Brtiney Griner should not be on that team....PERIOD!!

How is she always under attack when she never says anything about anyone else.

If Caitlin clark's teammates could catch a pass or finish an open layup Clark would be averaging 10 assists per game.

Taurasi is a bit of a fossil, she started her narrative while commentating during March Madness. It seemed odd that Taurasi had such a stance on a young player, in retrospect it feels like she was building a narrative for CC to be left off. Really CC is not talking about it, these women should let it go. At this point I am actually happy CC is not on the olympic team, these women are toxic, it will be better for CC to go in as a leader the next go around and let this team do what ever they are going to do. It is sad that they all feel the need to bully a young player in the media, when that player is just trying to ball.

No. Britany Griner should NOT be on the team. She played one game. She has a broken toe. She carried illegal substances to Russia (illegal for the WNBA, too), was sentenced to 9 years in prison, US had a prisoner exchange to get her home. She said publically she would never stand for the anthem, and stayed in the locker room. She should be ineligible to represent team USA. Everyone knows Caitlyn deserved it for what she brought to the league. Plus a great opportunity for her to learn. But the Diana’s and A’jas are so jealous of a 22 year old rookies success that they cited 1) fan distraction, 2) WNBA schedule would have her miss a couple practices (remember Britney isn’t even playing) , 3) her fans won’t understand her limited playing, and 4) some other girls on the team didn’t want her. I kid you not. Those were THE reasons they actually used to justify keeping her off the team. In my opinion, you put her on, take Britney off, and replace anyone who has a problem with it - even the coach.

Taurasi is more interested in getting another gold medal than growing the sport, which is very selfish and short sighted.

Anger and jealousy

Taurasi's legacy will be how she held the league back .

Taurasi is too worried about her rookie records going down... As for the Olympic team, stat wise she is one of the top ten guards... Draw wise for viewing she is top dog.... Taurasi said the player have to gel and get along... in that case Clark definitely does not fit in with these jealous bitter women...

I’am not sorry 44 year old DT pushing 45, shouldn’t be on Team USA. 😂😂

Ole lady Taurasi has to say that because if they were going off best players she wouldn’t be close!!

i won't watch the WMBA or Olympics without catlin clark period .

Yeah, you know Brittany is a Dude!

I have never watched WNBA or the WNBA olympics until Caitlyn Clark came into the picture. Unfortunately I will not be watching WNBA olympics without Caitlyn Clark.

To the WNBA, a very old saying applies. "Money talks and BS walks"

The reason why the media is always asking these players and coaches about Clark is because they are hoping for a sound bite that will stir the pot so they get the views.

She was actually saying... We need to play as a team and that won't happen because we won't play with her

Chelsea Gray has not played a single game this year but she is on the Olympic team?

We finally see that the WNBA is basically the modern version of 1950s female roller derby with all the dirty play and cat-fighting. If Caitlin is smart she'll leave for Europe after this season and get away from this poison, that may also leave her with career-ending injuries. Then the WNBA will be back to the zero fan interest that they deserve.

Guys 7et is indiana vs mystics. Let's support caitlin

WE WANT PLAYERS WHO DON'T KNEEL TO OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM.

NOBODY watching the wnba AT ALL until Clark. How can she NOT be on the team. NBA STOP PAYING THE BILLS FOR BORING AZZ WNBA.

That's a capitol I not an L It's "I oh ness cue"

Britt-He GrindR: Man she has balls being on this team!!

Ol’ lady Tuarasi can’t ball with Cait

Its is pronounced Ionescu = I-owe-ne-scu John The Liquidator

Caitlin Clark is breathtaking and very fascinating to watch. Her demeanor speaks for it. She is very humble and professional. She is a great role model to the kids.

Big difference when the person you leave off the team is the NCAA Women's and Men's scoring records holder, and about 20 more records that she's broken...BIG DIFFERENCE!!! Not to mention the 2 million plus fans she has following her.

Caitlin clark is shooting terribly from the field, people dont talk about that.. she's nearly taking 13 shots per game and only making 4 of them.. the rest is just free throws,, she takes 8 3pts per game and only makes 2 out of the 8.. the fans doesn't matter to WNBA females they still get paid to win so they don't care about how much attraction she brings...

If you can't pronounce a players name you shouldn't use their quotes. Sabrina's last name starts with "I" not "L"

If vets took Diana under their wing, why isn’t she doing the same? SMH 🤦🏼‍♀️

You’re hearing something differently than me… No one said anything negative about Caitlin Clark…

The real deal is Diana knows in the end CC will be breaking all her records so she trying to tear her down fast before that happens. 😊

I didn't know there were other WNBA stars than Caitlin....

Media and content creators are completely to blame as they continually keep bringing up old shit. All the while CC sits back and says nothing

Didn't sound like Taurasi was throwing shade at all . She was asked a question, and she gave he perspective on the matter. The media is really pushing a narrative, and it seems the online internet media is doing the same unfortunately.

I love how cc builds people up and never says anything negative.

