Former Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III jumped to his X account to accuse people of using WNBA stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reece as pawns in a “race war.”
In his Sunday post, Griffin claimed that both Clark and Chicago player Angel Reese are being used as stand-ins for this race war.
“Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are being used in a race war that is not fair to either athlete or the game of basketball,” he wrote.

Griffin did not specify who he felt was responsible for using Clark and Reese as pawns in a race war. However, the liberal take on the topic is that only white people can be racist.
Still, many noted that if there is any “race war,” it is being pushed by the sports media to focus on that issue so heavily just to get clicks and readers.
***A race war perpetuated by sports media***

It was on social media first, then when traditional media realized it was keeping eyes on the screen they ran with it. Kinda pathetic, but it shouldn’t be surprising from people like Stephen A

Others disagreed and said that Reese isn’t being “used” by anyone and is only a victim of her own thin-skinned, easily bruised ego.
Trouble is. Reese is constantly the instigator. Constantly.

Reese feeds the fire. She has a personal grudge against Clark. Is based on talent, elimination in the final four, or something else? Only Reese can answer those questions, but she needs to stop with the Bill Lambier style of play.
