Caitlin Clark 2024 Paris Olympics snub explanation, justification slammed as ‘pathetic’
The U.S. Women’s basketball team continues to come under fire for omitting Caitlin Clark from the roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics and the selection committee chair for the team didn’t do herself any favors with her explanation for Clark’s omission.
“It would be irresponsible for us to talk about her in a way other than how she would impact the play of the team,” Jen Rizzotti said of Clark after the official announcement of the team Tuesday. “Because it wasn’t the purview of our committee to decide how many people would watch or how many people would root for the U.S. It was our purview to create the best team we could for [coach Cheryl Reeve].”
The “create the best team” comment particularly set off some fans, who questioned Diana Taurasi’s inclusion over Clark when Taurasi is 42 and Clark’s numbers are arguably better than Taurasi’s this season.
Did Diana Taurasi steal Caitlin Clark’s 2024 Olympics roster spot? Social media sounds off
We recently wrote about the backlash over Caitlin Clark’s omission from the 2024 Paris Olympics USA Women’s Basketball roster … and Brittney Griner’s inclusion.
But another selection for the team over Clark is also drawing the ire of many women’s basketball fans.
The selection of Griner’s teammate, Diana Taurasi.
Social media sounded off on Taurasi’s inclusion on the team, speculating that she stole Clark’s bid on Team USA, with many citing Clark’s numbers this season as arguably better than Taurasi’s.
It appears that Taurasi, 42, will get a chance to go for a 6th gold medal this summer, while Clark, 22, will miss a chance to win a first.
Interestingly, Taurasi first appeared in the Olympics in 2004 in Athens when she was 22.
Sports host addresses Caitlin Clark vs. Diana Taurasi debate
FOX Sports’ Nick Wright said Clark could have been put on the Olympic team even though she isn’t considered one of the best players in the WNBA, saying “that door somewhat got opened by Diana Taurasi’s inclusion.”
He continued: “They’re having a shockingly similar season. So points and rebounds are basically identical. Field goal percentage is identical. Caitlin has way more assists and way more turnovers to go along with it. Diana has very few assists, very few turnovers. Caitlin is not yet in her prime, Diana’s past her prime. Diana I think got in because she’s Diana-freaking-Taurasi and she deserves it, but you then can’t say we’re just doing out 12 best.”

Many on social media weren’t afraid to take the gloves off in their takes slamming Taurasi’s selection for the women’s basketball team in Paris and Clark’s snub, with many making their arguments comparing Taurasi and Clark’s numbers, like Wright.
