RESENTMENT? JEALOUSY? 🤔 Greeny's torn by Caitlin Clark's omission from Team USA | #Greeny

On #Greeny, Mike Greenberg and Paul Hembekides debate whether it's the right call for USA Basketball to leave off Indiana Fever rookie phenom Caitlin Clark from the national team roster ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

only thing i don´t get is if team usa is so dominant then why aren´t they including 2, 3 young players to have them experience that competition while learning from the vets .

[oroichi]

the funny thing is diana, the 42 year old, joined the women's olympic team as a rookie....so its crazy to say....oh Cc is a rookie so she shouldn't join the olympic team

[dgkendall]

I would rather watch Caitlin practice in her driveway than watch an Olympic woman’s game

[markhansen]

Don’t forget the TeamUSA head coach when looking at who didn’t want CC on the team. She said as much.

[brettcdalton]

Caitlin Clark transcends her sport in a way that few other athletes have. You want her involved in all things. She brings the thing.

[closequarters]

If CC is taking someone’s opportunity away so is DT. And DT already has what, 5-6 gold medals? She needs to pass the baton. If anyone is being selfish, it’s her. She’s not only taking a spot away and not helping grow the sport.

I became a Kobe fan that’s why I watch NBA now
I became Tom Brady fan that’s why I watch NFL now
Even I don’t watch golf, Tiger is the only reason I pay attention to golf
Same for David Beckham and etc

And this is the reason fans fall in love with sports, first they pay attention to that particular player then falls in love with the sport and supports them. There are many players in WNBA awesome, amazing basketball players but sometimes there is just someone truly special thats CC! And you don’t put that person to your Olympics team? I’m sure CC use this feeling and get even better.

How many of them girls on the Olympics team broke Pistol Pete's all time scoring in college. She is very much Qualified and really loves USA.

[taylenzz]

Plus, why is Chelsea Gray, who’s recovering from a broken leg, prioritizing the Olympics over being fully ready to go back to work for her employer?!?!?!?

[clemguerrero]

What I hate to hear is Caitlin Clarke isn't one of the top 12 players....well neither is Taurasi, Griner(1 game)....

[joeykremple]

I’m old and have never had interest in wbb until Caitlin caught my eye. Now I love the game, thanks to her. She’s just different. People are drawn to her

[thomasp]

The committee does not want the backlash from the veterans and frankly the entire league for putting CC on the squad. The league/players resent CC getting the endorsements and the TV coverage.

[stefanusfoe]

Caitlin is NOT a bad player and the team USA will benefit alot by bringing her to the olympics!! Even south east asians are now watching the wnba because of her!! And what they said about picking the team for winning instead of marketing thats totally BS!! She can play and she WILL play better than some of the players they picked!!

[getupmydarling]

Greeny has a fear of backlash to tell the truth, which is bring up the real numbers. She’s better than DT right now and others on the roster

[ahhnuld]

Clark being on Team USA will grow the game more than any other person on the roster.

[rogerbeck]

Greeny your cohost nail it in context!!!! There is absolutely no reason for them to exclude Caitlin Clark on the Olympian team. Caitlin Clark has set rookies records... but they'll put a 42-year-old

Nobody have asked for nobody to kiss CCs feet…people are asking for these crazy women to be clean, play hard against her, in all fair play and sportsmanship. Also recognize her value, say hey we have been fighting for this attention for so long, thanks CC for finally taking us where we have been trying to get…hey I just want to meet her and see what’s behind the beautiful smile, the trash talk in the court and the logo threes, with the passing skills, and we hope it will get us to better place, with better pay and opportunities for all of us…we want her to know though, that we won’t make it any easy on her…but she amazing, has done amazing things for the sport and at college level. We have to consider her one of the best to ever play at college level, ring, no ring..because it’s a team sport, but as individual athlete she accomplished more than any other women, and she broke men’s records too, she is a great conversation piece for us..We can tell curry, hey you won the three point competition against Sabrina, but one of us already broke your record from college more 3s in a season, and she scores for as far as you do…hey MJ you are amazing, the greatest, but look one of us put up a 40 points triple double in D1 tournament, you never did, nor did KD, DW, LB…with pride they could do that…in all good spirits. But instead, reality s coming, well is not just her, we were here first, and there was Rebecca, Moore, DT, SS, CP, all of them, which is true, but people did not care …
And if you pay attention, CC has but kind words of admiration for all those players, she and her family have been supporters of the league for years, she would ask to be taken to games..And I get it, some people thought she would fly through the league like a storm. But not her, she was always candid and realistic of the adaptation process. She is not the one putting herself in every wnba marketing video of the draft…it was your own league trying to help U..all..trying to help U where you wanted to go…sometimes that’s what it takes, (watch the last dance and you will see MJ say at times he hopes his teammates would understand that some of the things he told them at a given moment, he considered at that time necessary in order to achieve their common goal) but CC it’s not at fault for it. She just wanted to play and follow her dreams, which by the way, some she shares with all of the league players…none of these players looked at this big picture with positive energy. Since the beginning it has been resentment, warnings..we all saw what Carter did, we all saw Angel Reese celebrate the attack. The rage..does not allowed for them to think..she could have been paralyzed with a broken neck, because of the whiplash given the force of the hit..and the surprise, like being rear ended while waiting for a green light in traffic. ..when I saw Arike Ogunbowale embrace CC at the end of the first preseason game fever vs wins..I was hopeful…I watch Breanna S and other player of the liberty, jokingly surrounding Clark as in we are going to double team you and you will go nowhere…and I was hopeful…but instead we got Carter, and Reese, and then Lloyd, who could have said hey we have had crowds similar to this at some point, but never something like this in the first few games of the season, and yeah you are right (to the journalist) its thanks to the rookie class popularity, specially CC..we are happy to see the arena like this and the atmosphere, amazing, and we appreciate it ( that’s class, sportsmanship, honor where honor is due) it wouldn’t hurt anyone..pettiness and jealousy does hurt..sickness the soul…instead Lloyd said, ooh yeah yeah, we are used to play in front of crowds like this… and the journalist had to tell her, no I am sorry, but you are not…there were 10 K people in that Seattle arena, above the average attendance…how do you expect people to react to that…let’s be honest ..

All I know is that I’m going to be 50 years old this year, and I never saw a WNBA game until Caitlin Clark showed up. And I’m not a Caucasian guy neither. If the players want to grow their income from beyond $250, 000 a year in top tier salary, they need people like me to be interested in filling seats, purchasing fan gear, and watching games on tv. Without marketing the product, you don’t get to the endgame of the desired outcome. The women need to stop being jealous of their own and don’t kill the goose who is laying the golden egg for them.

[MMBeing]

Its amazing these guys at ESPN have multi-million dollar contracts for what they do....

[dcinpa]

At least Gretzky always had an enforcer on his team to protect him. Caitlin doesn't even have the support of her own teammates and coaching staff.
