Robert Griffin III sure knows how to start a controversy. But this time, it’s one he might not be able to run from.
Just days after a racist graphic mocking Angel Reese surfaced online, the former ESPN analyst decided to post it. Not to condemn it, but to double down on his take that the Chicago Sky rookie “has grown to hate” Caitlin Clark. That quote alone gave a shock across social media, and it only got worse from there.
Instead of walking it back or taking accountability, Griffin poured more gas on the fire. He claimed people in Reese’s camp backed his statement. “People in Angel’s inner circle called me and told me I was right,” he wrote. Then came the kicker: “Some people made it about race, but I never did and never will.”
Griffin’s decision to repost the racist image and keep hammering the Reese-Clark narrative didn’t sit well with anyone. Fans were quick to call out the hypocrisy in claiming to support Reese while pushing a story that continues to feed racist attacks.
Alright. This has got to stop. There is no place for racism in this world. Whether you like a player or not. Angel Reese should never be called or depicted as a Monkey.

You’re such a loser, dawg. You’re claiming that racism is wrong yet in the same tweet you’re fueling a part of what is causing the racist attacks coming at Angel, which is the idea that she “hates” her when it’s just competitive basketball.
You don’t know her personally, and…

Another chimed in, “Your obsession with creating this narrative is quite sick at this point.”

A WNBA fan added, “So many racists come out on this app. It’s so depressing.”

The backlash hasn’t let up. With Griffin slated to join FOX Sports this fall after his ESPN exit earlier this year, fans are now pushing back hard. Many are calling on FOX to reconsider his spot on the roster.
Whether FOX responds or not remains to be...
