(In reception or in actuality) is racially prejudiced, then go ahead. Sounds absolutely miserable to me, but not my life 🤷🏻‍♂️

Caitlin Clark being left off team USA shows the cattiness of the WNBA

I don’t care about business or viewership, pick the best players. Period.

Indy Coug

Jun 8, 6:34pm

This is the right answer. It would have been even worse for her if she was

Not when you’re trying to grow the game, then it’s a dumb move

palangi

If they had tryouts and she missed like stated below then I take it back

If you don't want the jealousy against Clark to grow, don't treat her different.

runnincoug

Jun 8, 6:44pm

I could not care less about the jealousy against Clark! Anyone JEALOUS of Clark

Endocoug

Jun 8, 7:04pm

Why do you believe she is the future of the sport?

Archaea

Jun 8, 7:20pm

she is the most popular women’s basketball player to ever

Endocoug

Jun 8, 7:28pm

Being popular doesn’t make you the future

Archaea

Jun 9, 5:38pm

It makes "no" sense leaving her off? What's the rationale for her being a top 12

runnincoug

Jun 8, 7:25pm

She is THE (#1) most popular female basketball player ever

Endocoug

Jun 8, 7:31pm

The olympics are not about popularity. That's where we disagree. If it was,

Business is the only thing that matters. No mon' no fun.

DirtyWater

Jun 8, 6:36pm

Exactly, are you chosing the best players or the most popular players

GSwarriorcoug

Jun 8, 6:37pm

The original dream team would like a word!

Endocoug

Everyone agreed then and now that adding Laettner was dumb. No one

She is not remotely close

Archaea

Jun 8, 6:37pm

She’s not remotely the top 12 US female in bbal?? I beg to differ

ABN RGR

Jun 8, 6:40pm

Not remotely close.

Archaea

Jun 8, 6:42pm

She's 13th in scoring, 4th assists, 17th in steals, 18th in blocks. Seems closer to top 12 than not remotely close to me

Spiff

Jun 8, 6:47pm

So a volume player is judged solely on stats? No, you like her

Archaea

Jun 8, 6:50pm

If she didn't show up for tryouts, then she shouldn't be on the team. I'm ok w/ a rookie having to tryout.

Spiff

Jun 8, 6:54pm

She was playing in the Final Four and so missed the tryout camp, which is not

chilawcoug

Jun 8, 6:54pm

Treat rookies all the same. No special treatment. It’s not like she’s A’ja

Archaea

Jun 8, 6:58pm

I’m not saying that. I’m saying it’s being mischaracterized as “not showing up”

chilawcoug

Jun 8, 7:03pm

So? Why should rookies be that important?

Archaea

Jun 8, 7:05pm

Cool story

chilawcoug

Jun 8, 7:07pm

If she is good enough, she will earn her way on in four years.

Archaea

Jun 8, 7:12pm

Cool

You keep saying didn’t show up. It wasn’t like she blew it off. She was playing

Archaea

Once again, you dodge the point and assign someone a position he never took

I am making the judgment in light of the constant whining about how the

Wow. Right to calling me a racist. Nice.

Spiff

Jun 8, 8:04pm

How many are foreign? (I don’t know wbb well enough, but I guess there’s some)

ABN RGR

Jun 8, 8:05pm

She's going to shatter the WNBA record for most turnovers in a season.

Y05

Jun 8, 6:43pm

Yeah these turnovers are egregious

chilawcoug

Jun 8, 6:57pm

The entire world is conspiring to keep poor CC down.

Archaea

Jun 8, 7:13pm

No I just thought the videos were funny in the context of the response.

chilawcoug

Jun 8, 7:15pm

There are always some head scratchers from stats people, but

Archaea

Jun 8, 7:18pm

I’ve watched enough to know her turnover problem is bad right now. I know you

chilawcoug

Jun 8, 7:20pm

She may become a good pro player. I have tried to like women’s bball

Archaea

Jun 8, 7:21pm

Yeah obviously a lot are drawn to the style that Caitlin Clark plays that were

chilawcoug

Jun 8, 7:24pm

I watch the Aces because they are the local team

Archaea

Jun 9, 8:31am

Considering how dominant the US Women are in the Olympics, it's likely her turnover problem would be resolved by a

Spiff

Jun 8, 7:21pm

Nope, not yet. I think she will be eventually, but not close right now.

runnincoug

Jun 8, 6:46pm

To all those saying no:

chilawcoug

Jun 8, 6:49pm

Because the season is young and they don’t like the undue attention she receives

Archaea

Jun 8, 6:51pm

Wow. It’s amazing so many coaches and players are purposefully making their

chilawcoug

Jun 8, 6:53pm

More like, whoever is guarding her that night is extra attentive so they don't

runnincoug

Jun 8, 7:03pm

You’d think some coach at this point would stop that selfishness

chilawcoug

Jun 8, 7:07pm

"Hey, you, player! Stop trying to defend so dang hard tonight!" It's selfish!

runnincoug

Jun 8, 7:27pm

No coach is going to tell a player to stop faceguardingher opponent full court?

chilawcoug

Jun 8, 7:33pm

That'd make sense if it were a single defender. Why the double teams?

ryebrye

Jun 8, 7:38pm

The defensive gameplan should nearly always be to double the other team's best.

runnincoug

Jun 9, 9:16am

What are Plum, Ionescu, and Stewart?

IGlowInTheDark

Jun 8, 7:28pm

WNBA advanced stats have CC as 7th best guard in league (under efficency stat)

They left off Reese and Brink as well.
