Robert Griffin III accused Angel Reese of hating Caitlin Clark
Robert Griffin III recently grabbed headlines and went viral after making a bold statement on social media. The former NFL quarterback openly accused Angel Reese of harboring animosity toward Caitlin Clark, following the Chicago Sky forward's intense reaction to Clark’s hard foul in an earlier matchup against the Indiana Fever.
"After watching Caitlin Clark’s flagrant foul on Angel Reese and the aftermath, there is no way Angel Reese can continue the lie that she doesn’t dislike Caitlin Clark," Griffin tweeted. "I know what hatred looks like. Angel Reese HATES Caitlin Clark. Not some basketball rivalry hate either. Hate."
Clark and Reese are two of the biggest stars in the WNBA, and their rivalry has taken women’s basketball to an entirely new level. While their arrival in the league has brought countless positives, it has also sparked some negative discourse, with fans and pundits often fueling tension by trying to create animosity between the two.
