Not everyone is onboard with Griffin’s theory
Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark
Robert Griffin III’s tweet about Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever’s victory over the Chicago Sky continues to make headlines.
The tweet came after the Fever got the better of the Sky for the second time this season, though most of the talk after the game was centered around Angel Reese and the flagrant foul she received for hitting Clark in the head.
That prompted RGIII to suggest that the attention being given to Reese and Clark is being used to incite a race war.
“Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are being used in a race war that is not fair to either athlete or the game of basketball,” RGIII wrote on X.
RGIII doubles down on tweet
The tweet was met with plenty of backlash, but that didn’t stop Griffin from continuing to push his suggestion, as he shared a screenshot of his tweet on Instagram.

He also added: “Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and the WNBA deserve better. Basketball fans, this is a safe space. Why do you think the discourse around Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and the WNBA is 99% about everything but the basketball being played?”
The post was met with plenty of reaction, with users pushing back on RGIII’s theory.
“CC has not said one bad remark or disparaged Reese in any way. Reese is fueling it by having not class and attacking CC every chance she gets to try and stay relevant,” wrote one user.
“Reese fuels it bud, let’s not overlook that,” added another.
A third wrote: “Race war=dudes arguing in the comments. Calm down everyone lol.”
Another user wrote: “Is Clark fouling her too? I only see the videos of Angel Reese fouling CC.”
RGIII isn’t the only personality to comment
The talk surrounding the two girls isn’t likely to stop anytime soon, with other personalities also weighing in, including Skip Bayless.
During Monday’s episode of ‘Undisputed’, he stated that Reese is becoming the villain by suggesting her foul on Clark was just a “basketball play”.
“I listen to her postgames and yeah, she’s become the villain. I don’t think she wants to be the villain, but she’s become the protagonist,” said Bayless.
“She’s the instigator. Her postgames reek a little bit of jealousy and bitterness. That’s how it comes across to me, but I don’t know. They’re still too young for to know for sure where they’re going to stand.”
