[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The olympic team hasn't lost a game in years. They won't lose a game this year. Nobody will care about them or watch their games and they'll wonder why. Women's basketball has the worst marketing and promotion apparatus of any sport in the country. There are high school teams better at promoting themselves. [/quote]

This. As noted by pps - this was the worst business decision that could’ve been made. They’ve lost a great opportunity to grow their fan base. [/quote]

You do realize that USA Basketball committee and WNBA are separate entities right? All the committee cares about is winning medals. Caitlin is a talented player but I don’t think she is ready for the physicality of international play this olympics, she may be ready for World Championships in 2 years but will definitely be ready for the 2028 Olympics.[/quote]

She's 100% not physically ready for the Olympics at this point; she needs time to add muscle. The youngest player on the team is four years old than Clark, because it takes time to develop enough to play at that level. Taurasi is a veteran leader, you don't cut her for an young, undersized rookie.

This is lost on the DCUM "WNBA Final Four" crowd, because all they know is that the TV told them she's the best.[/quote]

Then why not 3 on 3? HVL is on that team and stayed in college because she knows she won't be drafted. Caitlin Clark embarrassed her the last time they played [/quote]

Not to mention the fact that she’s getting sh!t beat out of her in regular old WNBA games due to basic envy and hatred (racism?). If she can hold up to that and keep going, she can deal with a few Russians coming at her.[/quote]

lol…compare to international physicality, what she is experiencing in WNBA is a tap. CC would be done for the season if they send her to Paris.[/quote]
