Lol leading in most categories

Volume stats don't tell the whole story

She's shooting 32% from 3 point range. AKA she's shooting a shit ton of 3's per game despite her high amount of makes

She's averaging 5.6 turnovers per game. That is atrocious for any level of basketball.

She's on pace to smash the single season turnover record.

Hate the game. Not the player.

CBS is reporting that Caitlin Clark, the women’s basketball player in history, is being left off of the Olympic team.

A bunch of women basketball players who most people don’t even know will be representing the US Olympic team in Paris in 2024. Caitlin Clark will not be one of them.


Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark is expected to be left off the Team USA women’s basketball roster for the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris, David Eickholt of 247Sports confirms.

USA Today’s Christine Brennan first reported shortly after midnight Saturday.

Clark became the college basketball all-time leading scorer earlier this year, and she is currently putting up some impressive numbers in the WNBA

In her first 14 games, she has averaged 16.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game. She has also already put up two 30-point games — one of them being during the Fever’s 85-83 win over the Washington Mystics in which she reached a career-high seven 3-pointers. With that performance, Clark became the fastest rookie in WNBA history to record 200+ points and 50+ assists.


David Portnoy from Barstool Sports had this to say about the news:
All right. I’m at Saratoga Belmont Day. Looking spectacular, per usual shoes, bang. But this is about Caitlin Clark being left off the Olympic team. How dumb are these women? How dumb? I don’t know who’s making the decision, women’s Olympic Committee, whatever it is. I don’t care if you don’t think Caitlin Clark talent-wise belongs on this team, even though she does put up 37 to 13, like the most points in the history of the league for a rookie.


In total points scored this season, Clark is 7th in the WNBA. Only four women selected to the Olympic team are ahead of Clark


In scoring average per game Clark is 13th in the WNBA. Only 8 girls on the Olympic Team have game averages in scoring better than Clark (Wilson, Copper, Collier, Stewart, Lloyd, Plum, Young and Ionescu).


In three pointers made this season, Clark is second in the WNBA. No woman on the Olympic team has made more 3’s than Caitlin Clark!

In three pointers made per gamethis year in the WNBA, Clark is 4th in the league. Only two women on the Olympic team averaged more 3s made per game than Caitlin Clark (Plum and Taurasi).


In total assists to date this year in the WNBA, Clark is 3rd in the League. Only one woman on the Olympic team has more assists than Caitlin Clark this year (Thomas).

In assists per game this year in the WNBA, Clark is 4th in the WNBA. Only two woman on the Olympic team have more assists per game (Thomas and Young).

Despite these numbers and breaking nearly every scoring and assist record imaginable during her illustrious career at Iowa, Caitlin Clark is not on the Olympic team. This is a travesty.

The face of women's basketball Caitlin Clark is not on the U.S.A Olympic team, but America hating Brittney Griner is

No hating

Just pointing out statistical facts that Clark fanatics apparently don’t like to hear

Not a fanatic. Nothing wrong with your opinion

the Olympics are about $$$ as well. Where do you think the revenues come in from.

That's what it comes down to.

Why does any fan care if Olympics bring in revenue?

USA Basketball doesn't even seem to care, and they're the ones it actually matters for

I respect that they're not making a move just for eyeballs

Giving it to the 12 players who deserve. Can't rob one of them just to appease the masses

NBA players may not, and a few other groups of MALE demographics probably don't either

But female athletes are complaining a lot about money. With the possible exception being Caitlyn Clark (oh the irony )

I think some players believe the hate towards Caitlin by might actually be good for the sport as well, and you might see that as a motivator for some of their behavior

Obviously they can’t bitch if they get less viewership or $ because of this decision (I doubt it will be significant $ wise for them — the individual players I mean)

At the end of the day, Team USA clearly prioritized fielding the most competitive roster over viewership, and I respect that personally

[skoda]

She's not pregnant? I thought she was expecting?

Brittney Griner, meanwhile, was selected to the Team USA team this weekend, while Clark was snubbed.

You might be my man bitch if you're lucky.
But only if you're obedient from here on out.

I wonder if Brittany will stand or kneel for the playing of the National Anthem if the Americans win..... Maybe she will carry the American flag in at opening ceremony. Nothing against her she is an American, the land of the free.........

The Olympics I remember as a kid no longer exist. It’s become a total joke like so many things in this country.

Grinder is a man. Grinder shouldn't be in that league playing with women.
