[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]

That's the wrong track. People are leaving out the elephant in the room - race. There is no chance that the leading scorer in NCAA history would be left off the Olympic team if she were black. That's the issue. The powers that be in women's basketball are having a fit bc some white girl from the cornfields is good at basketball. And she has a huge contract with a shoe company. And she's bringing in a gazillion viewers to what has long been a viewerless sport.

Idiots. Their pathetic racism is going to cost them millions. And I'm pretty sure Caitlin Clark is good enough to play against Angola, which I guess we'll never see now.[/quote]

Wait— you think she is actually good enough to make the team and got left off because she is white?

That is crazy talk. If you want to argue she isn’t good enough to make the team but we should let her because a bunch of white people will be more invested in the team and maybe will eventually watch more WNBA games that is at least an argument. But arguing it’s all a conspiracy is just racist nonsense.

I mean Kelsey Plum was the then- NCAA career scoring leader, number 1 overall pick in the draft in 2017 and she didn’t make the team for 2020 Olympics. [/quote]
