After a heated exchange between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese in the Indiana Fever’s 93-58 win over the Chicago Sky on Saturday, Robert Griffin III claimed Reese “hates” Clark.
Not everybody was a fan of that statement. On the latest episode of The Pivot Podcast, Ryan Clark chastised Griffin for his accusation.
“RGIII saying he could recognize ‘hate when ‘he’ see(s) it,’ when referring to Angel Reese’s feelings toward Caitlin Clark was irresponsible, but not at all surprising,” Clark wrote on X.
“Clark’s the biggest star in women’s basketball, & deservedly so. No need to beat up Reese to add shine to it.
“RGIII plays into the narrative that Reese is the villain of Clark’s hero origin story. Now, Oberman & Portnoy, who berated Reese in college, have an ally in Griffin. Add him to the list of black men who’ve adopted the corny trend of denigrating black women to affirm their choices.
“Attacking Reese multiple times in order to gain favor from his desired crowd won’t help RGII blend in more. ‘Echoing the micro aggressions of racist won’t make him any less black than me.’”
Reese took exception when Clark committed a Flagrant 1 foul on her in the third quarter. Rees tried to go after Clark, but Fever center Aliyah Boston made sure to step in.
Reese and Boston were each assessed technical fouls.
Clark took his comments about Robert Griffin to the next level when he invoked his family into it.
On X, the former NFL quarterback posted a lengthy response to Clark, who said that Griffin is on the “list of black men who’ve adopted the corny trend of denigrating black women to affirm their choices.”
“Ryan Clark didn’t like my take on Angel Reese hating Caitlin Clark. That’s fine,” Griffin wrote.
“Disagreement is part of the game. But instead of debating my point, he personally attacked me and my family. That shows how low of person he is. I gave a sports opinion: I said Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark, based on repeated, visible actions on the court and in press conferences. I backed it up with five separate examples from the game of basketball because that’s what I do. I analyze sports. I stay in the arena. Just because Angel Reese is Black doesn’t mean that her game and actions can not be critiqued.
At the end of the post, Robert Griffin wrote, “Disagree with me all you want. Challenge my take. But keep my family and wife out of it.
That’s a boundary that should always be respected. Ryan Clark personally attacking me and my family personally over a sports opinion is cowardly, spineless, and weak. Ryan Clark personally attacking me and my family personally over a sports opinion is a bad look for ESPN and for him as a man.”
There’s a line you don’t cross in life and Ryan Clark sprinted past it.

What Robert Griffin Said About Angel Reese
Robert Griffin III gave a strong opinion about the rivalry between Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark.
RGIII shared his input on X shortly after the game and the altercation between the two.
“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,” Griffin wrote.
“I know what hatred looks like.”
Clark denied that she was trying to be “malicious” towards Reese.
Reese later confirmed that it was a “basketball play” and wanted to move on.
The conversation online has taken it to another level, and Griffin is not helping.

Former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo is not the most popular guy on TV. That much was apparent while he was calling the Wild Card game between the Broncos and Bills for CBS on Sunday.
Romo, who has done very little to hide how much he admires Buffalo QB Josh Allen, had some praise for the MVP favorite while he was attempting to take his team to the Divisional Round.
Some fans felt like he was being overly gracious, while some simply couldn’t stand him talking in general.
“STFU AGAIN ROMO!!!!!!!!! I’M TIRED OF YOUR BILLS AND CHIEFS GLAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU’RE SICKENING ASF!!!!!!!!!!” an X user wrote.
“Can we start a petition to ban Romo from calling games,” another asked.
“Can Tony Romo get off his kneees for Josh Allen?” someone else chimed in.
“Tv muted when romo starts talking,” a fan claimed.
Tony Romo’s Partner Reached Impressive Milestone
While Romo was getting slammed, his broadcast colleague touched an impressive milestone.
Jim Nantz has been with CBS for over 40 years and reached his 500th game with the network calling Sunday’s fixture.
Nantz and Romo have been working together for seven of those 40 years.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.
In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.
“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.
Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
