 points on Hailey in the last two elite eight games in college. 41 in each game and they put Hailey on the team and not Caitlin? It's politics man. And Clark is also the best passer in women's basketball. Now the super talented rookie Cameron Brink is injured and they have to replace her on the 3X3 Olympic team. They will not choose Clark I guarantee it. I also heard yesterday that sponsors are pulling out like 60 million worth of advertising from the women's basketball Olympics because of not putting Clark on the team. Can you imagine how stupid the business people are in the W and on the Olympic committee? Basketball around the world got built for the men after the 92 dream team with Michael Jordan and all those great players. You can't do the same and have cc3 played 10 minutes a game? I say good riddance to the Olympics and I wish Clark and her parents would say f*** you to the lesbian Mafia that blocked her from the team.
Brink has a mvp and multiple years experience in 3v3 basketball which is why she was picked. Team USA played horrible together last time they played and almost lost to Belgium, it’s a good thing Clark isn’t on the team if she was and they lost she’d get all the blame
Great video totally agree. Thanks for bringing the receipts showing that.Caitlin Is well qualified to be on that team and should be on that team…. It is really shady, but she’s not on the team. I know fans across the world can’t believe she is not on the team! I will watch all the other women’s sports at the Olympics, but I will be boycotting the women’s basketball Olympic events since the USA Women’s Basketball Selection committee making the decision on the USA’s roster don’t care whether fans watch then I won’t care either. I sure hope this shakes up the selection committee for upcoming Olympics because it really needs a overhaul. The old guard is so dug in and have ties to certain universities that they want to ensure that those players from their Alma Mater have a Legacy yada yada yada and you hear about the old boys club. This is the old girls club and it’s not a good look for the USA!!!
Perhaps another way to look at this is this" WHEN Caitlin makes an Olympic team and she undoubtedly will, it will be an entirely "NEW" era and team. There won't be any of this "petty" jealousy as, Cailin will make all the players around her better...and I truly believe that we'll see a sport the way that it should be... aggressive competition with sportsmanship ...and isn't that what we all want??
You can't fix STUPID, but you can be totally indifferent to as to what happens at the Olympics. If I was CC, I would tell them to stuff it....just imagine how it would be for her to have play with all the old haggs ???
Aj is so jealous of Cc about everything she’s doing Nike deals making the sport really popular and not being in a commercial😅😅😅 so is fake eyelashes Dennis Rodman oops angel Reese
If Diana Taurasi's stats were good enough to get her into the Olympics her Rookie year, than Caitlins are as well. ▪ Points per Game: Clark (16.1), Taurasi '04 (17.0), Taurasi '24 (16.9) ▪ Rebounds per Game: Clark (5.1), Taurasi '04 (4.4), Taurasi '24 (5.0) ▪ Assists per Game: Clark (6.2), Taurasi '04 (3.9), Taurasi '24 (2.1) ▪ Steals per Game: Clark (1.3), Taurasi '04 (1.3), Taurasi '24 (0.5) ▪ Blocks per Game: Clark (1.0), Taurasi '04 (0.6), Taurasi '24 (0.2) ▪ Turnovers per Game: Clark (5.4), Taurasi '04 (3.3), Taurasi '24 (3.1) ▪ 3-Point Shooting Percentage: Clark (32.8%), Taurasi '04 (33.3%), Taurasi '24 (31.7%) Then and now - Caitlin is dominating Taurasi in almost every major statistical categories. I put in the turnovers as Diana's are pretty high considering she isn't getting the most defensive coverage statistically in the league then or now.
In an office setting, the reception CC has received would constitute a hostile working environment that is unacceptable and detrimental to the success of the business. Warnings and sanctions against offenders would normally follow. The Commissioner and the team owners need to give their players and coaching staff a serious attitude adjustment. They need to realize their behavior is pissing of the customers ie on whom their livelihood depends.. At the minimum, they must act professionally by competing at a high level in a sportsmanlike fashion. Those who can't get with the program will pay a financial price.
Remember the miracle on ice? When a hockey coach who went to the Olympics with none of the best players in the NHL. Every one complained until he got gold. Just because you are good doesn’t mean you are needed. You do not need a superstar at every position. Some times you need a Dennis Rodman.
No way I’m watching the Olympics without Caitlin on the team. Idiots! Her game, not including her logo shooting range, will make the team better with her assists and court awareness.

Aja Wilson is the one who started it all. She has made the same comment about Paige Bueckers. Many people would say the same about her, she is where she is at due to AA. Caitlin is popular because she is a basketball phenom, and a great role model, whom everyone wants to see. She has a huge fan base to prove it. And by the way, it is diverse. When you go around the league and the opponent;'s fans are chanitng "We Want Caitlin", you know she has it going on. The media fails to show that part. However, this video sums it all up.
In a nutshell... This is Caitlin Clark's league now, but they just don't know it yet. Her teammates are beginning to figure it out though. I actually saw A. Smith rubbing Caitlin's shoulders last night in Atlanta during a stoppage in play. Yes, times be uh changin... LOL
Love her stats is just amazing. Can’t wait to see her stats at the end of the season…she is going to be the best rookie in the league s history…I am praying for her best performance to be in the all star game..Positive vibes and energy her way everybody 🙏🏀✌️🫶👏🏻🌈🔥💪🏼🤙
WNBA and Olympics are a business. Business means money. Money comes from your best product you have to offer. Removing CC from this business is like removing iphone from Apple. I'll be watching dock dog jumping during the women's BB olympics. Alreaady got a packed stadium with former women's olympic BB fans
I think the biggest issue Clark haters are having is that, Clark's stats literally don't matter. She could be damn near the statistically worst player in the league and everyone would STILL want to watch her. What Clark actually does is pass the eye test. It's the same problem older NBA legends have being compared to modern players. When Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain played, the limited footage we have of players from that era rarely passes the eye test. Part of that is the players, part of that is the understanding of the game has improved but maybe the biggest part of that is that the rules were literally different. Conversely, a lot of people look at today's parameter heavy, weak defense game and it just doesn't pass the eye test for them. I think maybe we've learned that Men's Basketball is at its best when the game is about watching literal freak of nature humans driving to the hoop, while watching fantastic shooters make deep but softly contested shots just isn't that entertaining. Meanwhile, perhaps we've learned that what people actually want to see from Women's Basketball is the exact opposite. People probably don't want to watch freak of nature women struggle to dunk or drive to the hoop. People probably want to watch athletic women make deep shots. I used to agree with freak of nature Shaquille O'Neal, that lowering the rim to improve post play would make the league more interesting... but now I think maybe the exact opposite would be better. Maybe they should widen the hoop and add a 4 point line.
