The OIC gets its players from the wnba {which halts its season to provide players} and the wnba wants tv ratings.
The jealousy of the black rug munchers against a straight, white girl that got a $28,000,000.00 shoe deal before she took a single shot has them so pissed that they will cut off their collective noses to spite their feces {err faces}.
Stupid is as stupid does.
The WNBA wants THEIR TV ratings. Not Olympic TV ratings.
Meanwhile thanks to the way their league is scheduled every minute Clark plays in the WNBA this season is 1 more minute than she’s ever played in a year in her life. She went from a 29 game season (29 games that are 40 minutes long) went to the NCAA finals so added 5 games, got 2 weeks off and started playing the WNBA pre-season games, and now regular season games. A 40 game season schedule of 48 minute games. She’s going to play 2 1/2 times as many games as her body is used to, with most of them being longer.
From a WNBA perspective of keeping THEIR attendance and ratings up, giving 2 weeks off during the Olympics is a no brainer. She’s already had an injury that slowed her down for a few games. If she’s the future of the league, the future needs a vacation.
