If you believe that there is nothing anyone can say to explain how this stuff works. You have fixed a delusion in your brain. And that not be changed.
“If dat white b**** be on da team I ain’t playin’ on da team.”
“How dumb are these people?” Portnoy added. “Never complain about women salaries ever again. Make that team fly commercial. Unreal dumb.”
Good to see that Africa and the middle east is well represented...
NO HETEROS ALLOWED.
I've been retired for some years now. During my working career, I've been on both sides of the fence. I was promoted early and many people resented it. Later in my career, it was the opposite.
By the way, Megan Rapinoe retired from soccer last year...I thought that she might try to play in Olympics this year...But, she eventually decided not to...
She’s old now. So her skills are not what they used to be.
How about Simone Biles? She will probably be on the US gymnastics team...She is famous...By they way, she is black...She is not a lesbian...She is married to an NFL player...
Kelsey Plum was married to an NFL player...But, she is divorcing him...
Peer pressure? It ain't cool to be "straight".
Yeah, there are a lot better and more refined players in the WNBA. Of course they could of pulled a cynical profit taking/ratings grabbing move of adding her to the team but I am glad the OC maintained some type of dignity.
Rookies in the WNBA have the worst time adjusting. Most gals are coming off March Madness season lasting into early April and the draft, then bang, season starts in May. Not much of an off-season rest, then you are facing seasoned pros, tough adjustment.

What a shame. Olympic viewership will take a hit.
“You mean their only asset.”
Actually their biggest single funding source for the WNBA is the NBA. The WNBA annually brings in about $200M. The NBA, on the other hand, brings in around $10B. The founder of the WNBA were former NBA commissioner David Stern and other owners of the NBA teams. So spreading the wealth to both leagues is sound business for the pro basketball community in the US. However, the current welfare coming from the men’s league is around $1M a team, or in the area of $12M. It doesn’t cover the shortfall.

So what. Again the people in charge of building the US Olympic teams does not have TV ratings in their job list. They literally DO NOT CARE. Their job is to get gold medals. PERIOD. Rating, no ratings, DO NOT CARE.
Catlin should leave the US and play in the EU or for Israel. Screw the US WNBA.
Check out the members of the selection committee for the women’s USA Olympic basketball team.
Any other questions?!?
Better she stay home rather than the world see how racist and hetro bias the US team is.
