@@igloo2158 I'm Black. I've watched every single game Caitlin Clark played this year. Because the games were exciting. Even when they lost. But because of watching Clark, I've come to learn about some of the others. Love Sabrina of New York Liberty
@@louisedemontigny5110 I don't know about that, but the old guard had the power to pick the players and I think Geno A. of UCONN has a lot of influence to keep his favorites on the team. We need to know who was on the committee and why they ignored the best player from college, but stuck with old and injured retreads.
I don't believe she didn't have any input. Nope, not at all. They knew she would steal the thunder. It's cost USA Olympics tens of millions of dollars, at least. Jealous, petty people.
The obviously didn't realize that a cc boycott and then also a Olympic boycott of all the olympics for that stupid opening ceremony that was pushing that Sam wnba theme would affect the usa bball team the way it did. No fans which really bothered these narcissistic 🌈 girls and plenty of the usa was hoping usa lost. Very few reporters were there which pit a burr in dt undies and the entire Olympic experience was a negative for them. Embarassing.
I doubt Reeve would say that out loud if it weren't true. There should be accountability for the 5 people on the selection committee. None of them accepted responsibility except Dawn Staley. They have to be removed before the 2028 Olympics.
I agree, I don't believe she had zero say at all, I do believe she might not have had the final say, but being the coach, she had to have a vote. I think the UConn effect had too much influence.
She showed up in a T-shirt proclaiming "Black Girls Rock" to Caitlin's game in Indiana. It's very clear why she would do a thing like that. It's an open display of disdain and dissatisfaction with CC's popularity. It's just an as 100% proof of bias as certain referee's open rudeness and hostility against Caitlin Clark for no rational reasons. The entire WNBA needs a colossal enema.
I'm guessing the Olympic team members are there because they're the best in the league. But, they were beaten by the All Star team. Shouldn't the All Star team gone to the Olympics? All politics.
Only tokk a few months to come up with her exit card on the disaster that was the Olympic team. "Oh, I has nothing to do with it. I was only the coach managing what I was given".
Do not believe this treacherous woman. They see the ratings of Clark playoff games versus everyone else's playoff games. And she is trying to build up good will So that clark fans stick around for the rest of the playoffs and finals. When clark is out, im out. The sun still protest the national anthem to this day.
Nah man I live in the UK as a Head Coach you are entitled to have a wild card choice as you do in USA Golf Ryder Cup, of a players you want in your squad which wouldn't get challenge, Caitlin Clark 😂😂😂😂😂😎👊🏽
Not really a Lynn Dunn fan She said she doesn’t care for these Caitlin Clark fans that have become Fever fans. Plus let’s give a hand for that 3 year plan lol If Caitlin Clark wasn’t on the team you wouldn’t have made the playoffs this year. She’s a Christy sides fan and I think they all dropped the ball this year. I say hire two more to replace these two
Tonight's outcome depends upon Mitchell. If she starts thinking about her future/Free Agency & starts going after her own numbers then the SEASON IS OVER. She's got to stick with what's worked all year. Get it to CC and run the court - fill lanes, look for spotups, backdoors, long passes for layups, catch and drives, etc. Hoping she sticks to the plan.
The Fever need to get rid of Sides if and only if they can get a better coach. A proven winner or it might hurt more than help. They also need to get rid of NaLyssa Smith as soon as possible. I feel they need a better bench overall as well so they can rest the starters.
The team was selected by the USA Basketball Women’s National Team Committee and approved by the USA Basketball Board of Directors. In addition to Rizzotti, the committee includes Dawn Staley (University of South Carolina), Bethany Donaphin (WNBA) and Dan Padover (Atlanta Dream), as well as athlete representatives Seimone Augustus and DeLisha Milton-Jones.
Also I have been in lower levels for youth soccer Olympic development program involved in selecting regional then national team and HELL YES the coach of regional teams and the national team had a huge say/influence on who made the team. Complete BS and Reeves passing off any accountability. Complete Chicken $hit she is.
This is like the scene in Knives Out where everyone says they invited Marta to the funeral but was vetoed by everyone else. When it comes to this olympics fiasco, everyone is scrambling to duck and cover and point the finger at someone else.
During that break CC rested with her Fever teammates, AND they figured out how to play TOGETHER. That produced a style of team play which was obviously fun for all the players on the floor. Way more entertaining to watch, than most of the other wnba teams that play ghetto ball.
Hears my take re: Reeves…whether she’s lying or not, I, for one, was glad CC didn’t go to the Olympics. She was better off staying home and getting a much needed break to relax, see family and be with her teammates. As for Sides, I honestly think she’ll be around another year but we’ll see 🤷♀️
As someone who is a fan of both the WNBA and the NBA, I was going through some WNBA rosters yesterday and noticed a large number of white US born WNBA players - especially the stars (Del Donne, Breanna Stewart, Kelsey Plum, Sabrina Ionescu, Marina Mabrey, Lexie Hull, Diana Taurasi, Sophie Cunningham, Caitlyn Clark, etc.) When compared to the number of white American born NBA there are far fewer - both stars and just white US born player on any men's roster. Any thoughts on why so many more white US born women succeed in pro basketball compared to white US born men?
