Serbia vs. Puerto Rico - 15,324
Nigeria vs. Australia - 24,023
Germany vs. Belgium - 20,211 France vs. Canada - 20,211
USA vs. Japan - 13,040.
So all the other games had at least one European country. And of course everybody knew the result of the USA game ahead of time, and was probably the least competitive. Not really a surprise.
Caitlin Clark.
I’m surprised that TV network executives weren’t putting pressure on the committee to include her. CC on the team would have meant big viewing ratings.
Is the writer saying that the USA team has a 42 y/o woman
(Diana Taurasi) playing for them?
Good for Diana, if so, but I thought there would be some age restrictions here. Apparently not.
Maybe the same thing is done with men’s Olympic basketball.
I don’t closely follow sports, so I may have overlooked it.
haven’t watch a second of it and probably won’t be....I like track so we’ll see if I change my mind...
That’s what you get for being the racist ball team
No one watching? Simple. The Olympic basketball team’s anti white racist snub of Clark tells whites to sit down and shut up. So we have.
So you didn’t want Clark? So NOBODY is watching any of you. Go suck Lesbo p***y. No one wants to watch you black racist extremists.
The Japanese team probably averages a foot shorter in height (though it looks like they have one tall black girl on the team… must be a story behind that). It is hard not to root for such underdogs.
According to the blind Master Poe, wisest of the monks at the Shaolin temple in Hunan, it does not. And if Master Poe says it does not, then as far as I'm concerned the question has been definitively answered.
“But what I am saying is that if Caitlin Clark WAS on this team, at least people would care about it.”
Spot on. Caitlin is “box office.” The coach/committee chose politics over box office. Thus they play in empty arenas.
Ms. Clark was denied a place on the team?
Pretty good bet that I would watch if Clark was on the team. I think she was kept off the team because she’s straight and white, so F’em.
They’re saving the best for last - the closing ceremony
You have access to a cultural star, the first ages for women’s basketball. You don’t leave her home. It was an unforced error.
Caitlin Clark should be there.
Caitlin Clark.
I don’t watch any sports except watching Caitlin Clark. I hope the USA WOMEN TEAM LOSES THE GOLD.
Caitlin Clark team beat the USA WOMEN’S team.
I hate dunking in basketball. Women’s can shoot.
Who cares? It is the stupid Olympics. It is entirely meaningless except to the athletes who stand to profit off gold medals.