I'm about to turn 60. In my entire life I've had no interest in watching the WNBA, after having seen a few clips here and there. Felt like I was watching kids play. Now a couple decades have passed and a new breed of players are on the court. I'm noticing for the first time, because I caught wind of CC vids and started watching. I'm very impressed. And I'm seeing some of the other skills of her team mates, and those on other teams. But I'm also seeing the blatant hate. The cheap shots - what's her name obviously body checking CC, and if you read her lips, she's saying, "You B!tch" as she does it. Then Reese gives that @$$wipe her approval, laughing. This is what I'm supposed to watch??? And the clip of Reese, Miss "Hey, they're here to watch me too", going up for a layup and she double-dribbles twice. Ya, NO! She's a hack if she can't do a simple lay-up without being so clumsy. So ya, I'm here to watch CC. And I'm noticing not only her skills, but her team mates as well. They're on my radar now. If the hate continues, and they drive off CC, I'll not be watching anymore. And those viewership numbers may well go farther down than they were before CC as everyone realizes that this league is full of hate, pettiness, and incompetent leadership.
this is unacceptable and the president of the Olympic Committee should be fired Catlin Clark the greatest player in the history of women basketball and a superstar athlete in the wnba these people are super jealous of Catlin Clark she the only female basketball player that could play in the nba they are stupid and extremely jealous of her she is already a millionaire 😅

Would you please redu this video every three to five games she plays…it would help support claim for rookie of the year and to see where she stands as the best rookie in W history..thank U
The team was deliberately chosen before Clark could prove who she is. They KNEW who she is, but they could hide behind her relatively unproven performance.
Five Olympians in the LVA team played together as the first five against Con Sun scoring only 7-points in about 4 min of play. CC alone scored 5-points in 14-sec in another game.
If coach sides didn't play two-point guards 20 minutes a game and if she had 30% of plays drawn up for her to get a shot off, Caitlin would be averaging 20 ppg and 10 apg easily. Coach sides still trying to make the team about coach Sides.
WOW nice breakdown. I appreciate your hard work and compilation of the facts/stats. Taurisi doesn't belong on the team either. But we all know why Reeves picked her; Alt lifestyle camaraderie.
Funny how you conveniently left off her Turnover statistics, she’s leading the WNBA in turnovers with 95 total in 17 games! She averages 5.5 turnovers while averaging 6.2 assist so her assists to turnovers ratio is atrocious! In fairness she’s a rookie so in time she’ll clean up the turnovers but don’t leave out that important stat!!!
Turnovers are a problem, but probably will never be low, because Caitlin is a high risk passer. She too often attempts a pass that needs to be nearly perfect just be good enough. She also tends to dribble into trouble and to pick up her dribble too soon. On the other hand, if Iowa could live with Clark committing 4.5 turnovers per game and make it to consecutive national championship games, the Fever can live with a similar number of turnovers going forward.
This WNBA sabotage of Caitlin Clark is reminiscent of Professional Wrestling's WWE. There were pro wrestlers that became so popular with the fans that they became bigger than the brand and were able to dictate their own terms. Vince McMahon, the owner, decided that the WWE was not going to let this happen in the future and never promoted their wrestlers beyond a certain level of popularity. The WNBA does not want Caitlin's brand to become bigger than that of the league. And, considering how poor the reputation of the WNBA is, it doesn't take much to out shine the league. Hence why the league is trying to force feed Angel Reese down the fans' throats.
I'm a big CC fan, but this video doesn't explore very deeply the process by which an Olympic squad is put together over several months, if not years. The records achieved by CC cited in the video are impressive but they are also all rookie records. She also wasn't able to attend the pre-selection camp where she could have gone head to head w the other players and won a spot outright if she was good enough rather than hoping to be given what would amount to an honorary spot. Clark will benefit greatly from the break in the schedule during this Olympics and I'd be surprised if she's not on the team for the 2028 games
I don't know when the Olympic team was picked, that seems relevant. As a rookie, you always have to play a bit of wait-and-see, because of the anticipated increases in the abilities of the opposition. Surely she has proven her point already, but if they were making their list even a few months ago, I can understand hot considering her.
If CC wasnt doing as well as she is, i doubt people would be this interested. Your right, fans do want to see a freak show. Thats what she is. With all do respect. Its just a figure of speach. People love to get blown away.
To say Clark is not ready for the Olympics is a blatant cover for their most obvious resentment. When using the excuse “she doesn’t have enough experience yet”, just look at the list of others who played in the Olympics prior to their WNBA debut or on the next Olympics after their debut. The commenter is right - the rest of us are not so stupid or blind as those who selected this year's team.
Before Their WNBA Career: 1. Lisa Leslie Olympics: 1996 (Atlanta) WNBA Debut: 1997 (Los Angeles Sparks) 2. Sheryl Swoopes Olympics: 1996 (Atlanta) WNBA Debut: 1997 (Houston Comets) 3. Dawn Staley Olympics: 1996 (Atlanta) WNBA Debut: 1999 (Charlotte Sting) After Their WNBA Debut: 4. Sue Bird WNBA Debut: 2002 (Seattle Storm) Olympics: 2004 (Athens), 2008 (Beijing), 2012 (London), 2016 (Rio de Janeiro), 2021 (Tokyo) 5. Diana Taurasi WNBA Debut: 2004 (Phoenix Mercury) Olympics: 2004 (Athens), 2008 (Beijing), 2012 (London), 2016 (Rio de Janeiro), 2021 (Tokyo) 6. Candace Parker WNBA Debut: 2008 (Los Angeles Sparks) Olympics: 2008 (Beijing), 2012 (London) 7. Breanna Stewart WNBA Debut: 2016 (Seattle Storm) Olympics: 2016 (Rio de Janeiro), 2021 (Tokyo) 8. Elena Delle Donne WNBA Debut: 2013 (Chicago Sky) Olympics: 2016 (Rio de Janeiro) 9. Tamika Catchings WNBA Debut: 2002 (Indiana Fever) Olympics: 2004 (Athens), 2008 (Beijing), 2012 (London), 2016 (Rio de Janeiro) 10. Sylvia Fowles WNBA Debut: 2008 (Chicago Sky) Olympics: 2008 (Beijing), 2012 (London), 2016 (Rio de Janeiro), 2021 (Tokyo) 11. Maya Moore WNBA Debut: 2011 (Minnesota Lynx) Olympics: 2012 (London), 2016 (Rio de Janeiro) The stupidity of the WNBA players and executives to not protect the Golden Goose (Clark), is a testament that they’d rather kill the best opportunity the WNBA has ever had to build a viable sport’s opportunity for ALL women, than share the glory with a straight, white rookie. Evil has no bounds. As Kelsey Plum once stated; "We're not asking to pay what the men get paid," Plum told the show's hosts Jeff Tomastik, Lowell Raven, and Drew Belcher. "We're asking to get paid the same percentage of revenue shared." Given that the WNBA loses over 10 million dollars EVERY year up till now, if you really wanted to share in the revenue, you and every other WNBA player would have to pay the league to play. Your revenue doesn’t even justify your career existence. Think about that when you continue to slay your best opportunity to become a revenue generating entity.
She isn’t ready for the Olympics those international players will embarrass her, the vets struggle to beat some of those teams lol what the hell is CC gonna do but get knocked down. Y’all were crying when she got a hard foul by a player in the WNBA lol she will get hurt against other countries cause they play harder then the wnba.

