Former Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III took to his X account to accuse WNBA stars Kaitlyn Clark and Angel Reese of using them as pawns in a “race war.”
In a post Sunday, Griffin argued that both Clark and Chicago player Angel Reese are being used as stand-ins in this race war.
“Kaitlyn Clark and Angel Reese are being used in a race war that is not fair to either athlete or the game of basketball,” he wrote.
Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are being used in a race war that is unfair to both athletes and the game of basketball.

Griffin did not say who he thought was to blame for using Clark and Reese as pawns in a race war, but the liberal view on the issue is that only white people can be racist.
Still, many pointed out that if there is a “race war,” there is just pressure on sports media to focus heavily on that issue simply to get more clicks and readership.
***The Race War Perpetuated by Sports Media***

First it was social media, then traditional media took notice and spread it around as they noticed our attention on screens. It’s kind of pathetic, but not surprising for people like Steven A.

Exactly lol are they that delusional? These people go on ESPN 364 days a year hyping up the race and then claiming it’s cheating

Others disagreed, saying Reese wasn’t being “taken advantage” of anyone, but was simply a victim of her own sensitive and vulnerable ego.
The problem is, Reese has always been the instigator. Always.

Reese is adding fuel to the fire. She has a personal grudge against Clark. Is it because of her talent, her Final Four loss, or something else? Only Reese can answer these questions, but she needs to stop playing Bill Laimbeer-esque.

Angel Reese got what she deserves. Clark is just minding his own business.

The difference is that Angel Reese is a sassy, classless asshole.
