Conclusion: Don't let Marc run your business
Left her off for same reason she has been catching abuse in league, racism and jealousy.
I don't think racism at all in this case. I Believe 1000% jealousy. There are plenty of other white girls who are not getting the hate at all & every nba male I've heard talk about(nearly all black) have had nothing but praise for her
@@quadoduece it's not racism from fans, but what would be her teammates
@noneyabizz8337 I don't think it's racism there either, 1000% jealous hatred. Women hate on each other relentlessly.
Who has been racist to CC. Please show examples
There is no racism get over it
Marc you are crazy they left the cash cow off the team!!!! Bad business decision. You’re acting like she can’t play basketball! Records don’t lie she’s broke them all.
😂 she broke the scoring record but what did she win???
People are wondering how far do you take the CC marketing vehicle before you start to impact the integrity of the sport.
You still require strategy to play and win.
Will it be enough for her just to be on the team or will she require a minimum number of minutes to help business and promote the league. Should she start? They’ll get more eyeballs right?
Where does it end?
@@SmartDave60You know there's a precedent of rookies making the Olympic team right? They could treat Caitlin like they did Taurasi, Parker etc
@@casualcausalityy are you concerned at all that if she does make the Olympic team but gets very limited minutes that *that* then becomes a concern?
@@SmartDave60 No, I think most would be perfectly fine with limited minutes off the bench. The main purpose is practicing with the veterans and gaining more international experience.
Let's double down on stupid - Marc Lamont Hill
Right, Jason Whitlock, a right-wing provocateur, and opinion host, is the intelligent one, and Professor Marc Lamont Hill, is the ignorant one... You live in an Orwellian delusion.
They reference the dream team with bird and Jordan. With everyone saying Caitlin Clark being un-qualified, there was a rookie/unproven college kid Christian Laettner.
Yea ...Jordan and Bird
There is a professional womens badketball team? Oh, seems I remember women kissing in the stands. Naw, I'm not taking any of my kids or grand kids to see that.
I would watch the Olympic women’s basketball game if Caitlin were on the team.
WATCH IT FOR WHAT......SHE DON'T DESERVE TO MAKE IT.... Y'ALL CRAZY......IM FOR ALL THE ROOKIES ESPECIALLY REESE....BUT KNOW WHAT LETS JUST GIVE HER EVERYTHING AND A CERTAIN CLASS OF PEOPLE WOULD BE GREAT
Don’t comment either
@@danielike6395Reese ain’t nowhere near the talent of Clark, that’s fact, deal with it
@@terrycollins9744 NOT TRUE AND I WANT DEAL WITH ANYTHING....LIKE WHO U LIKE I LIKE WHO I LIKE NOTHING U DO OR HER CAN CHANGE IT SO U DEAL WITH IT MN....
@@danielike6395 Yes, it’s true and you obviously attend school in the ghetto cause you can’t put a fuqin sentence together. Take your medicine and lay down
0:33 To be fair to Mark, 156% increase in viewership is actually just a few people.
Compared to International, not even a drop in the bucket
More than what they had. I guess they wont be happy until that number goes down i guess.@geronimopratt7976
I see the point MLH is trying to make, but when you've got a league that's suffered for decades trying to reach the same audience as the NBA...it only makes sense that Caitlin Clark should have been on the Olympic team!!
I'm a perfect example...I rarely watched or kept up with the WNBA until she came along.
Like it or not...the girl is pure gold.
You're the problem. Should of been supporting the woman. Ironically a white woman makes you watch a predominantly black league😂
She might need to go to Germany or go to Canada we will follow Caitlin Clark wherever she goes any the WNBA does not appreciate her her fans Shirley do
Please go
She has to work on her turnovers and field goal percentage. She also struggles at guarding athletic players so she often results in fouling. Bad body language whenever she is not hitting shots. Not a productive player playing off ball. Has to have the ball in order to make a huge impact. With all that being said, people want to act as if she is a top talent in wnba. Fun to watch and potential to enhance wnba, but not quite there yet.
