ESPN’s current slogan is “Serving Fans. Anytime. Anywhere.” However, one of their hosts is currently facing some major backlash over what fans are calling blatant racism on national television.
“You’re Married To White Women” ESPN Facing Massive Racism On Live TV; Fans Demand Firing
Ryan Clark seems to have worn out his welcome among football fans:
Over the weekend, former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III stated that Angel Reese “hates” Caitlin Clark. His comments came after Clark took a swipe at Reese and was assessed a flagrant foul.
Midway through the third quarter, Clark reacted strongly after what she believed was a foul on her teammate, Natasha Howard. Clark made hard contact with Reese, knocking her to the floor.
Reese was heated and tried to go at her before she was stopped.
Griffin III reignited the Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark controversy, expressing his belief in Reese lying about her hatred for Caitlin.
His opinion didn’t sit well with Clark, who didn’t hold back in calling out the former quarterback-turned-analyst. He took things to the next level when he brought up RG3’s marriage to Grete Griffin.
“When RG3 jumps onto the hate train or the angry train, it now follows what we saw from Keith Olbermann,” Clark said while speaking on “The Pivot Podcast.
“What we saw from Dave Portnoy as they poured onto Angel Reese to make her the villain, and Caitlin Clark the heroic or hero story.
“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.”
Clark’s comment about Griffin’s conversations at home was an apparent reference to the 35-year-old’s marriage to Grete Griffin, who is an Estonian heptathlete.
“If you’re RG3, when is the last time within your household you’ve had a conversation about what [Angel Reese is] dealing with?” Clark asked. “You haven’t been able to do that because in both of your marriages, you’ve been married to white women.
“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.”
“@espn Fire Ryan Clark, there’s no room for racism in sports,” one fan demanded.
“Here’s your daily reminder that Clark is an uneducated clown who doesn’t deserve a job. Analysts are supposed to provide expert knowledge. What does Ryan Clark even do?” one fan asked.
“Ryan Clark deserves to be fired because he’s more interested in race-baiting than analysis. This ain’t his first rodeo,” a third fan stated.
“Why hasn’t @espn fired Ryan Clark? He does nothing but bring controversy and negative headlines and drag down their ratings and reputation,” a fourth person wrote.
