How USA Basketball "Set The Game Back" By Snubbing Caitlin Clark | TICKET & THE TRUTH

[@user-ng4nn4zw6r]

I understand that some Black folks, like a couple of my siblings, feel as if they are "traitors to the race" if they don't big-up Angel Reese when Caitlin praises go up. Stop it! This charity praise for Angel is ridiculous. Angel is not there yet. Even the championship title game won by LSU over Iowa was due to a reserve player who came off of LSU's bench and hit seven 3-pointers in a row - didn't miss one shot, to win the game. Yet, all of this talk about Angel and nobody even mentions the LSU player who actually contributed the most to win that game. Angel's antics outweigh her basketball playing talents. Angel wasn't even the star player on that LSU championship team. Even now, Kamilla Cardosa is a much better and more efficient player than Angel, but it's Angel's antics that keep Angel being talked about more than Cardosa. Angel should not be considered over Cardosa for any spot.

[@awelch31]

Ok, you’re just saying ish now. I’m an LSU guy. Watched dang near every game that season. Angel was dominant. That reserve player you’re talking about is Jasmine Carson. She hit five 3’s in the first half and didn’t score at all in the second. It wasn’t “due to” her, it was a blowout. Before that she only had 11 points the entire tournament. I loved that moment, but that’s what it was, a great moment. I agree that Angel is not there now, but don’t act like she wasn’t a force in college. They had a great team, but she was the anchor and the star, unquestionably. And I think you missed the point entirely just so you could go in on “some black folks”. Gtfo of here with that bs. I’m so tired of people bringing race into this. It’s understood it’s CC, but the point is bring in more young ones with their fan bases and let them learn. Not to mention, I personally would love for the young players to spend some time together too, dream team style.

[@user-ng4nn4zw6r]

@@awelch31 You proved my point - you're an LSU fan. Good for you. I don't care about you, LSU, or Angel Reese. You and LSU are not relevant to most other people who watched women's collegiate basketball over the past couple of years. That is why the only person who stood out to me on LSU's championship team, and to the people that I know, was the LSU reserve who hit the seven 3-pointers in that title game. And although I had not been familiar with Iowa and Caitlin Clark back then, yet I realized that Caitlin's game was special whereas Angel's game was not and still is not. Angel has not garnered accolades on the level of Caitlin Clark. It is people like you who insist that there is a rivalry between them - it's not. Many like you have attempted to insert Angel into Caitlin's story. You've shamed the media into accepting that story for fear of being labeled racist. Although I too am a Black man, I can still speak the truth about a situation that involves Black people. I find it embarrassing to Angel to shoe horn Angel into Caitlin's narrative. Angel needs a lot more development. Caitlin just needs better teammates. That's the difference between them. Better teammates for Angel means less playing time for Angel. Better teammates for Caitlin means greater accomplishments for Caitlin. Another difference between the two players. Angel is not nearly as marketable as Caitlin and neither are the other Black and White players in the WNBA. One more difference between them. Many want Caitlin's rewards without possessing Caitlin's attributes. Caitlin ain't popular because she's White. Caitlin is popular because she's RIGHT (for the occasion). Her preparation for this moment did not begin at Iowa, it began when she was still in diapers. Now go figure that riddle out.

[@darrellglover493]

The one thing I noticed is the argument that it's beneficial to have Clark and, to a lesser extent, Reese is coming from mostly the MEN. A vast majority I heard from WOMEN are stating the opposite of its merit over popularity. To me, WOMEN are being blamed for not growing the league because the MEN wasn't going to support these women in the W to begin with and are the main ones, outside of genuine Caitlin fans, who feel they can speak for both men and women as to how to grow the league and it's by putting Caitlin as the face of everything regardless of whose most talented or whose MVP or has a ring. Caitlin brings more eyes to MEN watching the WNBA. Most of them aren't going to watch the Olympic women's team dominate knowing they will because they never cared. If you are never going to CARE, that's not growing.

[@JohnWick-qd4br]

You are not necessarily wrong but you only are thinking local (USA viewership) and they are thinking globally, like it or not the girls already represent the feature, and they are already growing the league by being on the news ALL THE TIME, think about it, all this extra drama and time in the news does nothing but help bring in new fans, grow interest, now showcase that shit globally, help yourself by showcasing your feature to millions and millions of little girls all over the planet that will watch simply because she is in, simply because she is in the news all the time, this are the type of players younger generations are rooting for, I understand merit, and I would normally agree, but you don't piss on your feature only because your vets might have a problem with it, KG is right, the Olympics is where the knowledge is passed on, where the odd friendships begin, that's exactly how it works in men’s, it's a proven formula, it's the smart thing to do, they need to stop acting like the new gen it's going to be carried without contributing because that's not the case, they are already contributing, and they will ball given the chance

The WNBA is lucky enough to have the NBA, an elite league that has gone through many changes over the years. They get to see first-hand how it changed and how it positively effected the league. Steph Curry for instance, his style of play was foreign to the NBA back then, the extreme volume shooting and ridiculous accuracy from the logo to even half court shots. His success changed the NBA. Caitlin Clark is currently one of the closer players in the WNBA that somewhat resembles some of Steph Curry's game. We've seen what that combination of playstyle is capable of in the NBA. Why would they go to such lengths to try to bring her down rather than go along with the ride? Why do they actively want to prevent the WNBA from getting more fans and earning more profit?

