Caitlin Clark Snubbed From USA Basketball? | The Valenti Show with Rico

How much do you really care about Caitlin Clark being snubbed from USA Basketball? #usa #basketball

I think the issue is that companies like ESPN are forcing topics that are pointless just to rile people up. Its similar to how every other news station in this country gets people all pissed off over dumb political nonsense that means nothing. Sports media is so bad, nobody actually talks about the damn sports anymore, its all hot topic BS and I'm sick of it.

[DB-xppx]

for once i'm in complete agreement w/ Mike. corporate america needs to stop telling us what to care about which is essentially what they're doing by giving it coverage that's completely out of sync w/ the interest level out there.

She is not playing good. There is you answer. End of discussion.

[joebemister]

Contrarian... but more relevant, lower income perspective. This could be the sports game that lower income patrons could actually participate in. Couldn't agree more that sports aren't for the common man anymore. They should start vying for the common person, because lord knows I can't afford any of these major games anymore.

Why is this news? Does anyone know how the team is constructed? Can anyone without the help of Google name 4 people on the team? This team has won 7 straight golds In blowout fashion.

It’s such a non issue. The team was constructed with more veterans, and Clark needs a break. She’s going on back to back seasons without rest, fatigue eventually takes over

[DHard-mcuw]

She shoots like 30 percent from the field and turns the ball over close to 6 times a game. Give her a few years to get acclimated and her time will come.

Mike week ago hatchet was speaking as if he has been watching wnba. So how hard would it be to find a watcher?

[Lcky]

Valenti acting like he has voters to acquire.

[Fideen]

I don't even think they subsidize the league anymore I think it's just failing on its own

[CrocodileTears]

Kinda comical on two points here - Mike wants to watch OTA coverage? At least these games are playing for something versus walking through some two hand touch. Also, you were just crying about the cost of events and being priced out just the other day, but now the WNBA doesn’t have 20k spike Lee seats and that’s a problem?

[HuskyWolf]

WNBA needs a makeover...maybe 3 on 3 street ball

[mattr]

Valenti is so off the mark on this topic. Not on the fact that the WNBA as a whole is a bad product, but Caitlin Clark is the biggest star in sports right now and the WNBA is doing everything they can to ruin what could be the best thing to ever happen for their league, all because of jealousy.

[ndon]

The deeper issue is how woke the vast majority of corporations, media and society has become.

When it comes to being entertaining on the court, the WNBA simply isn’t a good product - their lack of ratings and profit proves that. Then the league’s small and select group of players that get to have a voice are beyond entitled, petty and delusional when it comes to pay and business sense. Lastly, because women empowerment and equality can be associated with the WNBA it gets forced upon everyone despite 90%+ of actual sports fans not caring at all about the league.

Mike is 100% correct in that entertainment topics like this that inevitably get tied to “social issues or causes” need to stop getting forced upon us if we’re not authentically interested.
