Caitlin Clark’s mom has yet to really speak out on her daughter’s non-inclusion on the Team USA roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics, but her social media activity highlights what she feels about the issue.

For those who missed it, Clark has been the talk of the sports world after it was revealed that she’s not part of the roster that will represent USA women’s basketball in the Paris games. While an official announcement has yet to be made, there is already a list of players who were reportedly selected—and Clark isn’t one of them.

Of course several fans and experts are calling out Team USA for the decision. Interestingly, Clark’s mom, Anne Nizzi-Clark, shared one of the critical takes about the snub and reposted it on her X (formerly Twitter) account.

“USA Basketball’s timing is terrible. Clark just made seven 3’s and scored 30 in front of the largest WNBA crowd in 17 years: 20,333 in DC, more than double the crowd Chicago drew the night before in the same arena,” Christine Brennan of USA Today opined, which Clark’s mom reposted.

Brennan said in a follow-up take: “It is true: Caitlin Clark, the biggest name in women’s basketball who has electrified record crowds while being named WNBA rookie of the month, has been left off the 2024 US Olympic women’s basketball team roster, three sources have told me. This confirms my overnight reporting.”

For what it’s worth, it’s not only the Clark matriarch who has expressed her thoughts on the issue through social media. Caitlin Clark’s younger brother, Colin, also liked several posts questioning the announcement.

Sure enough, Clark’s family is in full support of her amid the Olympics issue and hasn’t been shy in making their feelings clear. Hopefully, the Fever rookie addresses the matter soon as well.
