🚨 USA WINS 76–66 AND I’M ABSOLUTELY PISSED🚨
Spain played Team USA AND THE REFEREES today. The whistle completely shifted this game in America’s favor, and anybody who watched it knows Spain got a brutal deal.
But I’m going to address the elephant in the room.
This Team USA roster is overwhelmingly African American, Caitlin Clark is white, and I’m watching players repeatedly look Caitlin off when she’s on the floor.
I’m NOT going to automatically call that racism because I can’t prove what’s in somebody’s heart.
But I damn sure can call out WHAT I’M WATCHING.
Jackie Young finds Kahleah Copper. Copper finds Jackie Young. Caitlin can be available and they repeatedly go somewhere else.
At some point, somebody needs to explain WHY.
Caitlin entered in the third quarter with Spain UP ONE.
During that stretch, USA completely flipped the game and built an eight-point advantage.
Read that again.
The stat sheet will NEVER properly explain Caitlin Clark’s impact today. Her pace changed. Her defense mattered. The entire energy of Team USA changed when she stepped onto the floor.
Then Paige Bueckers and Angel Reese don’t even play in the fourth quarter?
WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING?
USA Basketball has assembled an incredible collection of individual talent.
They have NOT assembled a team.
And I’m done pretending I don’t see Caitlin Clark getting looked off.
@usabasketball — explain these rotations.
Sue Bird, Kara Lawson, Jackie Young, Kahleah Copper , somebody explain what we’re watching.
Because eventually USA is going to face a team good enough that the referees and individual talent WON’T SAVE THEM.
Am I the only person seeing Caitlin repeatedly get looked off, or are we finally ready to have that conversation?????

Yes well said. And what a huge win for Michigan. You’re obviously a basketball school now though if you’re storming the field after an embarrassing win over WM.
Lots of people could learn a thing or two from the @MACSports about winning and losing with grace and class.
Let the apologies to Michigan fans be as loud as the accusations!
