Clark doesn’t have much of a chance this year

[stormtrooper8]

And again, I read that Clark wasn’t able to attend camp & tryouts because of the Final Four

So wouldn’t be fair to put someone on the roster who didn’t participate

No way that was the reason she was left off

Not sure that was the deciding factor just sayin II did read she couldn’t make it because she was still playing

This is more likely the reason

My friend

she was replaced by a person that hadn’t played all year and is currently hurt.

Bottom line she didn’t get picked because she is white and not gay.

It certainly did sound like that’s what he was saying first time

I honestly thought they were saying bitch not bench. I had to replay it a few times. Sorry the only language I speak is English.

I was confused by your earlier post on this....
Now it makes sense.

I went back and replayed it a few times and use the word "biatch" in place of bench and it made it extremely funny to listen to. That would have been epic.

She’s not one of the top 12 players in the country

Shes not far off, but she’s not good enough yet

Do you all think a team should be selected just based off of popularity? Just genuinely curious

I don't think it's completely irrational to believe that. Especially if the sport is trying to grow and they are going to win the tournament whether or not Clark is there

For me, I just find it really tough to put Clark in over someone who is more deserving at this point and has less time to get an Olympic Gold medal when Clark definitely will have opportunities in the future

Agreed…. But she will be by end of the season

Well to be fair that’s how it usually works in the NBA

And that’s why Diana Taurasi was selected

Team USA tends to choose the best players, but a lot of the top Americans simply don't want to play at the Olympics most times because they prefer to rest after a grueling NBA season-- this year seems to be different though

A lot of the best players also happen to be international guys

It’s all working out she’s not playing

She actually is getting more attention

KATE MARTIN 3-3 from the arc in 1st career start.

Is a person who didn’t play all year and not able to play because they’re injured a better pick to go to the Olympics over her? I think not, that’s ridiculous

They win by 30 points every game that’s not the issue. It was a terrible decision as far as growing the game most big timers in the media agree

Steven A blasted Olympic committee

I was thinking more all-star game

Popularity contest

Clearly these girls are jealous of her

it all boils down to jealousy.
