Caitlin Clark was interrupted on the United States Olympic list last year, which caused many debates.
Of course, Clark had been in the WNBA for a few months, but she had already proven why she was the n ° 1 choice of the new record campaign at the University of Iowa.
Alas, she was left out, and apparently, she “never had the opportunity”.

“The powers in place in the female game did not want a Caitlin Clark in their team. No matter how well she was playing, and no matter how much the basketball experts were not only better daily The Revolution in Women’s Sports”, which was published on Tuesday.
Why not? Well, maybe for two reasons.
Brennan had pointed out this year, “which had no meaning at the time”, but reiterated in his book that the United States basketball officials had growing concerns about how Clark fans would react to her who could have received a limited playing time on what would undoubtedly have the best team she ever had.
However, Brennan said Clark was actually fighting with disadvantage, as a place was officially left open to Diana Taurasi.

The manager of the WNBA thinks that players have no idea
Taurasi “was going to receive a farewell present by USA Basketball” – a sixth record Olympic head, “unless it was completely injured and could not play.”
“It meant that 11 places, not 12 years old, were open and available. Taurasi was a lock … And, frankly, she would even go if she was a little injured and could only play with sparing.
The team barely missed Clark when they won gold in Paris. Clark was offered a place in team 3 against 3 but refused.
Clark said last year, she didn’t want to be in Paris for her popularity, while saying that her snob “would certainly motivate my whole career”.

“I don’t want to be there because I’m someone who can draw attention,” said Clark. “I love it for the game of female basketball. But at the same time, I want to be there because they think I’m good enough. I don’t want to be a little person who is somehow dragged so that people can encourage him and look only because I am sitting on the bench. All this story had been upset. Because it is not just. It’s disrespectful for people who were really well.
