Message: [QUOTE="meyers7, post: 5025903, member: 343"] Specifically your two statements: "No one on the present team has done more for Women's Basketball as a hole than Caitlin Clark!" I think that is very disrespectful to a lot of players. While Clark is very good, and I think will be an All-Star/Olympian over time, right now as the WBB savior, she is kind of right place, right time. (and being white doesn't hurt - shouldn't matter, but it does). DT has helped the WNT win 5 Gold Medals. Clark hasn't even practiced with them yet. And this isn't about WBB, it's about the USA WNT/Olympic team winning a gold medal. If "WBB fans" (and I use that term extremely loosely, because they are NOT, they are just Clark fans) was what the Olympic was about (gaining WBB fans), then just put Taylor Swift on the team, or have her date one of the players. You'd get a lot more eyes that way. "The fan uproar at leaving Clark off this team will hopefully turn that tide." Extremely wrong. I do hope fan uproar is NEVER a deciding factor on who makes a USA Olympic team. THAT is RIDICULOUS. (ok, so maybe there was a little "angry" in there ) (nothing personally, just your statements. Hope that answers your question. ) [/QUOTE]
