Diana Taurasi Just Sabotaged Team USA in the Olympics and Caitlin Clark Fans Are Outraged

[@philip6927]

Taurasi wants to get her participation award.

[@zikemdg]

Its all about the old guard in the WNBA.

[@Paul-tc5nr]

Yes,the old guard who never generated a profit, relied on subsidies from the NBA,you've really got to ask what was the WNBA before CC.

worst business decision in the history of sports.

[@projoebiochem]

She’s 42. Everyone loses a step. We all knew that not picking CC lowered both the talent level and the playmaking of the Team USA roster. Results have shown that the fans were right.

[@ScotNation1987]

Dianiasours Tarasi is only one the team so she can have more medals than Sue Bird. She shouldn’t have been on the team they said one of the reasons she was left off the team was because she wasn’t one of the best 12 players in the league well either is miss Dianiasours

[@danielhoward8354]

Actually seeing Diana under perform is making me happy. Had Caitlynn been on the team Diana would have a better game period.

[@toxicginger9936]

Caitlynn wasn't excluded. She wasnt eligible to try out for the team. She was still in college when players were trying out for the national team.

I'm impressed by the Fever's improvements over the last couple of months. Kelsey is assisting, Boston is catching CC's passes. The other Fever players are stepping up their game, due to CC's influence. If Sides would get fired and they got a new coach, the Fever could be playoff contenders.

[@matthewhuszarik4173]

Not! Jordan went out on top Taurasi has held on about half a decade to long. She should have never been on the Olympic Team. Nostalgia is for the All Star Game. The US team is an example why the WNBA has never been successful. They cater to a damn bunch of Primadonnas who can no longer back up their arrogance with their on court play.

[@donkeytime1704]

Looking back at the US Team vs WNBA Allstars game should have been a deciding game to represent our country. Battle of the Allstars vs Allstars for who wins the determined outcome to be Team USA. If it's about the best that the US has to offer, then they missed it based on that alone. If Diana Taurasi is such a legund or goat, why am I just finally hearing about it over the last few months? This woman and all of the other women of the sport are finally getting the attention they always wanted, never before on any other stage got what they're getting today. I was addicted to watching the NBA back in the 90's and 2000's and their was only Sue Bird that I heard about. She was the only lady that I could recognize from her era with star power.

[@wayneyosh1]

She should have stepped down and let Caitlin take her place.

[@terryotoole6478]

Calling her a legacy is the reson this narcissistic lesbian will not leave ...

[@wayneyosh1]

Taurasi would be great in the Senior Olympic Games. The Olympics is supposed to feature the best in their prime.

[@safromnc8616]

No, its not a surprise - there are several players well past it or coming off injury that shouldn't be in Paris.

[@Paul-tc5nr]

Taurasi has never done what CC has i. e. bring in revenue, saying that neither has the WNBA in total before CC.

[@ScottCurry-ze2ei]

Any USA women’s basketball team member to step aside for Catlyn Clarke would be remembered long afterward 2024 Olympics. USA to gold.

[@DP-8964]

[@FrankLohr-zw9ey]

[@safromnc8616]

Same thing the USWNT chose to do in the World Cup and look at the (much younger team) now...

[@leom5453]

jealousy is a complex emotion

[@ShortBulChris]

I think the most under appreciated thing about the dream team is the amount of fandom that team created. The BIGGEST names in the growing game of basketball were all on that team. It was an event pretty much every time they were outside in the community during the Olympics doing anything. The fact that the Olympic committee didn’t think CC and even Angel could have that sort of impact is just disappointing. 2028 with Juju & Paige hopefully is gonna be special

[@alfredb.a.]

Just imagine if Taurasi retires after this WNBA season and goes on to be part of the committee. Caitlin will be held back A LOT, especially with Paige coming into the league. Taurasi will make sure only people she likes get on that team

[@parasockz9458]

We have to be honest, you can't simply replace DT with CC. If you did, CC would have to play against new competition without supportive teammates. To succeed, the team would have to be made up of players who aren't part of the Mean Girls club.

[@sonnydtran5397]

If Taurasi have respect for the game, she'd bow out. Maybe they'd have a smaller medal for player that contribute less

[@AlexMoonrize]

Pettiness, jealousy, hatred, and racism period.

[@ScotNation1987]

Yes I miss watching anything CC. To me she is the most exciting player in sports today. I think for one is the drama around her and how she handles it like all these people talk all this shit about her like woman in the game and they are hating on her because of what other people say about her and how much they love her. But she doesn’t say anything negative and her personality is simply amazing and she lets her game speak for itself. Like I started loving this girl her Jr year witch is arguably her best season in college but the more these woman hate on her the more I want her to dominate them. And truthfully the first wnba game I watched was the women’s all star game in witch I wanted the all stars to whip there ass I actually watched the whole all star weekend and fell in love with 2 other players witch is Alisha Gray who just was so modest and just down to earth her interviews were amazing. Then I watched the game and CC dropped 10 dimes and Ogumbawale(I’m not sure if I spelled that right but I know how to say it) was simply amazing that woman was hitting everything and had the biggest smile. But I have watched a lot of women’s basketball on my life and that started with Uconn when they had Maya Moore and Tina Charles and Renee Montgomery and I loved those girls they were unstoppable a true juggernaut. But I’m gonna start watching some wnba mainly CC who is my favorite but I have others I wanna watch

[@marike1100]

A good parallel is the USWNT Soccer. Instead of fielding the obviously great Alex Morgan, the new coach is allowing the young talent of Sophia Smith, Tiffany Rodman and Mallory Swanson to shine. And guess what, each player has 3 goals and Team USA is in the Gold Medal game. Just say no to past their prime legacy players like Taurasi stinking up the court and depriving younger talent like Clark a chance to shine.

[@cekemppa4044]

35 minutes in 3 games is not significant minutes. Her stats are proving she is no longer the impact player she once was. Time catches everyone. I wish we could get back to a time where politics was less of a factor in sports.

What a load of BS clickbait pandering to Caitlyn Stans. Caitlyn is a ROOKIE. She wasn't excluded from the USA team, she wasn't available since she was still in college when they were having training camp for the US team in *February*. She hadn't remotely proved herself on a professional court when the team was finalised in *April*. Even LeBron had a full pro season of experience before he was selected for the Olympic team. She's a phenominal rookie... but a rookie none the less. Going up against the worlds best players, you want the players with experience on that level.
