Author Reveals Why Caitlin Clark “Never Had a Chance” in Making the USA Olympic Team
One of the biggest frustrations of Caitlin Clark fans last year was that she failed to make the US Olympic team. In a new book, an author discussed why CDLark, despite her skills and fame, “never had a chance” in making it to the Olympics in the first place.
“The powers that be in the women’s game did not want Caitlin Clark on their team,” USA Today columnist Christine Brennan wrote in her new book, “On Her Game: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women’s Sports.”
“No matter how well she was playing, and no matter how convinced most basketball experts were that she was not only getting better daily, but also playing very well in the moment, and no matter how much USA Basketball indicated Clark was being given a shot to make the team, she never had a chance.”
Later on, Caitlin Clark declined the offer to join the US women’s 3-on-3 team, citing that she wanted to have a spot based on merit, and not popularity.
