    In both foresight and hindsight, do you believe the WNBA messed up big time by snubbing Caitlin Clark off the 2024 Olympic Team?

    • @sebulller
      @sebulller Před 22 dny +20

      I think they should have chosen a better roster all together. Look at the Feever players now they are killing it! But that is the hindsight perspective.
      Forsight. I think they should still have a better roster than they had. Diana Taurasi is frankly to old... she is 41-42years of age?
      Caitlin Clark is good but I really do not know if that is the best. But she had an audience it is stupid not to take advantage of it! that is the mind boggling part.
      So if they USA team lost at OL hell would be loose.
      I think to answer your question they messed up big time.

    • @sebulller
      @sebulller Před 22 dny +2

      an another point i have to make is this.
      By not taking clark and ditch atleast a few others and take some good players. Than they could do both.
      Win gold and get more money! in one fell swoop.
      But I do not think it is pride or jealous. I think this is just politicks at its very finest. If i take you and we do this and that and whatever. We get more of other stuff.
      So my question is how much was the prize money? Because that is what no one talks about.
      So the USA team won gold. Good for them. But how much did they get paied each for doing so? Now the raitings remark makes alot of sense if they got paied big.

That's why Indiana picked her first. Now they are probably going to the playoffs. There was a flurry of discussion about the rookie of the year honors.
      Forget that. Caitlin is the MVP. Why did the best selected players of the WUSA lose to the remaining All Stars? They choked! They beat France by one point. They NEEDED Caitlin Clark...

    Look it’s basic business principles. CC puts backsides on seats, those seats generate revenue. CC also generates huge monetary turnover in merchandising. She’s a walking talking money spinner. The fact that she will probably be a generational talent is just the cherry on top. The WNBA is largely missing a plum business opportunity that any other industry would be directly tapping in to. It’s just poor business management, nothing more, nothing less. It’s simple business management, not rocket science.

    Arike Ogunbowale and Caitlin Clark were both snubbed. Both of them should have been on the team before Taurasi and Young. Easily. Only reason Taruasi was even on the team was because she is near retirement. Clark has better stats than her in every single category. The bias of not putting Arike and Caitlin on the team were the exact reason I didn't watch a single second of it. And I loved the fact that Team USA lost to the WNBA All-Stars headlined by Ogunbowale and Clark. Definitely poetic justice.

So making an argument that someone would have been better than CC doesn't hold water when that clearly wasn't their chief concern. How does DT get there then?
      It is nice that she got her 6th gold medal. CC and Reece would have attracted more attention and maybe helped attract new international fans to the sport. Helping the sport overall seems like a better benefit than adding a 6th gold to DT's list of accolades. And it seems very very unlikely that either CC or Reece would have in anyway prevented them from getting a gold medal anymore than the players at the bottom of the roster did already.