Why not mention the actual reason she wasn't chosen for the Olympic team ? - It's because she was unable to make a single mini-camp, or national team practice. Not one. No fault of Clark's, she had prior commitments (NCAAs), But it wouldn't be fair to bump another athlete who made the camps, put in the work, established a rapport with the other team members, and logged some time with the international game.
Yes, Clark's being treated horribly in the WNBA, primarily by her black colleagues, but that's a different thing than being chosen for the Olympic team.
Yup, I agree
You realize two other players didn't participate in any of the camp's either because they are injured. One hasn't played in almost a year and made the team and unamerican Brittney has only played 1 game this season. 😮😮😮
@@johnholmes102 You realize there's a difference between a player who was Never on the team, never made one mini-camp or workout , and players who already made the team.
@@stevegee7623 different coaches have different systems, so you're telling me that the 2 injured players have played for this coach before.
@@johnholmes102No moving the goal posts, or straw-man arguments are needed.
Although you may find it easier disingenuously to argue against words, and thoughts I've not expressed, try simply taking what I wrote as what I have expressed.
Players that have previously played on the National Team are not the same as those who have never made a single camp, game, or practice.
Just FYI, the coach doesn't pick the players for the USA National Team. That is done by the US National Team Selection Committee, which is chaired by Jennifer Rizzotti, who's already explained that the Committee has generally opted for players with more International experience, including 7 of the 12 who played together, taking the gold in Tokyo. Style of play / coaching was also considered, and there were veterans from the Tokyo team that were left off the roster as well. Perhaps if Clark was able to attend the camps, she could have displayed her case, but she didn't.
The Committee has their set of criteria, and it doesn't involve a conspiracy against Clark. Don't conflate butthurt feelings of jealousy of some black WNBA players with the US National Selection Committee.
Love that you can have him on and he agrees too. Respect to both of you guys.
They pick the players that they want to represent america in the olympics. America is all about that wokeness. They're going to pick the players that check their Gay boxes.
I thought professional athletes were not allowed in the Olympics?
Diggs Diggs should be on the team but we know why she's not...
Diana Taurasi was on the 2004 US Olympic team. She graduated from UConn in 2004. She did not need to put her time in before getting a USA opportunity. She was 22, and she played in all 8 games (did not start). What is difference between the DT in 2004 and CC 20 years later? CC has international experience playing on two U19 USA teams.
In looking at her WNBA stats, she is not shooting as well as others & TO are an issue. One of the league leaders in assists.
She's only averaging 15 points per game. Stop acting as if she's great.
15 is good due to their style of their play
@@amincy1 what style? All I know is the team flat out sucks.
Stephen Curry averaged 17.5 his rookie year.
@@deangoings give them time. Would you say the same about the NBA Spurs?
@@amincy1 I hear you but they make her sound as if she's going to be the mj of WNBA. He averaged 28 points his rookie season. I'm not saying she's not good but to me it's insane to act as if she's great already. Gotta prove it.
They are turning this into a political nightmare. It all started with the First Lady inviting the losing team to the White House and it hasn’t slowed down since. Sad…
The guy's talking like the sport is not a business. And make Gray, Griner and Taurasi make sense.
Marc . . . Puhleeeeeese. You just don't get it
Fatlok just don’t get it
Hill is comparing Apples to Oranges. If you have a business thats been unprofitable for even 7 years, you end that business. 27 years? Wow
Marc makes no sense, Diana and Breanna played straight out of college on the women's team in 2005 so what's the difference with Catlin playing right out of college. College basketball's all time leading scorer in men's and women's basketball should be on the team PERIOD. 😅😅😅
Lamont hill think men can have periods his opinion is invalid
ESPN won't let me comment on their TH-cam vids. I've supported Clark and they banned all my comments. Unbelievable.
How is MLH still given any kind of platform? Get someone with a brain AND common sense- say, a Jericho Green. Love Jason Whitlock- Despise MLH. I'm out.