Sure seems like she’s holding her own in the WNBA -AND- putting up record breaking stats. You know, against the very same women who’ve won the last 7 straight Olympic gold medals and won the 2020 gold by a score of 90-75 against the host team. Playing international basketball is nothing new to Clark as she has years experience playing on the USA youth national team - the same experience that most of the other players on the 2024 Olympic roster had. This so-called lack of experience you suggest didn’t seem to be problematic for the other women on the list I provided, who had no more experience than Clark at their first Olympics. And none of that takes into account that one of the players on the roster just returned from an injury that kept her out for some time and another player who is still injured with an undetermined return date. How do you not take a fully healthy player against someone who’s been inactive for enough time as to be questionable for being ready at this level of play? Sorry - your argument is beyond flat.
Nobody wants to see dinosaur Taurasi and Griner play. WNBA and Team USA will lose millions in merchandising and TV viewership/advertising revenue. Send Reese and Clark to the Olympics, and make some crazy profits for the floundering (28-year-old) league and women's basketball.
Its all about the Benjamin's. And the Benjamin's say Clark is the biggest asset the WNBA has . Which equates to The Most Valuable Player in the league. The Benjamin's say this is undeniably an undisputed fact. When you are 4games under 500 ball and you play to full house BOTH home and away that is more than amazing . Fevers away games are being moved to bigger arenas . This is a phenomenon
on Aja Wilsons rhetorics... it seems she want to force the people to like her as well as her fellow black players... FYI...IT HAPPENED in MAYA MOORE..when both blacks and white likes her basketball skills...THAT IS ONE THING THAT YOU SHOULD DO... But antagonizing Caitlin Clark will definitely put you down...as you already know...she has a magnetic personality...attracting viewrship of WNBA GAMES.. IF YOU GO AGAINTS CC..that wd mean..you will go againts her fans..both WHITE AND BLACK PEOPLE...AROUND THE WORLD.. not in USA only...
Why haven't the Chicago Sky moved Sunday's game with Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fevers from the much smaller Wintrust Arena to the United Center, which holds 20,000 seats? Caitlin Clark is the most popular player in the WNBA. She Sells out every place that she plays, and the tickets for Sunday's REMATCH Game in Chicago between superstar rookie Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fevers against fellow rookie Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are extremely hard to get. But the Sky have Refused to play the game at the much bigger United Center in Chicago, the House that Michael Jordan built. It's Bad business not to move the game to the much larger stadium. Why isn't it being done?
It’s simple, taurasi is a guard position so is CC so who will have a smaller playing time if CC plays plus taurasi is a rookie when she joined tEAM USA w/c is the only thing she can brag about if CC doesn’t join them.
I think she will end up on the team now that taurasi and other players are now praising her. I wouldn't doubt that Diana steps down to give her a spot.
You absolutely right, everything you're saying, where the fans know the truth, and the truth will set you free, the only reason because she was white, it's not her fault she was biologically born White, she's biologically a woman, she has a boyfriend, she's not gay, she's not ghetto, she's humble respectful, she is really good in basketball, and she's good because she work hard in practice, if you practicing, you're not going to just instantly learn skills and know how to do stuff just because you're a woman, she's not trying to just figure it out she putting in the work, she is the example of how a woman supposed to be, and that's why she has so many fans she's a real life superhero, I can't wait to her shoes come out, and her basketball comes out, and one more thing she is the richest rookie in the league, so you know all of the coaches all of the coaches is jealous cuz of that Caitlin Clark is real and her popularity is not going away, she is not a one-hit wonder, she's the real deal😊
Their is denial, they lie to cover their envy, Jealousy, and they script they read from. In a debate you lossed. The money that a win fall, and basketball is a sport, the players are ones how you should market your entertainment and a reminder, sports are an entertainment and it's the fan's who are financially supporting. All of commission and the board members, say no, but the fans can say no by not going to any games. Money talks.
Especially her teammate Mitchell she don't even want to throw her the ball Caitlin Clark be a little more selfish take your shots when you get ready don't pass nothing to them
By not playing her the USA are making there team weaker & the opponents a better chance of getting the Gold medal.... if your good enough your old enough.... I 100% don't see the logic.
I love America, but that does not mean that i have to love everything about America. If CC isn’t on the Olympic team, and welcomed there, will not watch the American team, at all. And I will pray they suffer a quick exit. I don’t think people understand how deeply people who sunburn easily feel about this. I really don’t.
I personally am happy Clark is not going . France is in political turmoil and civil unrest. As always the Olympics will be a clear and present danger for terrorist . And considering Clarks notoriety, if there is a terroristic attack being planned, it would only put her and team USA in a highten positions of danger. They know everyone would be watching. So maybe the good Lord has kept this woman off the roster. I take it as a blessing
The point Gawd is back. Wanna see some real passes. See Clark fsns soon Aja 26 points 16 rebounds. Aces beat the skin off the Sun. Best game of the season. It was juicy asf
I don't watch the Aces after A'ja called me a racist. I won't give her accolades or even acknowledge her. I don't care how good she is. I'm not going to waste my time on someone like her.
DONT NONE OF THEM LIKE CC...THEY KNOW IN TIME SHE WILL BREAK EVERY RECORD THEY SET AND NOBODY WOULD REMEMBER HOW SORRY THEY WERE. BUT WHAT THEY WILL REMEMBER IS HOW THE WMBA TREATED THEIR PLAYERS...THEY THINK THEIR ALL THAT BUT THEIR REALLY JUST GIRLS THAT TRIED TO PLAY BASKETBALL BUT COULDNT DO A DECENT JOB AT IT..
It's sad that ppl or players find it hard to let a newcomer in the league with new ideas new viewers. Better stats etc Just because she doesn't have a college championship ring doesn't mean she's not good. Common now it seems like jealousy. Just play and stop this BS. Caitlin's is great! Prove me wrong!
The reason nobody watched wnba is it has no respect for the game, same as any other pro sport, you compete to see who best talent at the game, cc has made indiana very competitive in there game because 3 players trap cc , well 2 other places are wide open. Shoot 3s or get layup, so much players can learn off Caitlin, she is absolutely the best all around player of this 20th century, get some class ghetto ball players, it's not if you can break her legs , it's are you going to practice as hard as she did to become one of the best, love for the game with all you soul makes you achieve what no one before you has done, Jordan, James, bird, they all fed of great opponents, they proved who was great buy there dedicated time spent on being the best, still was congratulating there opponents after there games even if they lost.
Terrific !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Caitlin fans The Las Vegas Aces…two time WNBA champions are the ONLY team in the WNBA to sell out EVERY home game. If Clark has such a following why can’t she sell out her home court…hmmm
These people were saying your comments were false, brain dead , childish , clown comments. Then I looked up the aces average attendance of 9,000 vs the Fever 18,000. And realized they were right.
@@jaylucas8352 You can resort to insults all you want while calling me names...but whatever. The size of the arena doesn't matter if she is so great then sell out. When the Aces play at the T Mobile Arena...they sell there as well and that is well over 20K. But then you are already convinced that CC is the greatest. After she wins a championship then real basketball fans will pay attention. CC is a marketing ploy...the second the likes of Juju Watkins hits the WNBA she will fade out and all you band wagon fans will jump on the Juju wagon. But all good resorting to insults...you are of no consequence to me.
