Leaving Caitlin Clark off USA basketball is incredibly stupid.
Women's basketball just got their freaking long-awaited Messiah and they're kicking her in the teeth bc she's not the mixed race gender-variant poster child they'd prefer. How stupid is that? What really gets me is Caitlin Clark's massive male fan base isn't because she's spank bank material like Sharipova or Kournikova. It really is admiration for her athletic skills. I'm not saying she's ugly, but Clark isn't anywhere close to a supermodel. Her ability to hit bombs way outside the arc is a girl version of Steph Curry. It also shows that most male sports fans are far from the sexist pigs woke academics WANT and NEED us to be. |

Sounds like it was more of a timing/scheduling thing. She was still in college when they had their off season mini camp. There is also a precedent of star rookies not being added to Olympic rosters.

Saved me from having to watch the women's Olympic basketball games.
Just kidding. I wasn't going to watch anyway. |

Caitlin coach said Caitlin told her that being left off the u.s. team woke up a monster. You could say that they woke up the wrong mother****er. She is a chiefs fan.

Damn, I miss Sharipova and Kournikova. Don’t even know if they ever won anything. Hawt-ness personified though.

i always preferred Kournikova, probably b/c I'm short and Sharipova would make me look like a dwarf. That's ok, honestly, but most women don't really like that. It always annoyed me when people would say Kournikova "can't play." HELLO, she won doubles titles and was one of the best doubles players in the world. Ranked #8 in singles at one point and made the semis in Wimbledon when she was 16. Her serve sucked, which is why she struggled in singles. But, seriously, top 10 in the world is far from, "Can't play." Most of us never come close to being top ten in the world at anything. But, yeah, it wasn't the athleticism that made Kournikova a star. She was dead sexy PLUS athletic. THOSE LEGS!!!! Damn... |

There’s really no hiding what they’re trying to do. They claim it was about merit yet chose a 42 year old. They chose two who are probably too injured to be available. They claim they are trying to win games, as if the 6th guard on the roster is even going to matter.
It’s obvious what’s going on. The delusional old guard actually believes that their game is growing to where viewers will show up in droves for a taurasi farewell tour. Nobody is going to care |

A foul is a foul and a flagrant foul is a flagrant foul. There is no toughen up. Just call stuff fairly. Note: This post may have been slightly edited to protect the innocent (people with UCB on ignore).