I agree with you on every point you make on Hill. Hill is even worse at analyzing women's pro basketball, as he is about analyzing politics, which is to say he's pretty bad at both.
Jericho Green is amazing. The thing is MLH is on the opposite side of the argument.
Why do people act like Caitlyn is averaging 1.5 points a game for 1 game? She has better stats than several of those ladies and nobody is mentioning the jersey sales and ticket sales not just watching on tv!
If team USA picked the 12 most marketable women, we would lose. All the women would look like models and the International teams would destroy us.
The real question is without the NBA How does the WNBA grove their brand while not making a profitable and not using Caitlin Clark on the USA Olympic team or the face of the WNBA league.
Jason you stated exactly why Caitlyn Clark didn't make the team and it's because she's not a black lesbian but then you let your guest get you off track with the affirmative action argument. You should have made him argue your point. It has nothing to do with her talent good or bad why she wasn't chosen!
Tell it Jason!
Marc is a smart guy but I feel like this guy is weird. I don't know why he is doing this to himself. He is always on the wrong side of the fence.
A lot of people on the left are very intelligent, but I think they find virtue in arguing against common sense for some reason. I think it's out of boredom due to extreme privilege.
If he's always on the wrong side chances are he's not very bright.
When a smart guy always says dumb things, how smart is he?
@@noneyabizz8337 Well yeah
@@juststop022 Or he is acting up...To him this is his drama, always negative.lols
The Olympics draw billions of people, the world doesn't know about CC so she is not impacting the marketing of Team USA.
I know many people in Europe and even the Philippines who are fans of CC and are interested in the WNBA for the first time.
The world knows about Caitlin Clark dude, the US women will still be getting asked about CC every game
It's hard to argue with stupid.
This is no middle ground with fools
It’s very simple. The case for Clark on the USA Team is a business case, not a skill, merit or dues paid case. The business case is that it would be better for team USA to win a silver medal with a less skilled and senior team than it is to win another gold with the absolute best team. Add Clark and Reese to the team and you sell out on jerseys and grow the game. This is the age old argument between the purists who insist on integrity in the sport and the business managers focused on the financial viability of the games.
Here are several things which are rarely mentioned as to why the wnba fan base increased due to Caitlin clark. About 2/3 of nba fans are male and men make up more than 50 percent of wnba fans. Most men who are sports fans are straight and many prefer more attractive and feminine women. About 30 percent of the wnba identifies as LGBTQ....many have tattoos, unflattering hair styles, dress and groom themselves in masculine ways and/or wear baggy and unattractive clothes; many come across as having a chip on their shoulder against men and "traditional American values". Catlin doesn't check any of these boxes. Her more traditional and male preferred traits and also the fact thats she's a down to earth white girl from the Midwest are many reasons why she is popular. She speaks well, doesn't blame others for her losses, doesn't race bait and she has a well rounded and fundamentally sound basketball game. She is easy to like compared to many players in the wnba and she is a good role model for fathers with daughters.
Caitlin Clark has already won three Olympic gold medals. She’s averaging better than four of the players that are on the Olympic team. One player they put on the team is still out with an injury. Check CC”s stats. CC already has an international fan base. Nike shoes are international.
Coach Cheryl Reeve is the reason why CC is not on the team check her comments she made about Caitlin Clark.
If you watch this debate with volume down, on MUTE you can discern much from just their demeanor and mannerisms.
No people would not rather see Diana Tarausi on Team USA😂
Skinny, white girl is the most famous female basketball player in the World. Ofc they are jealous :)
there is a reason Marc is a college prof and not a business man
Marc made some great points. I liked his comparison to college admissions being conceptualized. Good conversation on all sides!
Mark...*smh*...all over the place with his comparisons. Affirmative action for college admissions compared to picking athletes to compete in International competiton?!?! BRUH!!!!
Jason, please run for president of the United States. I would work for your campaign with enthusiasm. Your wonderful views are articulated so well, no one else is as capable as you.
