The former NFL star, Robert Griffin III, said Thursday that someone from Chicago star Sky Angel Reese “Inner Circle” told him that WNBA striker “hates” Caitlin Clark.
Griffin wrote several paragraphs on social networks, for the first time in defense of Reese after a racist image of his 2K26 NBA appeared. He said that “there was no place for racism in the world” and that he recesses “should never be called or represented as a monkey”
He added that he was silent about Reese due to the hatred that he and his family received in the most recent speech in May after a controversial moment between the two stars of the WNBA.

“That will never be fine for me. I never attacked his family when I said and supported with clear basketball evidence that Angel reese hates Caitlin Clark. They are sports. Everyone will not like it,” he added. “The people of Angel’s intimate circle called me and told me that he was right, and Angel Reese has grown up to hate Caitlin Clark because the media always ask about Caitlin and that he constantly compared to her.
“Some people reached the race, but I never did and never did. Instead of becoming the villain in anyone’s history, I decided not.
Reese seemed to respond to Griffin’s comments in a separate publication.
“Having in this application when everyone knows everyone’s first and surname in my circle for influence is an unpleasant job,” he wrote.
Reese’s mother also said that Griffin was lying about talking to the interior circle of the basketball player. “

“Whoever says” called “U is not in his circle 2 speaks about his feelings towards a media beef/fandom invented,” he wrote. “Just stay on that side because the doors are closed here.”
Griffin shot back.
“I talked in support of Angel Reese against racism not to start drama,” he wrote in X. “But I will not let anyone twist just because it is inconvenient for them. Instead of trying to check me, just squeeze your circle.
“They call me and tell you that you hate Caitlin Clark, not vice versa. I have zero interest in being the villain in the history of anyone. I just want to have fun, tell the truth and celebrate sports. But I will not pretend or lie just to protect the feelings.”
Griffin made the initial statement that he “hates” Clark after the stars of heaven and fever got into a heated skirmish in May.
