Colin Cowherd delivered a strong message regarding Caitlin Clark’s exclusion from the Team USA roster for the Paris Olympics, a decision that has sparked controversy among fans and analysts. The rookie from the Indiana Fever had been gaining significant traction, and her omission from the Olympic team has been a hot topic, especially given her recent performance and the Fever’s resurgence.
On Monday’s episode of *The Herd*, Cowherd drew a comparison between Clark and Taylor Swift to illustrate his point. He noted that just as Swift’s Eras Tour overwhelmed Ticketmaster with its unprecedented demand, women’s basketball seems to have been unprepared for Clark’s impact.
“Women’s basketball just didn’t quite know how to handle Caitlin Clark,” Cowherd said. “It reminds me a little bit of when Taylor Swift became a billionaire with the Eras Tour and the management team, Ticketmaster had to apologize. In 10 minutes, they couldn’t supply enough tickets. They were completely overwhelmed. And I think that’s what women’s basketball was with Caitlin Clark.”
Cowherd also criticized the selection process, suggesting it was driven by politics rather than merit. He pointed out that similar political dynamics have influenced the men’s team selections, citing the exclusion of Jaylen Brown and Kyrie Irving due to Nike’s influence.
He argued, “You’re not gonna put Caitlin Clark, your Taylor Swift, on the team? Well, she sells out her All-Star jersey in 17 minutes, she’s exploding as a player, she leads the WNBA in assists, she’s third in 3-pointers made, Indiana has won eight of 12. Yesterday was a prime example of where she is in the fourth quarter, best player on the court.”
Cowherd’s remarks underscore the growing debate over Clark’s omission and the broader implications of team selection politics in sports.