When we give people jobs over smarter and better qualified people and allow some people to spew lies and hate, based entirely on what they look like, this will continue. Everything should be based on merit, ethnic and behavior. And if one group isn't capable of competing that way, I'm totally fine with giving a helping hand. But only after it's admitted that help is required and everyone isn't as equal as we pretend. It ain't rocket science. It's the simplest thing ever but it must include little honesty and a whole lot less hubris.
The gay liberal women’s basketball association has been told and they knew before Clark came on the league was dying so if they can’t figure out if they try to remove her,she gets hurt and she’s gone so is the league. A basketball team doesn’t exist without fans inspectors watching it. and that will not exist without Clark what makes it worse. The fans would know that the league had something to do with her gone.We need a Michael Jordan and a Pete Maravich performance to make the game exciting and watch it🎉😊. And that’s exactly what we have with Clark.❤

When they play against the Aces. Clark might foul out. Gray passes are gonna have you guys stuck. Magic Johnson is back. Point Gawd
WELL....THAT IS JELOUSY...
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR THAT ATTITUDE...
To go to the Olympics you need to be part of the "club" ...the "Old Guard"...seniority reigns, not popularity. Not good business and the Olympics is a business. My guess of viewership for tomorrow's Fever v Sky game in Chicago? Twenty million...
lol that’s false yall tripping and clearly don’t watch the game
@@odysseymack9122 Go away Swoopes 🤣
CC will have the last laugh when her regular season games draw more viewership than the Olympics.
You hit it right man , everybody knows it .
That would be sweet justice
That wouldn’t mean shit
The Olympics committee want a gold. They don't care about that
@lamargettens2370 You pathetic, stupid, jerk. Keep hating Caitlin who has done only good. Keep showing us your Never-ending stupidity
Just subscribed, she's helping bring a wake-up call to all sports. She is showing the world what a person can really be without blaming, whining. She's a class act. People will watch People like her that stick to her sport without telling people what they should believe and do. Hopefully they will learn what sports fans really enjoy watching.
CC's stats this year are better than 42 year old, already has 5 gold medals, Diana the Toucans!
CC has three gold medals of her own on the USA under 16 team and under 19 team which included international play. She has the experience and the stats to be on the team but I shudder to think what the Olympic team would do to her if she were on the team this time with all those haters.
It can be said now that CC is on the charts beating Diana, you can bet on Diana NOT giving up her spot when she knows she should. This is a selfish woman. She is selfish to all the players she supposedly supports. She is selfish against CC. She will stop the most sell of fan items. She will stop the money flowing into the WNBA. She will stop the world that wants to see CC. She wants her 6th gold medal. By some fate greatest than you or me can prevent that from happening and I pray that it does. She would go out in the blaze of hatred and selfishness greater than one could imagine. Could that fate be that CC plays for another country?
Tarausi is one of those people who is still living in her glory days like that's all she has. Who would she be without BBall? She's past her prime but won't let go. Maybe after the Olympics she'll announce her retirement. I hope the All Stars deliver a humiliating loss to the Olympic team when they play them.
The problem with that is if you play for another international team once you are committed to that team from then on!
No team USA after that!
The Dianasaur Tarausi Rex
The strange part being the reason she was not selected, that just March 2024 Clark was one of 14 players and no other college players had an invitation, from the U.S. national team to the final training camp 2024 Summer Olympics. It was noted she was playing in the finals 2024 NCAA not able to make training camp. It was also noted she would be watched playing on her performance in the WNBA 2024, in helping determine its final 2024 Olympic roster. When not making the roster, the excuse was lack of international play but also not having experience playing with the senior national team. Then why the invitation when she had not left college. Being in the WNBA would give her more experience than would have not had. The lack of any international play I suggest someone did not do their homework for what I list below should have been more than enough even over half of the selected players in the roster.
'Junior national team
Clark represented the United States at the 2017 FIBA Under-16 Women's Americas Championship in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She came off the bench and averaged 8.8 points per game, helping her team achieve a 5-0 record and win the gold medal.[170] Clark played at the 2019 FIBA Under-19 Women's Basketball World Cup in Bangkok, Thailand. In seven games, she averaged 5.3 points per game and won another gold medal, as her team finished with a 7-0 record.[171] Clark competed at the 2021 FIBA Under-19 Women's Basketball World Cup in Debrecen, Hungary and led the United States to the gold medal. She averaged a team-high 14.3 points, 5.6 assists, and 5.3 rebounds per game, was named Most Valuable Player and made the All-Tournament Team.[172]'
Not only was this an intentional snub to Clark, but, the way they waited til the last minute and gave it to Griner was just to rub it in the faces of all the white and Christian and straight fans. Just their way of saying f*ck you. We don't need you. This may be the final straw for the wnba. American women's basketball team won 7 gold medals in a row and the only reason anybody knows this is the Clark controversy. So after they win an 8th Medal nobody will know about, after the excitement of Clark wains; the viewership will go back down and by the time four more years goes by for Clark(and Reese) to hit the Olympics it will likely be too late. What a shame. All because women just have to be c*nty.
It’s more so experience with the selected team, DT, Stewie, Griner, AT, Aja, and Plum have all played together a lot. Last outing they played so horribly no one on the squad shot above 30% they almost lost to Belgium 🇧🇪 if Clark was on this team and they happened to lose, she’d get all the blame
Yet Griner, criminal and international embarrassment, gets to play. I won't be watching this nonsense.
Tbf, Griner is the best Olympic player, foreign women have nothing on her size. Last Olympic outing the whole squad failed to shoot above 30% everybody out there just throwing the ball up and praying, tied with Belgium with 11 seconds to go. Wouldn’t have happened if Griner was healthy
I'm hoping they get beat.
@@bjgray7954 I DO NOT CARE for A HATER of the USA who gave her mouth to hate the liberty our country afforded her.

@@erob1962you alright man?
When the fever has a large lead at the beginning of the 4th qtr why doesn't the coach let her shoot. That's what the fans want to see.
She could have gone home early and it wouldn't have made a difference to the score. Standing in the corner, running about to get free with a good look only to watch Wheeler run into a wall of defenders and throw the ball with no hope of a bucket.
@@BenjWarrantthe coach don’t stop her from shooting, CC can read the floor and usually she drawing two defenders out so she passes to the open player, Sky has two 6’4 and 6’7 players that was will to guard her she can’t shoot over that CC has to find a better way to get open down the stretch of a game
@@odysseymack9122 Coach do stop her from shooting. There's no other reason why Caitlin's play in every one of the 17 matches so far has been qualitatively different from the way she was shooting at Iowa.
@BenjWarrant maybe it has to do with the level of talent... when are yall gonna start giving these other women the level of respect they deserve
@@BenjWarrant Yeah it's called playing against much much better players. Are you seriously wondering why?
CC never gets the ball back once she passes...