Yeah those 7 points CC put up was definitely USA Team worthy... Y'all eating her too much... Grow the game??? Putting it on the map? Women's basketball been live globally. It's not live here. These guys don't know anything about the W... I know a bit, but this is clear and utter ignorance.

Those same 7 points got more people to watch and talk about her and the game than the veterans in her league.

Hey OG you know you not going get paid in your career that’s passed. But you can be a true OG mentor, set yourself up for a lucrative post player career. You might be coaching these girls, shame you treating them like this. This jealousy is so short sighted, play the long game, it’s called legacy.

2004 Olympic mens team picked draft pick Emeka Okafor and rookies Melo, Wade and Lebron over established stars and vets 2004 women's team picked draft pick taurasi 2008 women's team picked draft pick candace parker 2012 men's team picked draft pick anthony davis 2016 women's team picked draft pick breana stewart 2020 men's team picked rookie keldon johnson They shouldve picked caitlin clark, and for good measure brink and reese too, coz theyve been doing that over the years. Only 8 or 9 players will play meaningful minutes coz Olympic/FIBA games are only 10 mins per quarter. They gonna win gold regardless and those 3 rookies wouldnt play significant mins, but they will bring significant attention.

[@dominiquevann-smith3350]

Sorry it’s not about shining light when it’s the Olympics. If you know about over seas basketball it’s a whole different game and CC 7 turnovers a game won’t work in that light. Yes people will watch but it’s about winning and her career doesn’t show that it only shows deep 3s with a bad assist to turnover ratio

@@dominiquevann-smith3350 What are you winning in long term though? WNBA is a charity league, the men prop it up. At some point do you want this league to grow financially or not?

@@rickd438 Id want to league to grow but they’ve been folding for years now I just don’t think her not being on the team deserve this big of a reaction. I get it in the marking sense but at the end of the day they chose basketball facts over shared opinion facts. Just to put it in perspective the college or drafted nba player to play in the Olympics was Anthony Davis. If you know ball we can agree on why he was picked. Besides hype CC doesn’t fit it to make the team

[@rickd438]

@@dominiquevann-smith3350 Not arguing the basketball side of it. I don't care if she fits or not. Garbage minutes to the most popular player in the game would do wonders for the other women on the court because people would tune in and see the other stars. People need to care about who is playing otherwise no one will pay attention. We have ample evidence on the men's side as well as to why this works. Moving forward WNBA decisions need to have some portion that is market based and not just basketball based. They've had 27-28 years to do it their way and it hasn't worked, no one is watching.

@@rickd438 I can’t hold you, you nailed it on the head with this last comment and I couldn’t agree more I just don’t like the narrative that’s being presented. But this is the type of communication I like no who’s right or wrong but just sports talk. The wnba has a big adjustment on their hands and I just want equal opinions like the nba. Like you said they only been around for close to 28 years that’s like Bill Russell time if we talkin comparisons to nba. So definitely room to improve. But I love the sports talk without basis opinion 👌🏾

[@johnatanblackman6578]

The question the WNBA players need to ask themselves is: would I rather make some more money playing basketball or do I want to see the Womans National Team getting gold, not Saying that if the draft class was added to the team they wouldn't get old. Delusional.

I dont care if this makes sense to you but it does to me. Clark, Boston, Arike, Brink, and others played on Team USA youth teams. I would think Team USA would be loyal to the young players that rocked the NCAA. like in the old days. they should make room for Clark plus two or three, special considration for gold medalist youth players. gotta have experience next time. Clark did things in college NOBODY had done before. Why is it so hard for Team USA to recognize that? Isnt that the spirit of Team USA?

[@hasingh3286]

The funny thing is, if a flashy/undeserving rookie got picked on an olympic team during they're time, they'd be the loudest haters ever. Which is what made them great btw. I get the whole marketing thing, but olympics is about the purity of sport. It would be wrong for Team USA to tell one of the more deserving players that you do not get the honor of being an Olympian, because people like this rookie. And I don't want to hear the bullshit history about Christian laytner being picked over someone. In hindsight, that was clearly the wrong decision. Find other ways to market.
