Like many basketball fans, sportscaster Tim Brando expressed his shock on Monday over Caitlin Clark’s exclusion from the Olympic squad for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
In spite of her widespread popularity and the fact that attention to the Indiana Fever rookie has helped drive WNBA ratings to unprecedented levels, Clark was left off the 12-player roster that was expected to win another gold medal.
On “Hot Mic” with OutKick, Brando referred to the snub as “one of the dumbest business decisions ever made.” He added that another player who was passed over was Arike Ogunbowale of the Dallas Wings, who was also left off the squad.
However, a lot of people have been asking about it on social media, and Dan Patrick brought it up today because he thought that if Caitlin Clark was added to the team, who would you replace her with? .. Even though (Arike Ogumwike) is ranked roughly No. 2 overall in all of these various statistical categories, she hasn’t advanced. Thus, one may argue that she was subjected to more abuse than Caitlin Clark “Brando stated.
“However, from a purely commercial standpoint, if you want more people to watch your game because the expansion of the women’s game is essential to you—as the WNBA has been telling us since 1997—then how in the world could you not let the most well-known.
