“The US team doesn’t require someone like her”. The entire Internet is protesting against Brittney Griner after controversial comments about Caitlin Clark’s influence and talent in the WNBA.

Brittney Griner was recently selected to the 2024  Team USA  roster for the Summer Olympics. The 11-year WNBA veteran has represented the United States in prior events, having won two gold medals in her career.

While the questions around Griner should speak on her excitement for the opportunity and fit with the team, there’s one debate that’s still unanswered.

The absence of  Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark from Team USA has fans livid online. Clark is arguably the most popular women’s  b asketball

player in the world, averaging 16.3 points and 6.0 as a rookie in the league.

Griner spoke on Clark being left off the roster, revealing her true thoughts on the situation.
