There are two simple paths here: include her in and by association fans will grow to like the players around her. Like how Larry bird fans grew to love Robert Parrish. Or their dumbass approach right now which is to exclude her unless she conforms to the very image that has made the wnba an unpopular mess. We know which road the wnba has gone down and that is just insane. Taurasi is a fine candidate for the Olympics but it’s clear the wnba inside their delusional echo chambers believes that revolving the Olympics around her will do more for the sport than revolving it around clark. They legitimately believe that.
