The two athletes-turned-commentators first got into a disagreement over WNBA players Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. However, the hostility is now at an all-time high after Ryan claimed that Griffin does not understand the hardships of black women since he is married to a white woman.

Former NFL All-Pro running back Le'Veon Bell responded to Ryan on X.

"I don’t get Ryan Clark’s problem. He makes comments about RG3 having a white wife, like he didn’t have a kid with a white woman. I just don’t get it. What is REALLY his issue?" Bell tweeted on Tuesday.

Bell was a teammate of Clark with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2013, the former safety's last season with the team. Bell played for Pittsburgh from 2013 to 2017.

The forme running back attempted to reveal that Clark fathered a child with a white woman while condemning another black man for marrying a white woman. However, it has not been confirmed if Clark had a child with a white woman.

Clark's remarks regarding Griffin have drawn criticism from all sides. Some of Clark's ESPN colleagues reportedly want him punished for his comments regarding the personal life of the former quarterback.
