Caitlin Clark left off USA Women’s Basketball Olympic roster: was this disrespectful? | WNBA | SPEAK

Speak

[SS-xvsz]

Because of this, I just learned that the USA women's basketball team has won seven consecutive gold medals.

[Kevin.Costner.]

Before watching we know what Joy’s gonna say😅

[leechrec]

"Men are thinking business, women are thinking emotional".

[NoVisionGuy]

I'm from the Philippines, I watch the NBA and didn't know anything about WNBA until Caitlin Clark. She had an impressive college career; the organization is making a mistake not taking the opportunity to capitalize Clark's popularity right now.

[LG-mjns]

Isn't Joy the one that always says that this is a business and entertainment 😂

[GilbertmyGoat]

Joy act like the WNBA has been a hot commodity for years 😂

[KenG]

One minute Joy was saying they only bring the 12 best players and the next minute she says this is not about the best 12 players it’s about creating a team 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 makes no sense

[ajmontesa]

Diana Taurasi had slightly worse results, as a rookie in 2004, and was selected for the Olympic team. The argument is thin to say she doesn’t belong on the team. If they REALLY picked the “best” twelve players, four or five of those ladies wouldn’t have made that team.

[onterrioagnew]

Disrespectful = No
Dumb decision = yes

[rickpcp]

Its so odd how women hate on other women and keep em down even-though it would help their league and expanding the brand.

[alexandertsassong]

If it was a talk about Reese, some of them would have a COMPLETE different argument

[geoffwheeler]

I don't want to hear one more word about the women's game not getting the same marketing opportunities that the men do, I don't want to hear anything more about low salaries.

[DarrelWashingtonJr]

This the first time the WNBA ever had a box office type of player and they don't know what to do with it 😂😂😂

[gbakera]

Not disrespectful, just financially negligent.

[derrickrohlik]

Then how does a player who hasnt played ALL SEASON make the team!

[cooljohn]

LeSean McCoy cooked this session. He made the best points and no one could not him off his square. Well done Shady!

[gerardmartins]

Catlins numbers are better than Diana. Brittney has only played one game, still injured. Chelsea Gray injured, hasn't played a game this season. 12 best, yeah right.

[ayo_pagipopo]

I don’t ever wanna hear women in sports complain about pay.

[brettt]

Womens Olympic team has won 7 straight golds and no one cared. Gold wont change anything for these women.

[chacalateeplays]

I’m frustrated by people constantly asserting that she will have a long career and play in the Olympics, as if it’s a certainty. In sports, nothing is guaranteed. A career-ending injury could happen at any moment, just like it did for Greg Oden. I find it difficult to keep listening to these unrealistic expectations.
