WNBA players voted Caitlin Clark as the ninth best guard in the league in the recent All-Star voting results, a ranking that has sparked widespread discussion and criticism among sports commentators. The ranking has been interpreted by some as an expression of jealousy or animosity within the league toward Clark. Additionally, a controversy involving WNBA star Angel Reese and former NFL player Robert Griffin III (RG3) has drawn attention. Ryan Clark, a former NFL player and sports analyst, criticized RG3 for posting an image depicting Reese as a monkey, calling it racist and questioning RG3's support for the Black community. Clark also suggested that RG3's background and political affiliations influence his stance. The debate has prompted public responses, including commentary from Martin Luther King Jr.'s daughter, highlighting the ongoing tensions surrounding these figures in sports media.

Ryan Clark accuses RG3 of having a fascination with Angel Reese. Doesn’t Ryan Clark have one too? He’s elected himself Reese’s bodyguard. He’s just chasing the same clout as all other content creators, same as me. https://t.co/TOo4STxuMs
