Some even went as far as to attribute Clark’s exclusion to her race, igniting a heated debate about racial biases in sports.
While supporters rallied behind Clark, criticizing what they perceived as unfair treatment, others defended the team’s decision, citing factors such as experience and team chemistry.
Someone please explain who Caitlin Clark is better than on this team right now????? The USA women’s team chose the 12 best players. Lets relax https://t.co/d4L1b86QyD

With USA Basketball leaving Caitlin Clark off the Olympic team, this May tweet from US Olympic coach Cheryl Reeve is both interesting and newsworthy. Reeve wrote with a hashtag: “The (WNBA) is more than one player” in direct response to a WNBA tweet promoting Clark’s first game. https://t.co/8kobBEJKOa

So basically Caitlyn Clark “fans” went off because Olympics women’s basketball that they never watch, really won’t be watched now. Because CC didn’t get chosen.
Absolute comedy.

The reason Caitlyn Clark is not on the Olympic Team is because those who run professional women's basketball… don't care about fans… it's no wonder they had very few… before Clark.

Congratulations to the WNBA for once again, not only shooting itself in the foot, but severing the foot and kicking its own ass by not including Caitlyn Clark in the Olympic basketball team. I’m sorry can anyone else name another player? pic.twitter.com/S4O60X89eK
