Robert Griffin III Condemns Racist Attacks on WNBA Star Angel Reese

News summary

Robert Griffin III publicly condemned a racist social media post that depicted WNBA star Angel Reese as a monkey following her NBA 2K26 cover reveal, emphasizing that racism has no place in sports or society. Despite past tensions between Griffin and Reese, including Griffin's commentary on her rumored dislike of fellow WNBA player Caitlin Clark, he made clear that his criticism was about basketball and never racially motivated. Reese responded by accusing Griffin of lying about having spoken to her inner circle regarding her feelings about Clark, which Griffin denied, urging her to "tighten up her circle" instead of attacking him. Griffin also revealed he had previously remained silent on Reese due to threats made to his family after a video she shared. Reese's mother joined the discussion, challenging Griffin's credibility and defending her daughter's close-knit circle. Both parties highlighted the importance of separating sports opinions from personal attacks and racism, with Griffin's central message condemning racial dehumanization against Black athletes like Reese.
