Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese Defeat Team USA and Prove Cheryl Reeve is a Fraud

The decision to leave Clark off the team for this summer’s 2024 Paris Olympic Games sparked outrage and controversy around the WNBA world.

Some feel Clark’s superstardom should’ve earned her a roster spot representing the U.S. this summer. Others feel she still has a lot left to prove before she earns that honor.

Team USA coach Cheryl Reeve clearly supports the selection committee’s decision to leave Clark off the roster.

Earlier this year, the Minnesota Lynx coach justified the decision with eight words.

“I’ve never been in the trenches with her,” Reeve said, via Nancy Armour of USA TODAY Sports.

Clark responded to the Team USA decision with class.

“I think it just gives you something to work for,” the Indiana Fever rookie said. “It’s a dream. Hopefully one day I can be there. I think it’s just a little more motivation. You remember that. Hopefully when four years comes back around, I can be there.”
