Realistically from a merit standpoint Arike ugonbowale has a case for being snubbed too. She was snubbed for taurasi who is on the downside of her career. So with that being said… either taurasi isn’t going to play much which means clark easily could have made the roster as a figurehead. Or they’re going to force a lesser player in taurasi the same way we played rapinoe when she was way past her prime, in which case they’re leaving off a much better player in someone like ogunbowale.
In either scenario, taurasis inclusion on the team doesn’t make sense to anyone who wants to argue about merit or wanting to build the best roster.
