OutKick host Dan Dakich calls the expected decision to leave WNBA star Caitlin Clark off the women’s basketball roster for the Paris Olympics a « missed opportunity » as she draws attention to the sport.
The expected snub of Caitlin Clark from the U.S. Olympic women’s basketball roster for the summer games is a « missed opportunity, » Dan Dakich, host of OutKick’s « Don’t @ Me, » said Sunday.
« They could have had more eyeballs on women’s basketball, which would have equated to going back to your season and finishing up even stronger, but now it’s just same old, same old. No one’s going to pay attention, and that’s a missed opportunity, and a really dumb missed opportunity, » he told co-host Will Cain on « Fox & Friends Weekend. »
His comments came on the heels of a report from The Athletic saying the Indiana Fever star would be left off the final roster for the 2024 Paris summer games.
After being named to the national team’s 14-person roster for training camp in Cleveland, Ohio, in early April, she was unable to attend USA Basketball’s training camp because she was focused on playing for the Iowa Hawkeyes in the NCAA tournament.