I read somewhere that Diana Taurasi didn't want her, she wanted to be the only one with 6 gold medals and if Caitlin was on this team she could win 6 golds too.
Assuming sports are a set up and winners predetermined, and assuming they are going to use CC to grow the league, what a set up IF they have the Fever advance to the next round. Sounds like a conspiracy theory lol
The claim is that the argument was just based on marketing? The problem for the committee and their media defenders is, Caitlin's stats were better than any guard they selected? So the basketball argument for taking her stands! The outcome that it was a good thing for Caitlin not to go is irrelevant. They didn't know that was going to happen? And they certainly weren't motivated by what was best for Caitlin? In fact, if they could go back, theyd probably take her, so she wouldn't be as effective as she was post Olympics! If it wasn't for the massive revenue she was bringing to them, they'd would have found a way to oust her from the league months ago! I don't want it to go to this? But it wouldn't be such a bad thing, if Caitlin found a way to create her own league? She can already guarantee it would attract a way bigger audience than the WNBA? So funding wouldn't be an issue? And the players whose hate is so great, even a much higher wage isn't enough to come to Caitlin's league? Shouldn't be welcome anyway? So good riddance! A fresh start for women's basketball is exactly what's needed. A chance to clean out all the politics, negativity, and make much needed changes like lowering the basket? Increasing the number of teams? And better quality officials? The current refs are by far the worst in sports! The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it needs to happen! Why not? There wouldn't even be any concerns about competitors, because the WNBA would be finished! 😊
Look everyone knew the reason Clark wasn’t asked for the Olympics bc of all the ole timers who are not coming back including the coaches and the selection committee, this was their last hurrah and no one was going to ruin their last chance
It sucks to have 59 year old grandma Turasi on the team to name a few that were non factors….. I know that DT is 43 and not 59, but she moves like my 93 yr old grandmother and shoots it like my grandpa when he was 89 and passed away
@@lesstraveledroad1537C.C. would not think of having her teammates feal she is letting them down.Shes always got their backs even after a season of them showing they don't have hers.
If Catalina wants to play on international basketball she has to change nationality and play for another country, because things with her are only getting worst and worst by the minutes.
Bullcrap i dont belive that they didnt have power that is a lie 100% Every coach on every olypian team have the final word . Like a nobody knows the team needs a center a guard oe anything els is LUDACRIS .
Reeves must have had some influence on that decision, she probably didn't want to get shanked by one of the player's in the locker room showers, or did she ??? 🤫 😂😅😂😂 / and the fever should get rid of done because she should have fired her after the 1st half of the season.
🤔 I don’t respect Cheryl’s explanation and lack of candor. If she really wanted to come clean, she should have named the parties who WERE responsible. The title of this video is clickbait because the “shocking truth” did NOT come out, just another “I didn’t do it”! The real hidden agenda still remains a secret to this day. The disastrous political risk which was taken caused the team USA 🇺🇸 to come as close to losing the gold as possible. For the life of me, I was astounded that C2 subsequently entered into a collaborative financial venture with Cheryl after the betrayal. 😎
If anyone who knew basketball, and knows Clark, and watched women’s basketball in the Olympics you’d know. International play allows hand checking.,You can do it for 94 feet. There are no touch fouls. It is in your face defense and very very physical. What guard on the US team had a good Olympics? Short answer: nobody. Sabrina was non-existent. It was up to Wilson and Stewie and Thomas and Collier along with Cooper to bring the gold home. Wilson had all she could do to average near 20 points a game. Clark had trouble with the W physicality. She would have had to ride the bench in Taurasi’s place. Watch some games and you’ll see. What she did in age restricted U-19 tournaments doesn’t apply. You’ll see it when the US team starts assembling for the Cups. You’ll see what I mean then. I can’t say for sure, but I wonder if, decades ago, international teams made the game more physical to negate the U.S athletic advantage. It’s not dirty play, the refs don’t allow that but they have zero tolerance for attitude. You’ll see that too.
Win or lose tonite, I hope CC plays well, to at least quiet down the peanut gallery till next year. Uhhh that’s it, as far as the Olympics, rear view mirror, OBVIOUSLY! ☑️👌😎 JP
Dunn is just so pleased with herself, she gives herself so much credit, but no call out or credit to the players, and she sure does make sure to kiss up to the new president and the owner. 🥱🥱🥱

I remember Reeves saying she didnt give two shits about Clark. That doesn't sound like someone who wanted she on the team.
They didn’t want Caitlin to show up the hacks on the team. Caitlin would have gotten all the coverage.
They should have replaced the entire Olympic team with the All Stars when they won their game.

Clark would have deferred the attention to her teammates. Instead, there was no attention to go around in the first place. #Irony
Cheryl Reeve has spoiled her rep for history. She has permanently soiled her name. Even if she apologized it would help nothing.

They are allergic to rebounding too. They need an enforcer, the nastiest there is, to stop the dirty stuff.
