[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is. Caitlin Clark isn’t one of the best 12 American women basketball players right now. Putting her on the team just because she is popular would suggest Livvy Dunne should be added to the gymnastics team. [/quote]

Exactly.

And if we are just trying to add "eyeballs" to the team, why not suggest every woman athlete dress in skimpy uniforms?

The point of the Olympics is/should be about athletic achievement, not marketing.[/quote]

Are you familiar with women's beach volleyball?

I feel like some of you never watch other sports of the Olympics for that matter.[/quote]

I feel like you don’t understand the difference between a sport that started on/is played beaches and every other woman athlete at the games. Leaving aside that the question isn’t what women choose to wear but whether they should be forced to show a lot of skin if that will attract more male viewers— because that is what you are suggesting. [/quote]

See also track and field, gymnasts, swimmers, do you actually watch any sport other than basketball? If you had a clue you would be aware that women athletes are complaining about the uniforms. I'd ask you if you could hazard a guess as to why that might be but it's pretty clear you would be stumped.[/quote]
