Former NFL players Robert Griffin III, nicknamed RG3, and Ryan Clark are in a war of words. Both landed in an online feud when RG3 commented on Caitlin Clark's flagrant foul against Angel Reese during the 2025 WNBA. The 29th season of the Women's National Basketball Association began in May and is set to end in September.
As Caitlin's foul against Angel prevented her from scoring, the whole matter escalated within a short period. While sports commentators shared their views and offered different perspectives on the matter, Robert Griffin, despite having nothing to do with basketball, went ahead and put forward his take on the matter.
After RG3 shared his views on the whole Caitlin-Angel foul issue, Ryan Clark responded to Robert Griffin quite strongly. The former footballers' feud took place on X (formerly Twitter). While Clark shared a video to confront RG3, Griffin wrote a post. Things took a different turn when Ryan referred to RG3's several marriages to white women, implying that those marriages turned him into an inadequate person to address the racial dynamics that were at play.
Robert Griffin III is married to Grete Griffin, with whom he shares four children: Gia, Reese, Gameya, and Gloria. According to Style, Grete is originally from Estonia, born in the town of Türi. She got her American citizenship in September 2022. The 31-year-old Grete, who attended Florida State University, is a heptathlete.
As per her LinkedIn profile, she is also the owner of a fitness brand called Glow Fitness. Besides being an entrepreneur and heptathlete, she also co-hosts her husband RG3's podcast, Outta Pocket with RG3, and is the executive director of the Robert Griffin Foundation. Robert and Grete met each other through Instagram in 2016 and tied the knot in March 2018 in Miami.
All about Ryan Clark's online feud with Robert Griffin III

As mentioned before, the whole feud began when Robert Griffin took to X (formerly Twitter) to comment on Caitlin's foul against Angel during their first game of the 2025 WNBA season. RG3 on X wrote:
"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. I know what hatred looks like. Angel Reese HATES Caitlin Clark. Not some basketball rivalry hate either. Hate."
In a clip from a recent episode of The Pivot podcast, which Ryan shared on X, he responded by saying:
"When RGIII jumps onto the hate train or the angry train, it now follows what we saw from Keith Olbermann, what we saw from Dave Portnoy, as they poured onto Angel Reese to make her the villain, and Caitlin Clark heroic or hero story. "
Ryan continued and said:
"The one thing we know about RG3 is he’s not having conversations at his home about what Black women have to endure in this country. About what young Black women and athletes like Angel Reese have had to deal with being on the opposite side of Caitlin Clark’s rise and ascension into stardom."
He further added:
"You haven’t had opportunities to have those conversations to educate you on what they’re feeling, what Black women deal with, what they’re seeing when they think of a young Angel Reese. And the whole time that he’s mimicking Angel Reese and bobbing his head and moving his neck while he’s doing this whole piece, his wife is in the back amening and clapping."
To which Robert Griffin replied:
"There's a line you don't cross in life and Ryan Clark sprinted past it. It is wildly inappropriate, wrong, and extremely low to weaponize and attack a person’s wife, marriage, and their family because you disagree with a sports take."
As the feud between the two former NFL footballers continues to get attention, Robert Griffin's wife, Grete, shared a TikTok video, which has now been deleted, slamming Ryan Clark. According to the Daily Mail, the caption of the now-deleted video read:
"When someone has something to say to my non-confrontational husband."
