ESPN’s Ryan Clark accused fellow commentator Robert Griffin III of being ignorant of what black women “have to endure” because Griffin married a white woman.
The back-and-forth began when Griffin spoke about last weekend’s Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever game, in which Caitlin Clark was given a flagrant foul call against Chicago’s Angel Reese. But Griffin said that he thinks it is obvious that Reese “hates” Caitlin Clark.
“After watching Caitlin Clark’s flagrant foul on Angel Reese and the aftermath, there is no way Angel Reese can continue the lie that she doesn’t dislike Caitlin Clark. I know what hatred looks like. Angel Reese HATES Caitlin Clark. Not some basketball rivalry hate either. Hate,” Griffin wrote in a May 17 Facebook post.
Griffin’s conclusion set off Ryan Clark, who accused Griffin of cooperating with racists.
In a video posted to X, Clark went on a tear against Griffin.

“If you’re RG3, when is the last time within your household you’ve had a conversation about what [Angel Reese is] dealing with? You haven’t been able to do that because in both of your marriages, you’ve been married to white women,” he added.

“{snip} Add him to the list of black men who’ve adopted the corny trend of denigrating black women to affirm their choices,” Griffin added.

“Attacking Reese multiple times in order to gain favor from his desired crowd won’t help RGII blend in more. ‘Echoing the microaggressions of a racist won’t make him any less black than me,’” he concluded.