America is in desperate need of a person like you and you are the only person as capable and dedicated as you.
They should make a tv series about her.
Lamont doesn’t have the knowledge to talk about the Caitlin basketball issue. If he knows, he is naive… or disingenuous…. Or hypocrite.
Him and Stephen A Smith AGREE!????
Its more jealousy than racism. Because Even the white players before her never got the kind of attention she is currently getting. So hit pause on the racism thing.
CC needs to earn and deserve to be in the Olympics. The fact that her fans want her in the Olympics when she doesn't have the skills is saying a lot. Her fans are why she's tired and probably depressed because they are selfish fans.
they keep saying "we are putting the best"...first that's not true...they left the second best scorer.
if it doesn't work they say "well Cc is a rookie"....so was Diana and Stewart
Are the Women's team so scared that they will lose...
please....no one believes that
they just don't want to say this "CAITLIN CLARK SAVED THE WNBA" period
You all keep missing the point. Black liberals are more mad about CC having white fans. Racism is against the fans.
Thank you Sir , thank you for the description of insanity that he didn’t know !!
he is insane !!
Honestly it has nothing to do with race there are different races on that team It has everything to do with jealousy towards Caitlin Clark because she's moved the needle with what she does on the court and her popularity is beyond any other player that's ever played in the WNBA and they just come up with excuse after excuse That's called jealousy they just need to get over their jealousy and embrace the popularity what she brings cuz it can rock it their popularity and the money that they make. So it comes down to just stop being petty and jealous.
TBCH, I was really surprised to have learned a few things just recently from all the WNBA media attn.
First, I had no idea the league has been in the red in every season since its debut.
Second I had no idea that a majority of WNBA players were lesbian.
The third and most interesting(peculiar) to me out of all that I've had a chance to witness so far, is that I never expected lesbians to display such strong "straight" women personalities/characteristics. To mention a few, they seem very "spotlight on ME" seeking.
Undeniably "territorial" and recognition seeking.
They initially perceive a threat to them rather than beneficial ally of any "new girl".
😂 Honestly its was surprising to witness and amusing at the same time.
It reminded me of a couple funny old, I suppose what would now be called a "stereotypes".
Girls tend to choose a BFF who they perceive to be less attractive than themselves(we all know the reason right😊)
Most girls, if were tasked to choose a sincere lifelong bff, they tend to choose a boy.
There are obvious reason why the phrase "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" has endured for centuries 😉
I have a business, a New Product is selling off the shelves and if you get it you are going to make money, but I am loyal to my old line and just need to dust them off and hope they sell.
Marc Lamont Hill = David Duke
Americans have no idea whats happening outside their country, Clark already got the attention of the world. Every live stream of their game, there are people from London, Australia, Ireland, NZ, Korea, Indonesia, Philippines, Japan, Brazil, Nigeria. I can go on and on about who are watching despite time difference. The fact is she has a big fan base in and outside America now. Thats what happen to Jordan after Olympics, NBA, Nike, Gatorade Jordan shirts, underwear etc reach the world market. Clark is just one player to add, better than the injured player or the one known to the world who was jailed due to drugs. Let her play with Diana, Breanna, Aja, it will be historical and gain more attention and love from the fans. He speak like Clark dont know how to play, if it was Reese they will not oppose cause shes black. Lesson here, do not let Marc handle your business.😂
It's impossible to quantify how insecure, uninformed, and uneducated the audience that Jason Whitlock fosters is, but I'm willing to bet it's one of the most intellectually, and morally bankrupt group of non-critical thinkers in any public setting, on just about any topic.
Without Clark im done
In the Olympics the goal is to win the gold period!
It also says to grow the league. They have no trouble getting a goal medal.
This is the only part of this show that I will not watch. Guys, like Hill is why America has fallen away from God. Race is his god and women are his headship.
She is either good enough or she is not. I'm totally uninterested. She'll prove herself one way or the other.
