Caitlin Clark won’t be playing basketball on the U.S. women team at the Olympic Games

Bad news! What a missed opportunity!

Maybe we will learn more about how this decision was arrived at? And whether political and/or ideological reasons are to blame!

"The women’s basketball phenom and America’s leading sports media content machine has been left off the U.S. roster for the Summer Olympics in Paris. Columnist Jason Gay writes that the move is a comical blunder of industrial self-sabotage—but also not that surprising. Here was a low-risk opportunity to add a talented, already-on-the-roster-bubble rookie who would introduce a massive wave of new fans to the Olympic theater, he writes. Clark’s inclusion would have lifted attention around the U.S. team in an extremely crowded Olympic calendar, he adds."
