Its because the WNBA is not operating like a league that actually wants to grow, often it isnt even coming off as a professional league. Legit basketball people, not random fans or twitter trolls, are wondering what the hell is going on over there.
Whether you like her or not, if you want to grow the league it makes no sense to leave CC off that Olympic team. Dont tell me its all about the best players, it isnt and it never has been. Its a popularity contest to grow the league. David Stern knew that, the NBA players knew that, the media knew that, but nobody on the WNBA side knows it. Makes no financial sense whatsoever no matter how you spin it. The only way she got left off is if a bunch of players demanded she not be on the team, and if they did that not only are they morons but the league should have told them to kick rocks. Nobody is tuning in to see Diana Taurasi win a 6th gold medal, nobody.

Everything you said is bullshyt and here’s why .
If the Mystics sell out and people watch only the few games Clarks plays against the and ignore all their other games…. How is that helping grow the league?
Women’s basketball is already more popular overseas which is why WNBA players make 5 and 6 times more money playing outside the country, so the whole notion that Clark needs to play in the Olympics to grow the sport is bullshyt.
The only thing people talk about when describing Clark is money. It’s rarely about actual basketball. Name ONE thing Clark does on the court that she does better than anyone else? What skill does she have that nobody else does that’s revolutionary? And don’t say 3 point shooting because she’s not.
At least in college, her rise to fame happened organically in 2023 during their NCAA run.
But the media and stans have tried to force feed shyt since the day she was drafted.
Everyone automatically thought she was going to come in and pick up where she left off and they can’t get over the fact that they were all wrong so they all pivoted to the marketing card.
Nobody is stopping the media from talking about other players. All be seem to want to do is trash the league, but when you’re constantly calling every other player in the league jealous, haters, ungrateful and unwatchable, how do you expect casual fans to want to watch?

Facts They put Christian Laettner on the dream team, Magic didn't even play in 91-92, Bird had a bad back and they chose Jordan over Zeke

The WNBA's doing that too. It's not on them to select the rosters.
That's like blaming Adam Silver for why Jalen Brunson ain't on the Olympic team.

It ain't about who earned what. It's about getting people to watch. 20k people just filled an arena to watch the Mystics and Fever. That's money the league needs. People will watch the Olympic games if CC is in there, otherwise the ratings will continue to be on par with women's skeet shooting.
It's not rocket science.
This is like you back in 1997 saying "If people only watch the tournaments Tiger plays in how does that help grow the game".
These women need to think strategically. You ain't getting all that shyt you want if people don't watch. Stop being bitter and jealous and give the people what they want to watch.

You didn’t answer the question (or maybe you did)
So the Mystics sell out the 2 or 3 games the play the Fever and nobody shows up for the rest because they don’t really care about the team or WNBA for that matter, and you’re saying the Mystics should be grateful..
Jake Paul brings eyeballs to boxing and makes millions for his fights, but people don’t call him the face of boxing.
If this is what it’s going to take to get people to watch a sport they don’t care about then it’s all a facade.
Facts They put Christian Laettner on the dream team, Magic didn't even play in 91-92, Bird had a bad back and they chose Jordan over Zeke
100% facts. Larry Bird had to lay on the damn court when he wasn't playing because his back hurt too much to sit.
And he was on the team.
Magic wasn't even in the NBA.
And he was on the team.
Laettner........
Yet people want to say it's all about who the top players are.
Come on.
The players on the current men's team aren't the top 12 players in the NBA. But they are on the team for a reason.
Just stop saying you trying to grow the game. Because your actions show you aren't. Done.
