Fox Sports analyst and former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III (RG3) is facing significant backlash over his recent commentary surrounding Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. After reposting a racist graphic of Reese and claiming someone in her “inner circle” told him she “hates” Clark, Griffin was widely criticized.
I spoke up in support of Angel Reese against racism not to start drama. But I won’t let anyone twist the truth just because it’s inconvenient to them. Instead of trying to check me, just tighten up your circle. They calling me and saying you hate Caitlin Clark, not the other way…

Former Giant accuses RG3 of “race-baiting”
One of the most forceful critiques came from Brandon London, a former New York Giants player and Super Bowl ring holder. In a passionate takedown, London accused Griffin of “aura farming,” race-baiting, and exploiting Reese for attention. He challenged Griffin to produce evidence or “shut the f*** up,” saying his behavior is gaslighting and disingenuous.
Here’s exactly what he said:
“I will say this in the most respectful way I can, but can someone tell RG3 to shut the f*** up when it comes to talking about Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark? You’re aura farming, bro,” said London. “And we are tired of the race-baitingor you thinking that you are about to save the world or save sports from racism by constantly bringing up Angel Reese’s name”

“What did this girl do to you, bro? She’s like 20-something years old and you continue to tweet about her and talk about her. For what?”
“You say … someone close to Angel Reese called you and told you that Angel Reese hates Caitlin Clark because of all the media attention that Caitlin Clark gets. Angel Reese has called cap on that. Angel Reese’s mom has called you out on that,” London said. “So either you pull receipts and drop someone’s name, address, Twitter handle, I don’t care. Either you … show us, or bro, just be quiet.”
“The race-baiting is getting on our nerves,” London went on. “And I’m calling you out for it because you are the one that is fueling the flames, you’re the one that is gaslighting. And then don’t try to be some sort of victim because ‘people come at you and you’re (just) giving your opinion.’ Stop that, man.”
The controversy highlights ongoing tensions in sports media, particularly around race, gender, and influencer culture.
