FAKE NEWS - She’s White, and Straight.
Two of the 11 players on the Olympic team, Sabrina Ionescu and Kelsey Plum, are straight and white, one white player is a lesbian. Some of the black players are straight (Napheesa Collier is married to a white man.), and some it doesn’t say what they are.
In addition to being white and straight, she is also Catholic. The trifecta.
Because of Olympic Rules regarding 3x3 teams. I don’t believe Clark is eligible for the team.
“For FIBA, basketball’s global organisation, 3x3 has been about ‘inclusion’. It’s theoretically easier to organise a competitive 3x3 team than a competitive 5-on-5 team because you need fewer players and less infrastructure. So they’ve made efforts to encourage qualification from a wider group of nations, and to make it a somewhat separate enterprise from 5-on-5. So you can’t just parachute in anyone - they must have at least a minimal history with 3x3.”
“Essentially, at least two of the four players have to be ranked in the country’s top-10 players in the 3x3 rankings; the remaining players must have participated in at least one FIBA 3x3 Official Competition between Jan. 1, 2023 and June 24, 2024.”