That's false
That’s a fact!
@@ObiamajoyisrmdThat’s what I’m seeing.
It's getting a little better imo
Something I will say that needs working on
Mitchell
She's playing great with the ball, however, off the ball...
She isn't supporting CC enough
Making the correct runs when CC is doubled up with defenders
That's an important role for her since she is the escape plan
I do think Sides is the problem still imo
She is doing better than I gave her credit for earlier on in the season
But there's things she is doing still that makes no sense
I like she has gotten on top of screening a bit
That will keep improving I'm sure
But still seeing bad quarters with bad choices by her
She still isn't letting CC run the court from the back
And she does need to talk with Mitchell, about her off ball positions and runs
Still, could be a lot worse
On a winner streak so let's not be to hard on them (after I posted all this negative stuff haha)
It’s going to be awesome when ever they decide to run all the offense through Caitlin Clark
What pisses me off is this race crap. Shocker, I'm white and to top it off, I'm 80 years old. I am a sports guy, favorite sports hero of all time was Mr. Jim Brown. Basketball, Wilt Chamberlain, baseball, Ken Griffey Jr., WNBA, Caitlin Clark. Huge fan of the Magic-Bird rivalry. To say race has a play in any sports is BS. At least not for white people. Sports are filled with black "heros" for all races. Race is NOT an issue. Stop it.
It is in this case, because even though she is good, she is not even in the top ten. The media is producing the fan base. They could do the same for the better players.
@@troybody6662 I thought we were talking about rookies. Clark is the top rookie and its not close. Will she win ROTY, I don't think so, those in control have another agenda.
@@robertward553 Reese got rookie of the year from 2 different sources and is on her 11 straight triple double.
@@robertward553 Even as a rookie she is still not amongst the top 10. Google it. I don't think that she is even in the top 20? She is too inconsistant.
@@troybody6662 The media couldn't, because you never know who the system disruptor is going to be. Not to mention, Caitlin Clark was a collegiate prodigy and broke the all-time NCAA scoring record, men's or women's. Now let's look back in history. Going to back to Larry Bird, whenever you have had a sport dominated by one race or ethnic group, the one who has changed the paradigm and expanded the fan base (and the financial base) has been the outlier of some other race or group. Bird in the NBA. Tiger Woods in golf. The Williams sisters in tennis. None of them have turned out to be a real leading edge. They were just the talented outliers. Outliers are what does it. Even Wayne Gretzky, as a man of Slavic descent, was somewhat of an outlier in the NFL, and look what he did for the game.
It's just the way of the world, and it is probably the imagination of the masses that creates it, not the media. Professional athletes play for money. They should welcome the paradigm shift if it brings in more money.
Nevertheless, although Clark is already a good player, she is not yet one of the top 12 American women in the game of basketball. The only place where she never misses a three is on RUclips. She will be one of the greatest women to ever play the game. She was perhaps the greatest collegiate player ever in the women's game. Collegiate greatness does not mean instant greatness on the next level. She's what? Maybe 15th in the league in scoring right now? Your Olympic team isn't made up of all scorers. Or all playmakers. You need a front line too. And top defenders. There are no automatics in international competition. Even in the men's game, America has to send its best. Or lose.
CC is just a different animal..i heard Taurasi say Caitlin needs to take baby steps and make transitions from this to that and the 3rd..Nah..not Caitlin Clark she came in WNBA READY and some people need to recognize that plain and simple.
Dinosaur Taurasi is a hypocrite. She wants to deny CC the opportunity that had been given to her as a rookie, a berth on the Olympic team.
@@barbiedahl It annoys me deeply that Taurasi uses that excuse. CC is tops in a generation of talent that has grown since she(Diana) played. CC can't simultaneously not be ready for international BBall, and play her college career against a more talented pool at an all-time level.
I would find it more palatable if Taurasi just said "we're doing this for "Team Cohesion." No one likes her and we will play better without the burden of having fans follow.
since I became a CC fan... youtube recommends me some of her old games.... she has been putting up with this type of sht since HS.
Not in Iowa anymore Toto
CC came in taking Godzilla steps breaking records left and right and putting the whole league on notice. Triple double against the Liberty with a win, beat Phoenix, look out!
@@erob1962WTF would you know about Iowa ?
I love all the record cc3 is setting but the Olympic controversy is wearing her out I think. I don't want her talking about it anymore she's talked about it for hours to the media it's ridiculous. The black and white lesbian Mafia was never going to let her on the main Olympic team. But why the hell wasn't she the best shooter in terms of distance in the history of women's basketball added to the 3X3 Olympic team? Clark is much better than all the players on that team especially her good friend HVL. Clark put up 82 points on Hailey in the last two elite eight games in college. 41 in each game and they put Hailey on the team and not Caitlin? It's politics man. And Clark is also the best passer in women's basketball. Now the super talented rookie Cameron Brink is injured and they have to replace her on the 3X3 Olympic team. They will not choose Clark I guarantee it. I also heard yesterday that sponsors are pulling out like 60 million worth of advertising from the women's basketball Olympics because of not putting Clark on the team. Can you imagine how stupid the business people are in the W and on the Olympic committee? Basketball around the world got built for the men after the 92 dream team with Michael Jordan and all those great players. You can't do the same and have cc3 played 10 minutes a game? I say good riddance to the Olympics and I wish Clark and her parents would say f*** you to the lesbian Mafia that blocked her from the team.
Brink has a mvp and multiple years experience in 3v3 basketball which is why she was picked. Team USA played horrible together last time they played and almost lost to Belgium, it’s a good thing Clark isn’t on the team if she was and they lost she’d get all the blame
@@rsb512 That's just racist. Caitlin already got an invite to the Olympics, but she was in the final four, and couldn't go.
Great video totally agree. Thanks for bringing the receipts showing that.Caitlin Is well qualified to be on that team and should be on that team…. It is really shady, but she’s not on the team. I know fans across the world can’t believe she is not on the team! I will watch all the other women’s sports at the Olympics, but I will be boycotting the women’s basketball Olympic events since the USA Women’s Basketball Selection committee making the decision on the USA’s roster don’t care whether fans watch then I won’t care either. I sure hope this shakes up the selection committee for upcoming Olympics because it really needs a overhaul. The old guard is so dug in and have ties to certain universities that they want to ensure that those players from their Alma Mater have a Legacy yada yada yada and you hear about the old boys club. This is the old girls club and it’s not a good look for the USA!!!
Perhaps another way to look at this is this" WHEN Caitlin makes an Olympic team and she undoubtedly will, it will be an entirely "NEW" era and team. There won't be any of this "petty" jealousy as, Cailin will make all the players around her better...and I truly believe that we'll see a sport the way that it should be... aggressive competition with sportsmanship ...and isn't that what we all want??
You can't fix STUPID, but you can be totally indifferent to as to what happens at the Olympics. If I was CC, I would tell them to stuff it....just imagine how it would be for her to have play with all the old haggs ???
Thank you for speaking the truth about the shame the WNBA should feel for being so rude to someone who simply wants to play basketball.
