The ongoing WNBA season is filled with drama and controversy for fans. It started with Angel Reese being fined $1,000, and now Caitlin Clark is both gaining backlash and momentum due to her behavior. Her dynamic play style since being the first overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft has taken the league by storm.
Clark, known for her sharp shooting and precision passing, has become the main hope for the Indiana Fever. However, her rise to fame has not been without controversy.
In a game against the Chicago Sky, Clark found herself on the receiving end of a cheap shot from Chennedy Carter. In a related development, a series of new social media posts has shaken fans of former NFL star Robert Griffin III. His sentiments towards Clark have ranged from respect to disdain.

In just a few days, Griffin's stance on Caitlin Clark shifted suddenly. Initially, he praised the WNBA players' competitive nature as a sign of respect for Clark's talent.
Griffin on his X account tweeted, "Caitlin Clark has SUPERCHARGED Women’s Basketball. She is a STAR. The women in the @WNBA aren’t ‘hating’ on her. They are showing her respect by trying to beat her on the court." This suggested that the aggressive play Clark faced was merely part of the competitive spirit. It further reflects admiration for her.
However, after witnessing the unprovoked aggression from Carter, Griffin's tone changed sharply. Here’s it what he added.
What did Robert Griffin III say in a new tweet?
On June 2, the star later tweeted, "Okay, this IS HATING on Caitlin Clark. Face guarding, extremely aggressive play and the occasional hard foul can be described as competitiveness. Going out of your way to call her out of her name and body check her to the floor without the ball is HATING." This marked a significant reversal from his earlier statement. Firstly, he highlighted the excessive hostility that crossed the line from competitive respect to outright animosity.
