NO CC is not going to be on the Olympic team and NO the team will not regret it. The SOLE INTENT of the team is to win gold in the Olympics and CC's inclusion or exclusion will not affect it one way or the other. She is neither NEEDED to win or WANTED as a distraction.
Since they snubbed her, I would tell her don't go, you don't need them and if they only give you 2 minutes to play is that really earning a gold medal. And they don't care if anybody regrets it because they're not, they have an agenda they're toxic stay away caitlin... And Christ is king..
it would be funny if she played for a Canada just for the shits and giggles four years from now if she would go to the pros there. and then team USA, but I know Caitlyn’s not that way. just a thought.😊
I agree she ought to decline. I believe she needs to regroup, see family, prepare Fever and herself for August, September+ playoffs. Everyone wants a piece of her.
Decline, politely, stating sorry I’m washing my hair, taking a break, I’m a rookie, and at the same time ask what her options are at the end of the season
She won't have to decline because they will not ask her. CC is the best thing to happen to women's basketball. But I get it she's a rookie and in time she will make the Olympic team. But think about the NBA dream team in the Olympics. They took one rookie fresh out of college player with them. I forget his name but he regretted it and later on the players admitted that they regretted it to. It was a bad look and there were other players just because they had been in the league longer deserved that one spot. I don't think CC needs that kind a negative publicity.. LET HER EARN IT ON HER OWN SHE WILL.. and just because she is not on it if you're hoping they lose or rooting against the team USA then in my opinion that's an UnAmerican
Reeve’s actions over the weekend demonstrated that she lacks the sensitivity, integrity and ethics to voluntarily make this corrective statement. Something tells me Reeve got called to the principal’s office (WNBA Commissioner). Her comments and actions over the weekend were careless at best and race baiting at worse. She should be removed as the coach of the Olympic team. She is ignorant and narrow minded to represent USA on foreign Shores. The Olympic Organization must do better!
@@delconagher12 her country left her off the roster. The USA coach (reeves) wears a shirt Black Girls Rock. The ultimate payback would be her smoking the US team just like she did Reeves WNBA team.
Yes, you want the viewership. Even if she doesn't play you want those same fans viewing to go out and purchase merchandise such as jerseys. That's how the women's game will grow. But who doesn't get that? The women 😂
Respectfully Ms Cheryl Reeve, many of us had know idea you existed prior to Ms Caitlyn Clark becoming an WNBA player. This can likely be said of most of the talent in the WNBA. Ms Wilson, a great player, one of the all time best, love her play but was totally unaware of her elite level of play and dominance. In short you folks need to take advantage of opportunity Ms Caitlyn Clark has put before you and the League. ❤. Celebrate it, embrace it, capitalize on it!!
@@Mr.PR2000 I have said this a number of times now but I will say it again whenever I read ignorant comments like yours. I am NOT an American and I do not reside anywhere close to America yet I knew about the pioneers of this league, I know a lot about the past and present greats while NOT LIVING in America. The WNBA and its players are not known to CC GROUPIE fans but are known around the WORLD.
She won't though because she said just last week she always wanted to play for her country. She'll be on it, in a playing role in 4 years. Matter of time.
At this point she should turn down any invite. USA screwed up big time by not including her and no one is interested in watching usa womens ball without her. The arrogance of other players to think that anyone wants to see them play is hilarious.
She only saying this now because of the standing ovation from the Minnesota crowd at Clark’s command - and how her not giving two shits backfired in her face
This is what the WNBA has been begging for, now they just complain & insult CC. That is a stupid coach that does not take advantage of the gift you’ve prayed for! Instead she votes against CC being on team USA. I love watching CC’s passion & undeniable talent as well as sportsmanship. While retired veterans & these coaches including the Fever’s coach are just bitter & hateful trying to break CC’s spirit. The only way I watch team USA is with CC!
goes to show that when you let a lot old girls in, things happen they should have an age limit. Clarks stats in the WNBA has showed that they should dump a lot of them. pull the rookie stats of all these players and match them to Clarks. she dwarfs them. funny thing Taurasi played USA as a rookie?
