Caitlin Clark has transformed the WNBA with attendance records in each city and amazing TV ratings. Suddenly, without being a championship contender, the Indiana Fever are the favorite team for fans nationwide.
That’s why, Clark was a top candidate to play in the 2024 Olympics with veteran stars of the WNBA. However, she is out of Team USA and a report from Christine Brennan produced a scandal.
“Two other sources, both long-time U.S. basketball veterans with decades of experience in the women’s game, told USA TODAY Sports that concern over how Clark’s millions of fans would react to what would likely be limited playing time on a stacked roster was a factor in the decision making. If true, that would be an extraordinary admission of the tension that this multi-million-dollar sensation, has caused for the old guard of women’s basketball.”
The decision was difficult to understand. If the NBA will send names like LeBron James and Stephen Curry, women’s basketball could have taken advantage of a similar opportunity.
