Caitlin Clark who owns all the major collegiate scoring records in history and led the NCAA in assists her final year, was not selected for the Olympic team.
Caitlin Clark’s problem is twofold—she’s white and she isn’t queer.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
The five foolish women who excluded Caitlin Clark from the 2024 Olympics will remain unnamed in this article.
The USA women’s basketball selection committee released an official statement in June, several days after the media reported that they had excluded the most dynamic and popular female athlete in the world today—Caitlin Clark—from their Olympic team.
The league broke the news after Caitlin Clark drained seven 3-point shots, scored 30 points, led in assists, and filled a 20,000-seat arena in Washington, DC, the night before the news broke. Clark put on a clinic.
But it was not enough for these angry, bitter women
of color (and likely all queer) to put Clark
on the Olympic team where she belonged.
As the world waited to watch Caitlin Clark play in the Paris Olympics, the WNBA brass gave the U.S. and the world the middle finger.
The WNBA said nothing about the decision. The league did nothing to defend the most popular player in its history.
These women cannot publicly admit why they banned Caitlin from the Olympics. At first, they insisted that Caitlin did not have the experience and talent of these other women.
Then, that lie was exposed quickly. At the time their decision was made:
- Caitlin Clark led the league in 3-point shots.
- Caitlin Clark was in the top 8 in the league in scoring.
- Caitlin Clark was in the top 3 in the league in assists.
Caitlin Clark’s stats are better than most of the other women selected for the team.
Clark is one of only three WNBA players who ranks in the top 20 in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks per game.
Catilin Clark’s current stats put her above every single guard selected for the Olympic team.
And Caitlin Clark is the 4th most popular athlete in the world today behind only LeBron James, Tiger Woods, and Steph Curry.

In the first day of women’s basketball at the Olympics the U.S. women’s team drew the smallest crowd by a wide margin. The U.S. women led by their angry Caitlin-hatin’ coach Cheryl Reeve drew only 13,500 fans for their game.
The U.S. women's basketball team drew the smallest crowd among the opening games at the Olympics. Who could've seen this coming after USA Basketball decided not to take Caitlin Clark to Paris?

And now the team is struggling to sell tickets for the Sunday game. Without Caitlin Clark, putting butts in fan’s seats is difficult at best.
The New York Post reported:
The Caitlin Clark-less USA women’s basketball team is having trouble drawing the crowds you’d expect during the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
[T]ickets for the USA vs. Germany game set for Aug. 4 are being sold in a ‘special offer’ for just 24 Euros per ticket with no assigned seating.
This means anyone can grab front-row seats for the game beginning at 11:15 a.m. ET.
Meanwhile, if it’s butts in seats watching women’s basketball you want to see:
Final thoughts: Perhaps the best part of this story, Caitlin Clark—the only one to have reason enough to be bitter about not being selected for the Women’s Olympic Basketball Team—is not bitter, rather she is demonstrating true professionalism.
I’m confident this is making the five unnamed bitter things pictured above even more bitter. Ain’t Karma a real bitch?
