Should Caitlin Clark have been included on the Olympic team?

What is crazy is that the thing Caitlin Clark is supposed to be good at is shooting from distance. And she is 35th in 3 point percentage. |
Just admit you don't like her and will keep inventing reasons to keep her off the team.

| Have you seen how the other women players on other teams talk and act around her? If she were on the team, would likely get accidentally "pushed around" in the locker room a few too many times. Best for her to rest and improve her game. She will easily be the best player in the WNBA ever in a few years (which is not saying much, the WNBA is weak). |

She will not win a single WNBA mvp let alone be the best WNBA player ever. Too thin, weak handle, poor defender. She seems like a nice person, but she is way over hyped. Both Paige Buekers and JuJu will have better WNBA careers. |

Have no idea what is racist about team chemistry. If I said rookies on other teams (Aces, Sky, Sparks, Mystics) have better chemistry with their team than she does with Fever, is that also racist? |

| They kept trying to force the comparison to Steph Curry, but right now she's like a very watered down version of James Harden without the strength and handle. |

The other women can't be expected to act like professionals and not bullies, so, it's for the best. You're hilarious. |

10/10 times I would take the veteran who has been there before and won multiple times over someone who has never been to an international competition and hasn’t even played a full season of professional basketball. That’s basically the reason Alex Morgan is likely going to the Olympics over players who have a much better claim to go than CC. |

Yes, and the women's soccer team did so well last time with their "experienced" team. So much success. |

That may be true, but they never brought the eyeballs or ticket sales that Clark has. Finally, a women’s sport is getting major momentum on the ticket sales and all these players are tearing it down. As usual the biggest obstacles in the workplace are other women. Clark hasn’t done anything to deserve the attacks on her. She can’t help what the audience thinks. She has not said anything about being better than other players or deserving a spot on the Olympics team. |

I can see this both ways. CC owns the sport in a couple of years. She is the MJ, the Tom Brady. She will have time. What she needs on her team now is a couple of goon players who can protect her and fight back so she can shine. Every hockey superstar has an enforcer to protect him -- that is what she needs. |

I think this is just wrong. No reason to believe what you said. The best in the college game have always become the best in the WNBA -- not true for the men -- always true for the ladies. |

Correct. But they missed their chance to change that. The US Women will win again and nobody will remember anything about them. Meanwhile, Indiana will keep selling out huge arenas. She’s single-handedly making women’s basketball relevant. The old guard hates to admit it, but she’s coming for them and they are scared to death. She’s too thin with weak hands is all just racist code for she’s too white. So in the meantime they’re just going to do their best to knock her down (and some might argue -actually injure her), while she’s the only one anyone is actually putting their money on. |

| CC could definitely become a great player in the WNBA but it will take time. She’s not going to make first team all WNBA for at least 3 and more likely 5 years, and that’s ok. People thinking a rookie is the best player in the pro game just don’t know what they are talking about |
