to leave CC off the olympic team? Seriously every person involved should be let go and new blood found. She would be must watch TV, without her I don't give a damn. I might have caught 10 mins of their games in prior years.
How dumb do you have to be

I know she couldn’t be in the tryouts because she was in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament, which was really unfair to her..
She may be #1 at bringing eyeballs but is she a top 12 player? I don't know that answer but I also wonder if there isn't another reason she isn't on the team.
We're talking about the Yankees pitcher, correct?I thought of the guitarist from Poison.
Basketball people would be interested in growing the game. Maybe drop the player that got famous for kneeling for the national anthem.
Angel Reese is also immensely popular in some circles. Should she be on the team too, or is the American Idol selection process reserved just for one player?
Clark is going to be a very good player but she's not there yet. She's currently at 67 turnovers in 12 games. To put that in perspective, the most turnovers by one player in a season is 137 in 40 games. If she averaged 'only' 3 turnovers a game the rest of the way and played the remaining 28 games, she'd still shatter the individual turnover record.
I get that she brings eyeballs but she's not one of the 12 best eligible players for USA basketball right now. Glad they were smart and chose 4 players from the Aces since they've won back-to-back WNBA titles.

It was stupid, but still funny. I chuckled, scrolled to the end of the posts, then moved on.
I apparently needed a stupid laugh tonight.
I’m not sure those selecting the athletes to represent the country give two ***** about TV ratings in Olympic competition.
Do you not watch the Olympics ? You really should, there isn't much going on during the July sports calendar. Love the Olympics and Paris is a pretty cool city to be hosting. To be fair though one can love the Olympics and not care for women's hoops. People like what they like and it doesn't hurt anyone else one way or the other. I actually find beach volleyball incredibly boring and it's extremely popular.

One, she’s getting the Isaiah Thomas treatment. Two, part of the mission statement of the US women’s national team is to grow the game. Three she shown that she is a high-quality player that is learning the game at this level and pick it up rather quickly. For, for the people who don’t like her none of those above points matter. Five, for the people that like her four is ignored. Overall, she’s a good player. Her presence will grow the game, but the Olympic committee did what it did. Hearing people talk about her fans want her to be the star instead and all of those things I don’t think that’s the point they’re arguing they’re arguing that she should be part of it to continue to help. Grow the game. everybody’s got their heels in some literally so for those of you that are going to watch the Olympics for the women’s basketball awesome for those of you that are not awesome
While I cannot stand Isiah Thomas, in 1992 he was an established NBA superstar with two championship rings and a Hall-of-Fame resume. At this point Clark is a very promising but turnover-prone rookie on a last-place team.
Not even close to being like the Isaiah Thomas deal. Not sure how that was even remotely considered similar.
Holla
True. She is also despised by many of the stars of the league as was Isiah by Jordan.
Telling about Clark is the way her teammates react to how she is fouled on the court. Recall seeing videos posted of her teammates not calling out back screens and don’t recall rushing to have her back on the hard fouls.
You’re right time will tell
