In a recent outburst that has sparked widespread debate, David Portnoy, the outspoken founder of Barstool Sports and known as El Presidente, has lambasted Team USA for its decision to exclude WNBA rookie sensation Caitlin Clark from the Olympic roster. Portnoy’s fiery critique centers on the missed opportunity to capitalize on Clark’s burgeoning popularity and potential to elevate the sport of women’s basketball.
Portnoy did not mince words in his condemnation. “Leaving Caitlin Clark off the Olympic team is a colossal mistake,” he declared. “This isn’t just about her incredible skills on the court; it’s about what she represents for the future of women’s basketball. The league had a golden opportunity to draw in new fans and grow the sport, and they blew it.”
