Caitlin Clark<\/a><\/strong> revealed she is \u201cnot disappointed\u201d after not making it into the 2024 Paris Olympics USA team.\u200b\u200b <\/span>\u201cI was a kid who grew up watching the Olympics, so it\u2019ll be fun to watch them. I think it just gives you something to work for. Hopefully in four years, I can be there,\u201d shared the 22-year-old.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m excited for the girls that are on the team\u2026I know it\u2019s the most competitive team in the world and I know it could\u2019ve gone either way,\u201d said the Indiana Fever player via a post shared by sports reporter Chloe Peterson on X<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The first-round-pick of the 2024 WNBA<\/a> Draft found out the news while on the team bus in which she reached out to her coach, Christie Sides<\/strong>. \u201cThe thing she said was, \u2018Hey coach, they woke a monster, which I thought was awesome,\u201d admitted the Fever coach.<\/span><\/p>\n When it comes to not making the Olympic team, Caitlin Clark has nothing but praise for the 12 who made it: \u201cit\u2019s the toughest team to make.\u201d<\/p>\n Clip: pic.twitter.com\/LX59YA5Bzf<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Chloe Peterson (@chloepeterson67) June 9, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The USA team list is set to release to be released on Tuesday, June 11, although an insider said the team was made up by Kahleah Copper<\/strong>, Alyssa Thomas<\/strong>, Sabrina Ionescu<\/a><\/strong>, Kelsey Plum<\/strong>, Jackie Young<\/strong>, Chelsea Gray<\/strong>, A\u2019ja Wilson<\/a><\/strong>, Breanna Stewart<\/a><\/strong>, \u00a0Napheesa Collier<\/strong>, Jewell Loyd<\/strong>, Diana Taurasi<\/strong>, and Brittney Griner<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Caitlin\u2019s wish of playing for the USA comes amid a rough start to her rookie year. The athlete has been shoved and pushed down in multiple games this season. \u201cI grew up playing basketball with the boys. It\u2019s always been physical and feisty and you have to find a way to hold your own,\u201d Caitlin recalled to the press after a game against Chicago Sky.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Aside from this, she has become the talk of the town. Everyone is talking about her, including Pat McAfee<\/a><\/strong> who called her a \u201cwhite bitchh.\u201d<\/a> The sports analyst<\/span> described her using foul language during his ESPN show The Pat McAfee Show<\/i><\/a>, but in his words, he made it known it was used in \u201ccomplimentary fashion-like\u201d way. He then took it to the show the next day to apologize after seeing his words blow up. \u201cI shouldn\u2019t have used \u2018white bitch\u2019 as a descriptor of Caitlin Clark. No matter the context.. even if we\u2019re talking about race being a reason for some of the stuff happening.. I have way too much respect for her and women to put that into the universe,\u201d he wrote on X.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n
