This has nothing to do with racism. This has to do with protecting the most important asset of the WNBA. The league cannot afford to allow her to get into a very violent competition like international ball that could injure her and keep her from filling seats for the WNBA contests. She’s a lot like Tiger Woods when he entered the PGA. He was a selling point that effected greatly the money involved with almost any connection to the PGA and to its market value. He was the greatest thing since sliced bread for the golf world.
There’s tons of really great players in women’s basketball in the U.S. who are reported to be on the roster. That includes A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart, Brittney Griner, and several more. Women’s basketball hasn’t lost a game at the Olympics since 1992.
They’ve spent a lot of money and time on her being the salvation for the womens’ game and to get her hurt when she’s filling the seats, getting the league contracts, and increasing radio, online, and television sales revenue in the WNBA they’d be stupid to let her get into that fist fight. It’s all about the bottom line. If a purple person was being talked about, it would be the same.

That's a man. Only EVIL calls it a woman.
I completely concur. CC should NOT even go to Paris. She’s too valuable to the WNBA.
Right now, she IS the WNBA. Let the others try to win gold medals. She can just keep making gold. It’s not worth the risk.
