Report: ESPN colleagues want Ryan Clark disciplined over Robert Griffin III comments

Ryan Clark has come under fire for some comments he made about Robert Griffin III and the former quarterback’s family this week, and there are reportedly people at ESPN who want Clark to be disciplined over the remarks.

Griffin took to social media over the weekend to share his thoughts on the latest tense exchange between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. Caitlin Clark committed a hard foul on Reese during Saturday’s game between the Chicago Sky and Indiana Fever, and Reese immediately confronted her rival over it (video here). The foul was upgraded to a flagrant.

In a post on X and video clip he shared, RG3 explained why he thinks Reese genuinely hates Caitlin Clark. He said Reese’s behavior toward the Fever star looks like pure hatred and that the animosity is good for the WNBA. Some fans were critical of Griffin’s take, but Ryan Clark brought RG3’s family dynamics into the discussion.

Ryan Clark makes it personal

While hosting the “Pivot” podcast, Ryan Clark accused Griffin of becoming part of the “hate train” by portraying Reese as the “villain” and Caitlin Clark the “hero story.”

“If you’re RG3, when is the last time in your household you have had a conversation about what she’s dealing with? You haven’t been able to do that because, in both of your marriages, you’ve been married to white women,” Clark said. “You haven’t had opportunities to have those conversations to educate you on what they’re feeling, what Black women deal with, what they’re seeing when they think of a young Angel Reese.”

Ryan Clark also noted how Griffin’s wife, Grete, was in the background when RG3 made a video discussing the rivalry between Reese and Caitlin Clark.
