Robert Griffin III has been out of pocket all summer time, based on some sports activities followers. However now, he has Shaquille O’Neal out for him after he shared an insulting picture in reference to WNBA star Angel Reese. And O’Neal held no punches about it… for now.
In Could, the Indiana Fever confronted off in opposition to the Chicago Sky. Fever participant Caitlin Clark obtained a flagrant foul on Reese within the third quarter. RG III checked out how Reese responded to being fouled and posted a video on X (along with his white spouse Grete Griffin sitting within the background egging him on) the place he stated Reese clearly “hated” Clark.
Ryan Clark didn’t like that. He stated that RG III was catering to white individuals and the truth that RG is married to a white girl solely illustrates that Griffin is disconnected from the expertise of Black girls.
Griffin clapped again. (It was Travis Scott “CHAMPAIN & VACAY” degree clapback. Which means hardly one in any respect.)
Issues settled down after that. Ryan Clark apologized for mentioning the previous NFL participant’s spouse (despite the fact that he didn’t assault Mrs. Griffin personally) and all of us thought it was over. However it wasn’t.
RG III was again at it once more when he posted a picture of Reese as a monkey on the duvet of NBA 2K26.
OK. Let me break down why him posting it is a PROBLEM.
RG III tweeted this picture and stated that he hated it. But, he undermines all that he stated by posting the racist image and drawing consideration to it. Had he not carried out that, nobody would have seen it. It will have disappeared like most of the different racist issues individuals put up in locations like 4Chan or Fact Social. The truth that he tweeted it’s what drew much more consideration to the derogatory picture.
And that is the place O’Neal enters the chat. He pulled no punches when addressing the previous Baylor quarterback who by no means amounted to a lot within the NFL.
There are two issues from that video price highlighting. One: He stated that he personally advised Angel Reese to not publicly reply to Griffin. The NBA Corridor Of Fame inducted participant is aware of a factor or two about dealing with criticism, so she ought to heed his recommendation. Two: he eliminated his sun shades, appeared instantly within the digicam, and stated with all of his 7’1, 365 pound chest that he would punch RG III within the face if he does something like this once more.
Clark was diplomatic and measured in how he responded to his former coworker at ESPN. O’Neal…not a lot.
RG III higher sign off earlier than he catches a two piece from O’Neal. And I’m not speaking about Popeyes.