Aj is so jealous of Cc about everything she’s doing Nike deals making the sport really popular and not being in a commercial😅😅😅 so is fake eyelashes Dennis Rodman oops angel Reese
great video and commentary! 👏👏👏
If Diana Taurasi's stats were good enough to get her into the Olympics her Rookie year, than Caitlins are as well.
▪ Points per Game: Clark (16.1), Taurasi '04 (17.0), Taurasi '24 (16.9)
▪ Rebounds per Game: Clark (5.1), Taurasi '04 (4.4), Taurasi '24 (5.0)
▪ Assists per Game: Clark (6.2), Taurasi '04 (3.9), Taurasi '24 (2.1)
▪ Steals per Game: Clark (1.3), Taurasi '04 (1.3), Taurasi '24 (0.5)
▪ Blocks per Game: Clark (1.0), Taurasi '04 (0.6), Taurasi '24 (0.2)
▪ Turnovers per Game: Clark (5.4), Taurasi '04 (3.3), Taurasi '24 (3.1)
▪ 3-Point Shooting Percentage: Clark (32.8%), Taurasi '04 (33.3%), Taurasi '24 (31.7%)
Then and now - Caitlin is dominating Taurasi in almost every major statistical categories. I put in the turnovers as Diana's are pretty high considering she isn't getting the most defensive coverage statistically in the league then or now.
My guess is there won't be millions watching the women in Paris this year. Seems kind of sad these ladies aren't more welcoming.
I won't be. I'll be watching wherever CC is.

In an office setting, the reception CC has received would constitute a hostile working environment that is unacceptable and detrimental to the success of the business. Warnings and sanctions against offenders would normally follow. The Commissioner and the team owners need to give their players and coaching staff a serious attitude adjustment. They need to realize their behavior is pissing of the customers ie on whom their livelihood depends.. At the minimum, they must act professionally by competing at a high level in a sportsmanlike fashion. Those who can't get with the program will pay a financial price.
Remember the miracle on ice? When a hockey coach who went to the Olympics with none of the best players in the NHL. Every one complained until he got gold. Just because you are good doesn’t mean you are needed. You do not need a superstar at every position. Some times you need a Dennis Rodman.

Aja Wilson is the one who started it all. She has made the same comment about Paige Bueckers. Many people would say the same about her, she is where she is at due to AA. Caitlin is popular because she is a basketball phenom, and a great role model, whom everyone wants to see. She has a huge fan base to prove it. And by the way, it is diverse. When you go around the league and the opponent;'s fans are chanitng "We Want Caitlin", you know she has it going on. The media fails to show that part. However, this video sums it all up.
Jealous is all it is.
In a nutshell... This is Caitlin Clark's league now, but they just don't know it yet.
Her teammates are beginning to figure it out though. I actually saw A. Smith rubbing Caitlin's shoulders last night in Atlanta during a stoppage in play. Yes, times be uh changin... LOL

WNBA and Olympics are a business. Business means money. Money comes from your best product you have to offer. Removing CC from this business is like removing iphone from Apple.
I'll be watching dock dog jumping during the women's BB olympics. Alreaady got a packed stadium with former women's olympic BB fans
I think the biggest issue Clark haters are having is that, Clark's stats literally don't matter. She could be damn near the statistically worst player in the league and everyone would STILL want to watch her. What Clark actually does is pass the eye test. It's the same problem older NBA legends have being compared to modern players. When Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain played, the limited footage we have of players from that era rarely passes the eye test. Part of that is the players, part of that is the understanding of the game has improved but maybe the biggest part of that is that the rules were literally different. Conversely, a lot of people look at today's parameter heavy, weak defense game and it just doesn't pass the eye test for them.
I think maybe we've learned that Men's Basketball is at its best when the game is about watching literal freak of nature humans driving to the hoop, while watching fantastic shooters make deep but softly contested shots just isn't that entertaining.
Meanwhile, perhaps we've learned that what people actually want to see from Women's Basketball is the exact opposite. People probably don't want to watch freak of nature women struggle to dunk or drive to the hoop. People probably want to watch athletic women make deep shots. I used to agree with freak of nature Shaquille O'Neal, that lowering the rim to improve post play would make the league more interesting... but now I think maybe the exact opposite would be better. Maybe they should widen the hoop and add a 4 point line.
Two weeks later and her records have increased and are even more astounding.
I'm about to turn 60. In my entire life I've had no interest in watching the WNBA, after having seen a few clips here and there. Felt like I was watching kids play. Now a couple decades have passed and a new breed of players are on the court. I'm noticing for the first time, because I caught wind of CC vids and started watching. I'm very impressed. And I'm seeing some of the other skills of her team mates, and those on other teams. But I'm also seeing the blatant hate. The cheap shots - what's her name obviously body checking CC, and if you read her lips, she's saying, "You B!tch" as she does it. Then Reese gives that @$$wipe her approval, laughing. This is what I'm supposed to watch??? And the clip of Reese, Miss "Hey, they're here to watch me too", going up for a layup and she double-dribbles twice. Ya, NO! She's a hack if she can't do a simple lay-up without being so clumsy.
So ya, I'm here to watch CC. And I'm noticing not only her skills, but her team mates as well. They're on my radar now. If the hate continues, and they drive off CC, I'll not be watching anymore. And those viewership numbers may well go farther down than they were before CC as everyone realizes that this league is full of hate, pettiness, and incompetent leadership.
this is unacceptable and the president of the Olympic Committee should be fired Catlin Clark the greatest player in the history of women basketball and a superstar athlete in the wnba these people are super jealous of Catlin Clark she the only female basketball player that could play in the nba they are stupid and extremely jealous of her she is already a millionaire 😅

Five Olympians in the LVA team played together as the first five against Con Sun scoring only 7-points in about 4 min of play.
CC alone scored 5-points in 14-sec in another game.
Imagine capitalizing black but keeping White lowercase
It was the AP, so no big surprise there.
If coach sides didn't play two-point guards 20 minutes a game and if she had 30% of plays drawn up for her to get a shot off, Caitlin would be averaging 20 ppg and 10 apg easily. Coach sides still trying to make the team about coach Sides.
WOW nice breakdown. I appreciate your hard work and compilation of the facts/stats. Taurisi doesn't belong on the team either. But we all know why Reeves picked her; Alt lifestyle camaraderie.
Maybe if the league started making the players make up that $10,000,000 a year that the WNBA loses. Truly equal treatment
Funny how you conveniently left off her Turnover statistics, she’s leading the WNBA in turnovers with 95 total in 17 games! She averages 5.5 turnovers while averaging 6.2 assist so her assists to turnovers ratio is atrocious!
In fairness she’s a rookie so in time she’ll clean up the turnovers but don’t leave out that important stat!!!
If you watched the games you’d know a lot of those were on her teammates, but they get chalked up to her
Turnovers are a problem, but probably will never be low, because Caitlin is a high risk passer. She too often attempts a pass that needs to be nearly perfect just be good enough. She also tends to dribble into trouble and to pick up her dribble too soon. On the other hand, if Iowa could live with Clark committing 4.5 turnovers per game and make it to consecutive national championship games, the Fever can live with a similar number of turnovers going forward.
