Former NFL player Ryan Clark issued an apology to Robert Griffin III to bring his wife into a debate about Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark earlier this week.
Griffin said in a social media post that Reese “hates” Clark. After the post, Clark suggested that RG3 “does not have conversations at home about what black women have to endure in this country,” Given that his wife is white.
“It all started over an Angel Reese, which he felt was a sports recording that I didn’t feel like that. I felt it was away from the court, I felt it was away from basketball …” Clark said in a recent YouTube post. “I took a roof that was personal for another person and did it personally for myself, and I shouldn’t have done that.”

Clark admitted his personal feelings, and apparently earlier beef with Griffin “played a role in how I felt.”
“I wanted to defend a young black woman who ended up being an attack on him, he felt, or at least he said an attack on his family. And that was never the case or never for that,” Clark said.
“She shouldn’t have been brought up in me to try to make a point about how having black women close to you and the things you learn from them can help you the way you approach and talk to, and about them. She didn’t have to be the illustration of it. I can talk positively about what they are without

“Grat was I out of line. I was out of bounds. I apologize. To all the people who dislike RG’s take or take, or the way he moves, or even if you just, in this conversation, take my side and want to support me, leave his family alone … families should be out of bounds. I started it by bringing her in way.”
Clark made the comment while calling Griffin to book “The Hate Train” after Reese’s Scuffle with Clark over the weekend while doing Clark “heroic.”
Sage Steele, who, like Griffin, is a former ESPN colleague, called Clark’s word against Griffin “Classless, Split, Grove, (and) unnecessary.” Steele and Clark have had problems in the past, even coming to a point where Clark asked the producers to have someone other than Steele host a segment after previous comments she had made about former President Barack Obama.

Griffin later said Clark’s comments showed “How low a person is he.”
