Colin Cowherd slammed women’s basketball as ‘petty’ and ‘not ready’ for Caitlin Clark, criticizing the decision to snub her for the Olympics.
FS1’s Colin Cowherd labelled women’s basketball ‘petty’ for Caitlin Clark’s Olympic snub following the rookie’s performance during the WNBA All-Star game.
Over the weekend the No 1 overall pick showed her prowess once more as she led the WNBA All-Stars past the USA team she was shunned out of for the Paris games.
Behind the 117-109 win in Phoenix, Cowherd went on record and likened women’s hoops to men’s soccer in the United States.
‘They’re very much like men’s soccer in America,’ Cowherd said. ‘They’re a little petty, they’ve been ignored to a larger degree than other sports and they’ve got a chip on their shoulder. They’re sort of a ‘prove you belong.’
‘For the United States Men’s National team, the soccer fans, it’s like you have to have a passcode to even talk about the sport online. And for women’s basketball, it’s this constant [need to] prove you belong. Caitlin Clark belongs on the Olympic team.’

Clark’s popularity aside, Cowherd brought up how her ability to spread the floor would be beneficial to the team in France this summer.
During the All-Star game, Clark lead both sides in assists with 10 dimes despite a slow scoring performance. Meanwhile, Dallas Wings star Arike Ogunbowale tallied 34 points in the victory.
‘The more I watch Caitlin Clark, the more I’m convinced basketball is not quite ready,’ He said. ‘She is more than ready. She helped her WNBA All-Star team beat the USA Olympic team this weekend.’

‘She’s also, in my opinion, a perfect Olympic or All-Star player, especially Olympics. All-Star games are a little bit of showing off. But [in the] Olympics, you have to be a facilitator, not a ball hog. I would argue Clark passes too much.’
So far this season, Clark is averaging 17.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 8.2 assists as the Indiana Fever have emerged as a playoff team.
With 14 games left in a season with handprints of her popularity all over, Clark is also in a head-to-head race with Angel Reese for the Rookie of the Year honor.
‘The women’s Olympic team said: ‘You know if we put her on the team, there’s no question she’s gonna be a distraction.’ You know what’s a distraction? Her not [being] on the team.