The only reason the other WNBA players keep commenting about Clark is because reporters keep asking them questions about her. It is getting exhausting at this point to keep seeing them try to push the same narrative down our throats.

Taurasi was a hasbeen years ago. She was better known in college. I had forgotten about her, honestly.

Griner should not be on a team for a country she hates.

Ms. Clark is putting food on the table and these woman just want to take her head off.

Dinosaurasi is being eclipsed by CC and is desperately trying to hang on to her relevance.

Loneski? Bro lol. it's an "i" not an "L" and it's pronounced "Ya-nes-kew". And from your last video, Lynx is not "Linux", it's pronounced "Links".

The part of this video where she was ignoring that reporter was priceless.

media is always the problem. players need to remain neutral like Caitlin and just play. as soon as the talk dies down the game will get more interesting and entertaining - but we all know this is how the media survives and thrives.😐

Taurasi was on the Olympic team, without international experience. On her first Olympics playing. So, other players without that experience should be added, too. A rule change needs to be made, by the Wnba. There are players in the Wnba who have higher free-throw averages. And, higher scoring averages, per attempts . Then players, on the team

She is Christ-like. She is a CHRIST BELIEVER. She is TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED. God has her. She is doing such a great job. She's not scared of people's evil ways. She is untouchable. She has GOD ON HER SIDE. SHE WILL BE BLESS GREATLY.

❤CC22

It's over she didn't make it ,move on.

Try to say Ionescu again, please. If you’re covering the league her name is worth knowing. Especially after her 3 point contest with Steph

These women that’s on the Olympics team have earn their place on the team. Caitlin have earn her way just like the other players have done.

Clark didn't deserve to make the US Olympic team despite the hundreds of thousands of white middle aged MAGA men who claim otherwise. If they stopped just a second to not worship their ringless deity they might realize Clark is actually mostly an inefficient turnover machine and not even the best player on her team, let alone top 20 in the league. Taurasi is superior even at 42 years old and always has been with multiple rings on every level, years of international success (including 6 Euroleague titles), and is an easy choice to make the team yet again in spite of the whining of casual Clark crybabies everywhere.

W needs to embrace attention, as W earned through CC, as part of the daily sports conversation nowadays

This is an old interview June 11 versus June 19 - are you sure you are not fanning flames needlessly by reheating the interview and implying that it is new?

You said it all... can't argue with anything you said

This new fan base is exciting thank you for growing the league that Caitlin is a box office attraction she’s smashing tv ratings and attendance records too bad she’s not representing our country in the Olympics ❤

The way you pronounce Sabrina’s last name has me hollering 🤣 😆

Cameron Brinks done for the season

Taurasi is a first generation college graduate. Her family is from Argentina. Catlin played in Argentina 🇦🇷, Hungary and Thailand while in High School. Nancy Libermann should know how this works.

I remember the Barclay situation and there was a lot of head scratching - it may not have been an international venture but it was big deal.

NO one in the media has mentioned the fact that Taurasi made the Olympic team her rookie year. It has also been the case, about 50/50 that the number one WNBA draft pick makes the Olympic team on an Olympic year. Also sir Charles did make the Dream Team for the 92 Olympic team. and Isiah was kept off by Jordan. Go do some research for crying out loud. Ask the Dang Google!!!

Tarazi Fulham BS you could tell from her face expressions her voice she’s nothing but hating on CC. Let’s keep it real.

Ionescu...say it with me Jon...(Eye-un-es-kuu) 😂😂😂

I would love to see Clark on the court the same time as Gray and Stewart. The chemistry would be amazing!

Love Caitlin C...but not everyone is against her or bitter towards her...Caitlin is and will continue to be a great player for years to come.

If these vets weren't asked about Catlin I don't think they would talk about her at all.

So either she’s saying they can’t play as a team with her because either A. They refuse to play nicely with her or B. They would rather take people they have played with before (this is the most generous interpretation I can make).

You reaching they ain't say nothing wrong.

Stop the hate the more you indite the more the fans unite Caitlin Clark blessings younglady ❤ keep doing your thang😊

Nah. This is a bs interpretation and just a drama post video. This commentary from Taurasi is 100% accurate and no shade at all. Which is in stark contrast from the previous garbage commentary she made about her own inclusion as a rookie and the "three championships" comment, which was absolutely shade and not even a good argument.

Diana Taurusi will be remembered more for her JEALOUSY than her immense accomplishments on the court.

Comparing Barkley or Isiah to Clarks effect on the Wnba is ridiculous. Cmon man, open your eyes

What a lot of people are forgetting is two things...1, CC is not that upset about it, she is taking it in stride. 2.Which leads to #1, CC has been playing and practicing since probably last Sept. She needs the time off and try to get set for her current job.... that is being a pro bballer.

Giving up on the best players narrative it is now the best fit. Well some people don't fit because they made sure to create enough negative energy to make them a bad fit. From: Top 12, plus legacy, plus experience, plus chemistry, plus can handle tough internationals, plus went to camp (that was scheduled during NCAA tournament). To: Best fit, plus legacy, plus experience, plus chemistry, plus can handle tough internationals, plus went to camp (that was scheduled during the NCAA tournament).

