"She has been used as a pawn" - Ryan Clark apologises to his family after dragging his "biracial" daughter Jaden into RG III beef

Former NFL star Ryan Clark has issued a formal apology following his online beef with Robert Griffin III. During the feud, Clark took some personal shots at Griffin by bringing his family and marriage into the equation.

A few days after Griffin accused Clark of stepping out of line, Clark apologized, saying he didn't need to use the former quarterback's wife to prove his point.

Ryan Clark also apologized to his family and children, including his daughter Jaden, for dragging them into this feud.

"As I end this I need to apologize to my family. Yonka, Jaden, Jordan & Loghan I am sorry. Until this week I didn't realize how much you defend me & deal with the fall out of my stuff....Yonka has been dragged the entire week, & Jaden, who we raised in our home, has been used as a pawn.

"Yonka didn't deserve what happened to her this week. She's a beautiful woman who devoted her life to our family.....She raised Jaden as her own from the age of 4, & shown up for all 3 of our babies 100% of the time....I'll do better guys."

In a previous tweet from May 21, Clark poured out his feelings for his firstborn, Jaden, in response to her racial background. He wrote,

"I didn’t know this was news, but since other people want to talk about her… This is my first born Jaden. My God she’s beautiful. All of her!..."

Clark added, "Maybe, the news in light of this week is that she’s biracial. So? She is a perfect part of my God given experience, & the sum of those experiences make me who I am!"

Ryan Clark and Robert Griffin III shared the field as professional players back in the day. They both were part of the Washington Redskins roster during the 2014 season.

How did the feud between Ryan Clark and RGIII start?

The online beef started when Robert Griffin III posted about how WNBA star Angel Reese 'hates' Caitlin Clark. This came after their showdown last week in which the Indiana star committed a flagrant foul on Reese, prompting an aggressive response.

Clark responded to RGIII's tweet with a personal comment, seemingly alluding to the fact that Griffin is married to a white woman.

"Add him to the list of black men who have adopted the corny trend of denigrating black women to affirm their choices."

The back and forth continued for several days before Clark's latest public apology.