Same guy who said they can get pregnant and we know who they is
This guy lamont hill is making invalid points to the argument he says he agree with j whit lock perception about what c clark brings to wnba is 100 percent correct the same veteran talent in the wnba hasn't made there league marketable or profitable thats the point mr hill! The answer is right in front of your face what do you mean it shouldn't be because of one woman? C clark is the one laying the golden eggs!
Love these two debating
Funny when kids listen to what you are teaching them you are surprised? Teach white kids that representation matters and you only can idolize and cheer for someone who looks like you what did you expect? Glad I grew up when I could idolize Dr J as a white kid.
I won’t watch a single game and I love the Olympics
Twisting yourself in pretzels 🥨
You sound like she isn’t a great player , she is she has broken record as a wnba in less than two months first one to hit 200 points , hit 7 three point shooter in a game !! The second player to do so !!
She is good and can be better if they have welcomed her but the harassment and hate is for real .
Did Michael Jordan play in Olympics before/during his 1st year of NBA? If so, why was he allowed? He had not proved himself, right?
Jordan played 1984 coming out of college.They didn't let pros play until 1992

Speak for yourself

I like Caitlin I honestly do but people need to stop acting like she the second coming of Christ honestly the best person in Caitlins draft class is kamila cardoso who is fresh off a undefeated season with a championship to boot but everyone seems to forget that. Caitlin has a bright future but she gotta pay her dues like everyone else period
Like very much how you call people out ! Respect your truths!
In reparation to His hallowed Name, blessed be the Name of God.
Nobody cares about anybody in that league. Everyone tuned it to watch Clark play. I have never watched a second of the wnba but I have this season when they showed one of her games.
I don’t follow the WNBA but I thought Diana Taurasi was retired?
The solution is simple; invite both Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark to the Olympic team. Cut Griner and Taurassi, make the tough choice. Or, expand the Team USA Women's roster to 15. Add Reese, Clark, and Brink.
Caitlin Clark's ROCKET SHIP Leads WNBA To Potential $240 MILLION PER SEASON Media Rights TV Deal!
WNBA and Women's Team USA, y'all need to ride the Caitlin Clark cash cow all the way to financial independence!
The NBA subsidy of the WNBA is a crutch. Become a profitable league finally, after 30 years.
From a Ticket Revenue from Attendance, TV Viewership & Media Rights, and Merchandise Sales perspective;
“Caitlin Clark is STEPH CURRY mixed with LARRY BIRD and the marketing branding power of MICHAEL JORDAN!”
The WNBA gave the Fever a ridiculous schedule to start season. Of course she was tired.

Jason, Jason, Jason; why waste your time with a fool that should remain silent but just can’t resist the impulses.
NBA WRITE OFF TAX BREAK 💲NBA NOT LOSING MONEY ??? 💯💪🏾💯💪🏾💯
They don't know or care NOW, but when she leaves them behind and goes on to bigger and better things the Tears and Whining begins.
Interesting that MLH referred to women on WNBA as "girls"...
People should look up Candance Wiggins, a former player who was bullied while in the WNBA..
The US Olympic team's racial makeup follows the WNBA's: 70% black, 30% white. Out of 12 spots, 8 players are black and 4 are white (70% of 12 is 8.4, 30% of 12 is 3.6). That doesn't support the notion that leaving Clark off the team was racially motivated. And I don't think it's a culture war / sexual identity thing, either. I think the main reason she was left off (when Taurasi, Plum and others were selected for the team as ROOKIES) is that other players are jealous she's gotten so much attention--they think they DESERVE the attention and Clark's stealing it. It's petty.
Caitlin may have better numbers than Tarasi and Plum.,All that be chased around the floor.
DEBATE LAMONT ON RATHER OR NOT MEN CAN GET PREGNANT, HE TOLD CANDACE OWENS MEN COULD GET PREGNANT!!!!!
I would've put CC & Reese on the team💰💰&👀👀s. No reason to have DT go for her 5 or 6th time on the usa team
Don’t think we should compare sports and academics! Not anywhere near the same 🫤
