Caitlin Clark and Colin Cowherd
When Caitlin Clark was left off the Olympics squad of Team USA, it caused an uproar among fans and media personalities. However, the selection committee cited chemistry issues as she has not played with WNBA veterans who have been a part of the team. But ever since that snub, the Indiana Fever rookie has been on a tear. Her play has not only helped her break records but also led her team to wins. Seeing all this, Colin Cowherd decided to call out the selection committee.
The long-time analyst took to his show, The Herd with Colin Cowherd, to talk about how Clark has been performing recently. He took that conversation further.
Diana Taurasi is injured, and it may open the door for Caitlin Clark to make the Olympic team. The sport made a terrible decision on the Olympic team. You made a big mistake the first time in not putting her on the Olympic team. Don't double down on dumb. Get her on the team. Give us a reason to watch the Olympic women's team. Quadruple your television ratings with. Promoting not only the other women on the team that can get endorsements but promoting your sport.Colin Cowherd said
Cowherd was clear that now Clark’s performances warrant her inclusion. Especially when her popularity is added to the context. The analyst suggested that the Olympics selection committee took a wrong decision by leaving her out the first time. Now when a chance is appearing, he wants them to rectify their mistake and take her along to Paris.
He feels Caitlin Clark has the potential to elevate the WNBA to an altogether different level. Akin to the same effect the NBA had after they took the Dream Team to the Olympics in 1992. The WNBA could garner a lot of internation fans.
Caitlin Clark sells out All-Star jersey
Colin Cowherd has indicated that the WNBA still has not got a grip on the impact their rookie superstar has had. Selling out her jersey in record time after she was drafted. Indiana Fever average attendance increasing 4 fold due to her presence. Setting attendance and viewership records. All that said, generally the spotlight tends to fade after a while.
The same way it did after the WNBA had more than 2 million views the only time in their history before Clark came in. However, when her All-Star jersey sold out in 15 minutes flat, it proved that the luster is growing brighter by the day. Joe Pompliano reported the purchases left the Indiana Fever store with their fastest sale ever. In fact, her All-Star teammates jerseys have still not sold out.
The WNBA and Indiana Fever need to take stock of the moment. Caitlin Clark is continuing to improve by the game. Which means, the demand for anything with her name on it is only going to increase. She could transform the fortunes of the league faster than previously forecasted.