@@RichardIILionheart 5 turnovers a game is not going to get you many wins from one player! She needs to cut that down to 2-3 a game at best!

Turnovers are a problem, but not an insurmountable problem. Magic averaged 3.9 for his career, but the Lakers won multiple championships.
I will never watch a single US Women's Basketball Team game this Olympics if CC is not in the team. WNBA shame on you.
Stupidity is invincible.
That's their "equity" over equality talking. It's a very divisive and self sabotaging mentality.
This WNBA sabotage of Caitlin Clark is reminiscent of Professional Wrestling's WWE. There were pro wrestlers that became so popular with the fans that they became bigger than the brand and were able to dictate their own terms. Vince McMahon, the owner, decided that the WWE was not going to let this happen in the future and never promoted their wrestlers beyond a certain level of popularity. The WNBA does not want Caitlin's brand to become bigger than that of the league. And, considering how poor the reputation of the WNBA is, it doesn't take much to out shine the league. Hence why the league is trying to force feed Angel Reese down the fans' throats.
I'm a big CC fan, but this video doesn't explore very deeply the process by which an Olympic squad is put together over several months, if not years. The records achieved by CC cited in the video are impressive but they are also all rookie records. She also wasn't able to attend the pre-selection camp where she could have gone head to head w the other players and won a spot outright if she was good enough rather than hoping to be given what would amount to an honorary spot. Clark will benefit greatly from the break in the schedule during this Olympics and I'd be surprised if she's not on the team for the 2028 games
Out sailing the men is amazing
Anyone that is a TRUE lover of the SPORT of Basketball,knows they did her WRONG.
good breakdown
Can' wait for CC to appear on a Wheaties box.
I only watch WNBA to watch Caitlin Clark, Reeves, and Brink. The best in WNBA!
I don't know when the Olympic team was picked, that seems relevant. As a rookie, you always have to play a bit of wait-and-see, because of the anticipated increases in the abilities of the opposition. Surely she has proven her point already, but if they were making their list even a few months ago, I can understand hot considering her.
If CC wasnt doing as well as she is, i doubt people would be this interested. Your right, fans do want to see a freak show. Thats what she is. With all do respect. Its just a figure of speach. People love to get blown away.
What about Her/Him Losing the most games. what about the MOST turnovers. LMAO
To say Clark is not ready for the Olympics is a blatant cover for their most obvious resentment. When using the excuse “she doesn’t have enough experience yet”, just look at the list of others who played in the Olympics prior to their WNBA debut or on the next Olympics after their debut. The commenter is right - the rest of us are not so stupid or blind as those who selected this year's team.

The stupidity of the WNBA players and executives to not protect the Golden Goose (Clark), is a testament that they’d rather kill the best opportunity the WNBA has ever had to build a viable sport’s opportunity for ALL women, than share the glory with a straight, white rookie. Evil has no bounds.
As Kelsey Plum once stated;
"We're not asking to pay what the men get paid," Plum told the show's hosts Jeff Tomastik, Lowell Raven, and Drew Belcher. "We're asking to get paid the same percentage of revenue shared."
Given that the WNBA loses over 10 million dollars EVERY year up till now, if you really wanted to share in the revenue, you and every other WNBA player would have to pay the league to play. Your revenue doesn’t even justify your career existence. Think about that when you continue to slay your best opportunity to become a revenue generating entity.
She isn’t ready for the Olympics those international players will embarrass her, the vets struggle to beat some of those teams lol what the hell is CC gonna do but get knocked down. Y’all were crying when she got a hard foul by a player in the WNBA lol she will get hurt against other countries cause they play harder then the wnba.

Sure seems like she’s holding her own in the WNBA -AND- putting up record breaking stats. You know, against the very same women who’ve won the last 7 straight Olympic gold medals and won the 2020 gold by a score of 90-75 against the host team. Playing international basketball is nothing new to Clark as she has years experience playing on the USA youth national team - the same experience that most of the other players on the 2024 Olympic roster had. This so-called lack of experience you suggest didn’t seem to be problematic for the other women on the list I provided, who had no more experience than Clark at their first Olympics. And none of that takes into account that one of the players on the roster just returned from an injury that kept her out for some time and another player who is still injured with an undetermined return date. How do you not take a fully healthy player against someone who’s been inactive for enough time as to be questionable for being ready at this level of play? Sorry - your argument is beyond flat.
First time ever, Americans and those abroad will be rooting for the women's team opposing the US womens Olympic team 🤷♂️
Just like MLB in the 40s white only until Jackie Robinson came along
Nobody wants to see dinosaur Taurasi and Griner play. WNBA and Team USA will lose millions in merchandising and TV viewership/advertising revenue. Send Reese and Clark to the Olympics, and make some crazy profits for the floundering (28-year-old) league and women's basketball.
Will Caitlin be included on the All-Star 3-point Contest?
Its all about the Benjamin's. And the Benjamin's say Clark is the biggest asset the WNBA has . Which equates to The Most Valuable Player in the league. The Benjamin's say this is undeniably an undisputed fact. When you are 4games under 500 ball and you play to full house BOTH home and away that is more than amazing . Fevers away games are being moved to bigger arenas . This is a phenomenon

Due to recent WNBA history being made by SOMEBODY, you need a serious follow-up Part II to this video.
on Aja Wilsons rhetorics...
it seems she want to force the people to like her as well as her fellow black players...
FYI...IT HAPPENED in MAYA MOORE..when both blacks and white likes her basketball skills...THAT IS ONE THING THAT YOU SHOULD DO...
But antagonizing Caitlin Clark will definitely put you down...as you already know...she has a magnetic personality...attracting viewrship of WNBA GAMES..
IF YOU GO AGAINTS CC..that wd mean..you will go againts her fans..both WHITE AND BLACK PEOPLE...AROUND THE WORLD.. not in USA only...
Losing Streak coming. The Aces vs Suns was the best game this season. Better then NBA playoffs 😂
I agree about the losing streak. The Fever are improving as an unavoidable function of knowing each others' game better. But Sides can't coach.
There is more support for Caitlin then any women in history.
Why haven't the Chicago Sky moved Sunday's game with Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fevers from the much smaller Wintrust Arena to the United Center, which holds 20,000 seats?
Caitlin Clark is the most popular player in the WNBA. She Sells out every place that she plays, and the tickets for Sunday's REMATCH Game in Chicago between superstar rookie Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fevers against fellow rookie Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky are extremely hard to get. But the Sky have Refused to play the game at the much bigger United Center in Chicago, the House that Michael Jordan built.
It's Bad business not to move the game to the much larger stadium.
Why isn't it being done?
It’s simple, taurasi is a guard position so is CC so who will have a smaller playing time if CC plays plus taurasi is a rookie when she joined tEAM USA w/c is the only thing she can brag about if CC doesn’t join them.
I think she will end up on the team now that taurasi and other players are now praising her. I wouldn't doubt that Diana steps down to give her a spot.