US basketball team can't afford to leave her out of the team, but she can afford to leave thenUSA team out of her schedule and take a good rest for any injuries.
Silver had a talk with her. Promoting the game and butts in seats is the job of every person in management of the WNBA. CLARK is a winner. She will only get better
STOP all this S……., ALL BS that haters and unprofessional people talking, MILLIONS of people like ME, that we NEVER follow NCAA neither WNBA, We are NOW watching because of CAITLIN CLARK,,,no because of Taurasi, Grinder, Chelsea , or Reese ….NOOOOO it’s because of CC
Watching The Indiana Fever TEAM reminds me of the ‘Miracle on Ice’ , minus Herb Brooks! I’m not a fan of the WNBA but these women, as a TEAM have the potential to make themselves great. My advice is to play as a TEAM, run and gun, pass and pick, and keep your heads up! Go Girls!
Say No Thank You Clark! Let the old heads have this one. Fresh start in 2028! Get some mid-season rest/work in! Relax with family! 1st year WNBA Championship focus!
I really hope CC does NOT play for the USA team this year. That Blitch Coach will just find ways to make her look bad. Stay away CC and take your Money with you...
She should say no. I love Clark and she should have been on the team from the beginning, but not now. I dont want her to bail out Team USA. I hope Team USA loses.
@@dre-p3058I don’t want her in team USA based off the fact that the coach hates her. She would’ve probably benched her and treated her like shit in practice.
@Mr.PR2000 she can't do that tho. And I don't belive the team would either none of those players have had beef with caitlin or said anything negative about caitlin aside from diana and griner who been showing caitlin respect as of late. And if caitlin on the team she ain't gonna get away with that
Everyone Loves a Winner. A bunch of Numbers don't mean Squat! She is a Proven Champion and when the Fever catches-up there's going to be an Epidemic. It's heartening to see that there are still Decent people in the world, we love this kid.
they already snub her, she shouldn't accept the invite for this Olympics let them fall on their face by themselves, because if they fail to get gold she will be the scapegoat and not any of the talentless roster and coach...she should decline
I like the way CC doesn’t take all the credit herself when being interviewed she’s grateful for her team. She always has something good to say about AB and KM she does not take his credit herself and that’s what makes her special. I think it’s the way CC was raised and brought up. That makes a huge difference.
Hey "coach" - as a fan of the league, I believe ALL the players ROCK! Every single one of them. Inspiration focus instead of pigmentation focus, please...
I used to want her there, but prefer if she is on the all star and beats them so good and rests. But if there is more advantage, for her, to be on Olympic team, well then I will have to look at all the games she is in. Not watching any if she is not on the Olympic team.I hope she says no, stays on All Star team.
CC should have been on the US WOMENS OLYMPIC BASKETBALL TEAM from day one!! Again, ladies, you all need to start truly understanding and accept the fact that CAITLIN CLARK'S EFFECT is a 100% position thing for your whole LEAGUE! This benefits each and every one of you in a major way! Play your game, but let the process of this historic evaluation in your sport happen. She just wants to play the game she loves as much as each of you loves playing it. When you actually allow this to run its course, then the WNBA will definitely grow to astronomical heights, which in turn will give you all the pay salaries you've been hoping for!!! Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS.
I doubt it. The league is trying to impose its system on an ungovernable force. Lin Dunn supposedly said C needs to follow the plan - the plan that lose games using
I am a long-time CC fan who watched her as a Hawkeye. At first, I was upset. She was not invited to Team USA. But then I watched the first 89 games. The fever had to play. After a short break and some practice and rest, they came out a completely different team And have been improving ever since. I have changed my mind about Team USA. I would much rather see Kaitlyn and the fever. Rest up practice. Get a little gym time and come back after the Olympics to rock the world. There will be another Olympics in four years. God will’in and the creek don’t rise. Caitlyn will be able to play that point so yeah I’ve concluded it was if it was meant as a snub in any way number 22 and the fever will turn that into Sweet HumbleHumble Pie.
