We should have seen it coming.

On Saturday, it was announced that women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark would not be joining the US Women’s Basketball team for the 2024 Olympics.

Despite being the greatest collegiate player in history, breaking nearly every men’s and women’s basketball scoring and assist record at the University of Iowa, Clark has been snubbed.

Meanwhile, Brittney Griner, who has played only one game and scored 11 points this year, made the team.

No player on the Olympic team has scored more three-pointers this year in the WNBA than Caitlin Clark. And only one woman on the team has more assists than Clark this WNBA season.

The decision has left many sports commentators baffled.

David Portnoy from Barstool Sports had a lot to say about the news:

“All right. I’m at Saratoga Belmont Day, looking spectacular, per usual. But this is about Caitlin Clark being left off the Olympic team. How dumb are these women? How dumb? I don’t know who’s making the decision, women’s Olympic Committee, whatever it is. I don’t care if you don’t think Caitlin Clark talent-wise belongs on this team, even though she does put up 37 to 13, like the most points in the history of the league for a rookie.

None of it matters. These women, and I love women, I’m a pro-woman guy. They complain and they cry about equal rights, equal wages, blah, blah, blah. Hey, dummies, for the first time in the history of basketball, you have arguably a player who is the most popular player in the world. You could argue right now, Caitlin Clark is the most talked about, most popular, most puts asses in the seats, single basketball player in the world. You could argue that. Yeah, you could say maybe LeBron, Luca, whatever, but you can argue it. And you leave her off the Olympic team. It’s not only a showcase for her, it’s for the sport and the other WNBA players who are on this team.

How dumb, how brain-dead, how idiotic do the people running this thing have to be? It was one thing after another with her. The business part of my brain is like, these people, and maybe it’s a guy, whoever it is, I don’t ever want to hear you complain about flying commercial or not getting salaries or this, that. You’re too dumb. You’re too dumb. You have a cash cow. This can make Olympic women’s basketball the number one thing people watch with Caitlin Clark. As it is, I’d rather watch grass grow. I’d rather watch paint dry. I’d rather watch dirt just be moved around because Caitlin Clark is not on the team. If she’s there, it’s appointment TV. You people, whoever did this, honestly, hey, take your brain, put it in a museum, and study it for how dumb you are.”
