On Saturday, it was announced that women’s basketball sensation Caitlin Clark would not be included on the US Women’s Basketball team in the 2024 Olympics.
The greatest collegiate player in history, who broke nearly every men’s and women’s basketball scoring and assist records while at the University of Iowa, was excluded from the Olympic team.
Pot-smoking Brittney Griner, who has only played in one game and scored 11 points this year, made the team.
41-year-old Diana Taurasi made the team again. She has already participated in FIVE Olympic Games.
NO CURRENT PLAYER selected for this on the Olympic team has scored more 3-pointers this year in the WNBA than Caitlin Clark.
And only one woman on the Olympic team has more assists than Clark this WNBA Season.
Caitlin Clark is also in the top 8 in scoring.
Caitlin Clark is beating most of the selected players in most categories.
And NO ONE can consistently fill arenas like Caitlin Clark at home and away.
Earlier today JoeHoft.com identified the five women behind this insane and outrageous decision!
Caitlin Clark was asked about the Olympic Committee's decision and she showed nothing but class - as she always does.
This is just heartbreaking.
Clueless Reporter Chloe Peterson: Caitlin, what was your reaction when you saw the USA team yesterday, the roster come out?
Caitlin Clark: I think I'm excited for the girls that are on the team. I know it's the most competitive team in the world, and I know it could have gone either way. Me being on the team, me not being on the team. I'm excited for them. I'm going to be rooting them on to win gold. I was a kid that grew up watching the Olympics. So it'll be fun to watch them.
Chloe Peterson: What was your level of disappointment not hearing your name on the roster.
Caitlin Clark: Honestly, no disappointment. I think it just gives you something to work for. That's a dream. Hopefully, one day I can be there. I think it's just a little more motivation. You remember that. And hopefully in four years, when four years comes back around, I can be there.

When it comes to not making the Olympic team, Caitlin Clark has nothing but praise for the 12 who made it: “it’s the toughest team to make.”

Caitlin didn't deserve this. Americans don't deserve this.