Caitlin Clark is a leader and not to many ppl have the quality. She is doing it by showing it. She is a great player. I haven't watched WNBA for a long time but I will be watching her because she is great.
@CoffeeGordy-ze3hu they messed up big time on that one! 17 minutes and all sold out? Hell, they would turn the merchandise market from a 4 billion to a 7 billion dollar business in just this year alone if they'd been smarter about it!!
If Caitlin is finally included in Team USA, imagine when she is not put in and the crowd starts yelling, We Want Caitlin. That is what the Old Guard of The WNBA is afraid of, Clark mania sucking all the oxygen out of the stadium.
@jameslaughter5183 they could put her in for five minutes, and the crowd would be happy, but the longer she plays, the better! Once again , it would be a mass cash draw for the OLYMPICS and the WNBA as a whole!!!
Caitlin Clarks impact reminds me of the Wayne Gretzky effect when the LA Kings traded for him and boosted viewership of the NHL and helped their expansion on the West Coast. Everyone wanted to see him play. His presence attracted media attention and cultivated new fans. Caitlin Clark is also expanding viewership and ticket sales......she is growing the league.......
This girl is growing up fast !!! I think she's got the shoulders to carry this; and she's developing the Poise to engage it. Let the world watch/discern, our exceptionalist, social, racial, sexual, political standards engaged !!!
Does Caitlin deserve to go to the Olympics? Absolutely! She is averaging just as many points as Diana Taurasi is (or was, since Diana's currently injured) and she is a phenomenal basketball player. She would be amazing for Team USA. But (in my opinion here) she needs a break. She's been going hard since her senior college basketball season started last year, and it would be good for her to have a break and calm down a bit. I think she should decline if USA asks her. And who are we kidding? Caitlin wouldn't even play if she went to the Olympics.
She should tell them to stick it where the sun don't shine, and work out with her team, recuperate and weight train. She has been non stop since IOWA started their season around October 2023. Hard pass!
I love ❤️ to watch her play she is when she throws the ball the distance her precision she is the very best she’s humble and not a loud mouth 👄 but a sweet disposition
I’ve laughed at the WNBA from the moment the “we got next” commercials polluted my NBA finals experience 25 some odd years ago until recently. The late great Norm nailed the general sentiment. Gotta say Caitlin Clark piqued my interest and now I’m hooked. What a player. What a team.
Indiana is coming alive, watch out WNBA team's in the playoffs that's all I'm saying, this team is coming alive and jelling "GO FEVER GO." The Olympics will benefit with C.C. on the team.
Caitlin Clark's impact reminds me of the impact that Ronda Rousey had in WMMA. Talent that is ahead of those already 'entrenched' and can only cause a dramatic lift in upcoming competitiors across the board.
What's even more exciting is that behind her in n the pipeline are people that play very similar to her too and so there's going to be a lot of exciting players coming up through the College Ranks..
It would probably be better for CC to rest and recharge for the playoff run, than to be around those jealous and hateful people who are on and coaching the team.
She is right and I've been saying this all along before CC was drafted by the WNBA attendance was not a sell out now that CC plays in the WNBA where ever she goes it's a sell out not even Reese can fill up her arena.
Clark is playing the same way she did at Iowa. She took the team to the NCAA championship game twice. People are following her everywhere. CC is the picture of the WNBA.
Without CC, the USA women’s basketball team will be a joke. Reeve is a jealous joke. Those who exclude someone with CC’s skills, are so outrageous to the point of being ridiculous! After this season, Those racists will look like clowns.
I agree with both opinions, go and not go. Caitlin desperately needs rest. She is challenged night and day on every front. I also believe she deserves to go to Paris. Other rookies have gone and she is performing at a level that warrants this recognition. I must say, however, if she went she would be bullied and challenged constantly by her own team, further exhausting her. Sad.