"The surge of interest in the WNBA is not about Caitlin Clark." The closest WNBA team to me is in Arlington. I could get tickets for their next home games for $16 (vs Minnesota), $16 (Phoenix), $20 (Atlanta, 4th of July weekend), or $21 (Los Angeles). Even tickets for the champs the last two years (Las Vegas) are an easy $30. Or, I could wait until the next time Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are in town. On a Wednesday in the middle of July. Cheapest available ticket: $105

CAITLIN CLARK BRING CLASS & INTEGRITY!

Diana didn’t say Caitlin wasn’t good enough, you must’ve wanted her to say that so bad, that’s what you heard. There’s a bunch of players good enough, that’s just who they chose. I’m glad a little that CC ain’t going this time. She’ll get there!!!

One of the things no one is mentioning is that CC has not complained about not making the team. That is why people like her. She is a class act.

Caitlin Clark is the only one NOT TALKING about it!

Damn this dude be breaking news. Great though and keep it up.

Those jealous vets must’ve said they wouldn’t play with Caitlin Clark.

If you do the 3 pts by % in stead of makes CC is 34th in the league.

She never says bad things about another player no matter what. This is jealousy.

There has been a lot of talk about CC not making the Olympic Team. I wonder if any the players who did make the list were worried if CC makes the list who has to sit on the sidelines and watch from the bleachers. One of the most important things that come to my mind with CC and proves that she is a player with class is that she has not spoken about not making the team. She is not the one complaining about hard knocks and negative remarks towards her. There are times when not reacting is what pisses the haters off more than anything. Her reaction is to continue to play hard and do what she does giving it her best, and not caving in.

The Fever should move heaven and earth to trade for Kate Martin. She could become a pivotal player operating along side CC....

It's nice she's not playing she could use a break. No one will watch without her playing.

It sounded like she was saying that Caitlin is not a team player and doesn’t belong on team USA.

I did like Sabrina comments

Wnba needs the press coverage. But not like the Olympics is burning up the ratings. So even the Olympics could've used the boost.

Taurasi's microphone quality reflects her salary

The committee already said "They didn't want the distraction." From a business standpoint it was awful. Your league sucks financially and you miss the opportunity to expose the world to something to market. Emotions....if you can't check them you are not mature or of sound mind.

If CC get selected for Team USA Olympics, I'll be looking out for her in the parade of nations...

The Wnba should step- in, next time, and change or make a new rule. If a player's current percentages scored, minutes and games played is higher this year, than the other players, last year, the new players should be added. McCowan and Siegrist, Dal, both have 55.3% and a 52.2% scoring average, per game. McBride, top for 3-pointers, and 91.5% average for free-throws Magrebor, Sea, 91.5% for free-throws The decision to add extra players was after 10 games played, I believe. Adding players that weren't playing for 10 games or more shows that the other two ,who weren't playing, were already selected. Before the season began. Because, the season wasn't counted at all, for players with minutes and 10 games played.

Arike knew the team was rigged that is why she pulled her name from the USA it ain't about the best just the politics.

Sabrina sounded genuine with her answer and not a bitch about it. Like Tarasi she showed respect also you were mispronouncing her name lol

Geno is a flip-flopper. He spoke the truth in his first interview and then his previous players got in his hide and straightened him right out. Really embarrassing for him and no balls 😂

Geno, stfu! You know damn well Caitlin Clark should be on that damn Team.

I think in the long run not being on the team this go around will help CC. Might give her an extra bit of motivation and more importantly give her some rest. She's been going non stop since the NCAA's.

There is precedence that Geno and others have forgotten…. Three of the four WNBA rookies since 1996 that were put Team USA were UConn players and they were not one of the 12 best on the team. The one not from UConn was Candace Parker who was later snubbed.. You watch the 96 team USA documentary and see how Lobo struggled. And Arike told one of the podcasts recently that she withdrew her name two months ago bcuz of the politics of that selection. Sadly, folks are fussing about the new fans they desperately need, not looking at this year as a business opportunity to grow the league and get more eyes on team USA.. The W leadership and its players both current and former will be who folks will place blame to when the dust settles and the revenues flatten back down to previous years. This rookie class is a part of your league and they are bringing their fans from college with them. And this league has done nothing to prepare for it and to embrace it. Especially the players. You don’t see the drama around Wemby in the NBA like you seeing here. That’s because David Stern groomed Adam Silver to run the NBA as a business and entertainment entity and not base it on merit, feelings, and rookie hazing.. And if this league and women supporters don’t think men should be telling their stories or how to run their business, then tap into the best and brightest businesswomen for guidance. Nobody is talking about that. You can Google the top businesswomen in this country and find them…. But there is an underlying problem here that is one or all of the things that have been said over the last several weeks. Who is going to woman enough to put ego and pride aside to acknowledge it and then fix it????

Just an informational note: Sabrina Ionescu is pronounced (phonetically) Sah-breena Ee-oh-nes-cue. :)
