I don't even watch the welfarenba before until I've seen Caitlin Clark play, with love from the Philippines ❤❤❤

That's why we start watching NCAA women basketball and now WNBA because of Caitlin Clark #22 ❤🏀 from the Philippines 🇵🇭

Women’s Basketball needs Caitlin Clark more than she needs Women’s Basketball, nobody will wake up at 3am to watch women play basketball, people will wake up at 3am to watch Caitlin Clark.

Every name listed below were part of the 1984 Women's Olympic Gold Medal winning team and all of them were still in college. Nobody remembers this team, as a matter of fact no one remembers any of the women's national teams to win medals in the Olympics, but they sure as hell remember all of the men's teams that have won medals. Up until 1992 the US Olympic committee never allowed professional athletes to compete in the Olympics. They were all college players or amature athletes. For those of you who don't know an amature athlete is someone who never got paid to play professional sports. Cathy Boswell Denise Curry Anne Donovan Teresa Edwards Lea Henry Janice Lawrence Pamela McGee Carol Menken-Schaudt Cheryl Miller Kim Mulkey Cindy Noble Lynette Woodard

Christian Laettner was not anywhere near the level of his NBA teammates when he was selected for the 1992 Olympic team. Caitlin is much closer in caliber if not equal to the level of the pro women who will be joining. I agree with the comment that you have women in their late thirties and early forties who have had their turn and are just around for nostalgia. Cailtin has more than the talent to be chosen but there are a million marketing reasons why she will be chosen. I expect she will start the season strong but it will be interesting if other teams go overboard in trying to keep her performance down. Lastly, she could easily be the leader in assists as season end, and with the Olympic team. She is not one dimensional.

I think some people have the concept of participation in the Olympics twisted. It's not about the feelings of individual players. It's about a team that can best represent the United States of America. It should be the very best players available. If that includes Caitlin Clark, then so be it. I'll admit that I wasn't a really talented basketball player when I was a kid. It would have been pretty ridiculous if I was chosen over a better athlete, just because the coach was trying to be fair. It's hard for me to believe, that Caitlin Clark doesn't have the talent and ability to make the team.

Yeah it used to be Olympics was known for amateur athletes. Since the Dream Team, Olympic basketball has become synonymous to NBA/pro players. So for someone to say that these pro athletes is the status quo should go back further to the history of the Olympics.

The commercial sponsors want CC on the team. Enough said. A lot & I mean a lot more eyes would watch Olympic women's basketball if CC is on the team. As with almost everything in the news, follow the $$.

Has anyone ever made exceptions before.. If its "NO" then let her go play for the English.

When a player has broken as many records as Caitlin Clark has broken, it would either be insanity or racism that would keep her off the Olympic team.

Let them try not to put Caitlin Clark in the line up,let those so-called greats play,we'll see the results

Absolute crock…no Caitlin on the Olympic team, then I won’t be watching the Olympic team….

the world doesn't know non of the women but we know who CC is its not about race religion or beliefs she is a talented athlete an incredible performer that is what sports is all about

Those making the decision will be pilloried if she's not on Team USA. She is the Needle right now for Women's basketball.

Caitlin will bring in the ratings. If they want people to watch The women's basketball team they will have Caitlin Clark there. Nobody cares about women's basketball after college. She is good for the sport and all those old players need to get out of there.

When the Olympic committee looks at her WNBA start .The first thing they will look at is ticket sales.Always remember its all about the money v the product you are marketing.right now she is averaging 11000 more tickets sold in her appearances . How much is an Olympic ticket?after you do the math it looks like they have no choice but to put her on the team.

The Olympics were ruined the minute they let professionals play in them. It used to be all about amateur sports. The teams were made up of the best of the best. Drug testing was strong, hormone testing was mandatory just so much stricter then now. It's just a competition for corporate sponsors nothing more.

she is all ready in usa team she participate representing usa all ready know she is going to be move for sure

It’s usually best to field the best possible line up for any sport. If the objective is to win. No matter who or where they come from. I think the important of the Olympics has deteriorated over the years. It’s not as prestigious as it once was. Really only matters to the people particularly in them. In the United States it’s seems anyway.

You ask why not let one of the most popular players be on the Olympic team? The question should be why should there be exceptions for her. She has not proven herself in the least. Losing the Finals twice is not an achievement to brag about. Missing a clutch shot in her first WNBA preseason game is nothing to brag about. She chokes under pressure. Her own WNBA coach says that she doesn't like the way she was coached as a collegiate player and has things to unlearn. She lacks stamina and depends to much on a 3 point shot and stands around waiting for people to give her the ball instead of making plays. The reason not to let her on the team is because popularity doesn't win the game and winning is the actual goal.

This man has 14 KZread paged😂😂

How about this for fair? You put the best players on the team...period. Diane Taurasi has been a great player for years ,but truth be told,she is a shell of that player who's biggest skill now is berating officials and pretending to play "D". Jenn Rizzotti is a former U Conn PG and Taurasi is a U Conn legend...what do you think she will do? It will just be another example of women's basketball making decisions that are against their own best interests. I hope NBC tells them the viewers want to see CC not some 40 year old has beens.