You absolutely right, everything you're saying, where the fans know the truth, and the truth will set you free, the only reason because she was white, it's not her fault she was biologically born White, she's biologically a woman, she has a boyfriend, she's not gay, she's not ghetto, she's humble respectful, she is really good in basketball, and she's good because she work hard in practice, if you practicing, you're not going to just instantly learn skills and know how to do stuff just because you're a woman, she's not trying to just figure it out she putting in the work, she is the example of how a woman supposed to be, and that's why she has so many fans she's a real life superhero, I can't wait to her shoes come out, and her basketball comes out, and one more thing she is the richest rookie in the league, so you know all of the coaches all of the coaches is jealous cuz of that Caitlin Clark is real and her popularity is not going away, she is not a one-hit wonder, she's the real deal😊
WNBA CC22 NEXT TEAM USA 🇺🇸 PUT HER ON!
Wnba needs C C presents on the court 💯
I hope she can survive this - what would be GREAT is she signs another multi million $ sponsor deal and watch the WBNA whine and cry about this
Dude the avg 1.3 million viewers
Their is denial, they lie to cover their envy, Jealousy, and they script they read from. In a debate you lossed. The money that a win fall, and basketball is a sport, the players are ones how you should market your entertainment and a reminder, sports are an entertainment and it's the fan's who are financially supporting. All of commission and the board members, say no, but the fans can say no by not going to any games. Money talks.
Especially her teammate Mitchell she don't even want to throw her the ball Caitlin Clark be a little more selfish take your shots when you get ready don't pass nothing to them
You do realize, by definition, you cannot have more than 100 percent of anything, right?
By not playing her the USA are making there team weaker & the opponents a better chance of getting the Gold medal.... if your good enough your old enough....
I 100% don't see the logic.
Well, they're more than happy to give her the hot potato when there's 2 seconds left on the shot clock. Before that, not so much.
Or that she’s struggling-- breaking records doesn’t = struggling
Awesome totally agree
I love America, but that does not mean that i have to love everything about America. If CC isn’t on the Olympic team, and welcomed there, will not watch the American team, at all. And I will pray they suffer a quick exit. I don’t think people understand how deeply people who sunburn easily feel about this. I really don’t.
Now tell me that's not rookie of the year not Chucky dog Angel Reese
if you are snubbed by Team USA, please play for Italy in the Olympics and let WNBA kiss their ass.
@@amadodumaguin6136 The Women's BaskeTbaLL GoLd wiLL be fLying back To aMeRiCa:
Sinçe 1980.
I personally am happy Clark is not going . France is in political turmoil and civil unrest. As always the Olympics will be a clear and present danger for terrorist . And considering Clarks notoriety, if there is a terroristic attack being planned, it would only put her and team USA in a highten positions of danger. They know everyone would be watching. So maybe the good Lord has kept this woman off the roster. I take it as a blessing
Reese and Swoops hugged like they were just freed from slave master Clark
@@AztecRay skinhed
You're right have a man name grinder play
CC should play with canada for the olympics.....
She can play, legally, with either Ireland or Italy.
What league do you plan in?
The point Gawd is back. Wanna see some real passes. See Clark fsns soon Aja 26 points 16 rebounds. Aces beat the skin off the Sun. Best game of the season. It was juicy asf
I don't watch the Aces after A'ja called me a racist. I won't give her accolades or even acknowledge her. I don't care how good she is. I'm not going to waste my time on someone like her.
DONT NONE OF THEM LIKE CC...THEY KNOW IN TIME SHE WILL BREAK EVERY RECORD THEY SET AND NOBODY WOULD REMEMBER HOW SORRY THEY WERE. BUT WHAT THEY WILL REMEMBER IS HOW THE WMBA TREATED THEIR PLAYERS...THEY THINK THEIR ALL THAT BUT THEIR REALLY JUST GIRLS THAT TRIED TO PLAY BASKETBALL BUT COULDNT DO A DECENT JOB AT IT..
You sound like Ray Romano, the comedian....
It's sad that ppl or players find it hard to let a newcomer in the league with new ideas new viewers. Better stats etc Just because she doesn't have a college championship ring doesn't mean she's not good. Common now it seems like jealousy. Just play and stop this BS. Caitlin's is great! Prove me wrong!
The reason nobody watched wnba is it has no respect for the game, same as any other pro sport, you compete to see who best talent at the game, cc has made indiana very competitive in there game because 3 players trap cc , well 2 other places are wide open. Shoot 3s or get layup, so much players can learn off Caitlin, she is absolutely the best all around player of this 20th century, get some class ghetto ball players, it's not if you can break her legs , it's are you going to practice as hard as she did to become one of the best, love for the game with all you soul makes you achieve what no one before you has done, Jordan, James, bird, they all fed of great opponents, they proved who was great buy there dedicated time spent on being the best, still was congratulating there opponents after there games even if they lost.
Terrific !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Caitlin fans The Las Vegas Aces…two time WNBA champions are the ONLY team in the WNBA to sell out EVERY home game. If Clark has such a following why can’t she sell out her home court…hmmm
Obviously, CC has no following…it’s all a malicious, fabricated falsehood but thankfully you figured it all out 😂
The size of their arenas is a little different...duh.
@glenparks8529 You must be 100% right. Why bother to watch the vid when you can skip right to making stupid comments. Hmmm.
These people were saying your comments were false, brain dead , childish , clown comments. Then I looked up the aces average attendance of 9,000 vs the Fever 18,000. And realized they were right.
@@jaylucas8352 You can resort to insults all you want while calling me names...but whatever. The size of the arena doesn't matter if she is so great then sell out. When the Aces play at the T Mobile Arena...they sell there as well and that is well over 20K. But then you are already convinced that CC is the greatest. After she wins a championship then real basketball fans will pay attention. CC is a marketing ploy...the second the likes of Juju Watkins hits the WNBA she will fade out and all you band wagon fans will jump on the Juju wagon. But all good resorting to insults...you are of no consequence to me.
When we give people jobs over smarter and better qualified people and allow some people to spew lies and hate, based entirely on what they look like, this will continue. Everything should be based on merit, ethnic and behavior. And if one group isn't capable of competing that way, I'm totally fine with giving a helping hand. But only after it's admitted that help is required and everyone isn't as equal as we pretend. It ain't rocket science. It's the simplest thing ever but it must include little honesty and a whole lot less hubris.
The gay liberal women’s basketball association has been told and they knew before Clark came on the league was dying so if they can’t figure out if they try to remove her,she gets hurt and she’s gone so is the league. A basketball team doesn’t exist without fans inspectors watching it. and that will not exist without Clark what makes it worse. The fans would know that the league had something to do with her gone.We need a Michael Jordan and a Pete Maravich performance to make the game exciting and watch it🎉😊. And that’s exactly what we have with Clark.❤
Maybe two to certain extent. But when Clark came along, the fire 🔥 was lit with jealousy ,Clark not gay and she’s not the black
team USA needs to think really hard and long-------when you make a mistake admit it and fix it or it;'ll come bite you in the jersey
