Former NFL star Ryan Clark went thermonuclear on fellow ex-footballer Robert Griffin III for his extraordinarily disparaging remarks aimed toward WNBA star Angel Reese.

The explosive argument occurred after RGIII stated that he doesn’t care what Angel Reese says publicly, he declared authoritatively that Reese hates Clark.
“Guys, it’s so apparent that Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark,” Griffin stated in a video posted on Twitter. His spouse, who’s White, is sitting within the background as Griffin goes off on Reese, a Black girl.
“I do know what hatred appears to be like like. Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark. Not some basketball rivalry hate, both. Hate,” he stated vehemently and repeatedly.

Ryan, who regardless of his surname isn’t associated to Caitlin, took nice exception to RGIII’s feedback and clapped again on his “Pivot” podcast, saying that RGIII doesn’t sympathize with Reese’s plight of being continuously attacked as a result of he’s married to a White girl.
“The one factor we find out about RG3 is he’s not having conversations at his dwelling about what Black girls must endure on this nation, about what younger Black girls and athletes like Angel Reese have needed to take care of being on the alternative facet of Caitlin Clark’s rise and ascension into stardom,” Ryan Clark stated in a video on Twitter.
Ryan Clark and Robert Griffin III have been teammates with Washington in 2014. Later, the 2 have been co-workers at ESPN from 2021-2024.

You haven’t been in a position to try this, as a result of in each of your marriages you’ve been married to White girls,” Ryan stated about RGIII.

Griffin continued, saying, “Disagree with me all you need. Problem my take. However preserve my household and spouse out of it. That’s a boundary that ought to at all times be revered. Ryan Clark personally attacking me and my household personally over a sports activities opinion is cowardly, spineless, and weak.”

Clark added that he “saved” RGIII on ESPN’s “Monday Night time Soccer” present.
“I urged individuals to allow you to be you. Regardless of how corny, how dangerous a teammate you have been I had your again,” Clark stated. “What did you do? Invite somebody in your present you recognize I don’t idiot with to ask questions on me, after which hit me weeks later to inform me you’re gonna problem one in every of my takes!”
