Robert Griffin III makes Angel Reese blush again after her reaction to Caitlin Clark and brings Chennedy Carter into the picture

Caitlin Clark‘s dazzling triple-double during the Indiana Fever‘s 93-58 blowout win over the Chicago Sky should have been the defining moment of the WNBA‘s season opener. But as has often been the case with Clark and her chief rival Angel Reese, the spotlight shifted away from the basketball and onto controversy. T

his time, it stemmed from a third-quarter flagrant foul committed by Clark, and an emotionally charged reaction from Reese that instantly became a viral talking point.

Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III wasn’t shy about weighing in. During a recent episode of his podcast “Outta Pocket with RGIII,” he dissected the altercation and argued that Reese’s visible outburst confirmed what he’s long believed: that the Chicago forward harbors genuine animosity toward Caitlin Clark.

“You guys remember last year when Angel Reese celebrated Chennedy Carter getting that flagrant foul on the hip check against Caitlin Clark? You remember that?” Griffin asked. “On the sideline, just, yeah, baby, get her, you get her. Who celebrates like that for a flagrant foul on another player if they don’t dislike that player?”

Game Recap: Sky vs. Fever (5/17/25)

Griffin says Reese’s bias toward Clark is clear

Griffin’s argument hinged on what he described as inconsistent behavior from Reese depending on who’s involved.

He referenced a moment from the 2024 season when Reese was violently fouled by Alyssa Thomas of the Connecticut Sun – an incident that led to Thomas receiving a flagrant two and an automatic ejection. In that case, Reese remained relatively calm.

“So, where was this type of reaction last year, when Angel Reese got chokeslammed by Alyssa Thomas of the Connecticut Sun?” Griffin continued. “Y’all remember that? She got fouled so hard, they kicked Alyssa Thomas out the game with a flagrant two foul. What did Angel Reese do? Nothing. She didn’t get up and try to swing on her.”

According to Griffin, Reese’s comparatively tame response to a more dangerous hit – contrasted with her escalation of what he called a “routine” foul by Clark – highlights what he views as personal disdain toward the Indiana star.

WATCH: Charles Barkley holes out for incredible eagle at American Century Championship

Barkley's shot -- which was 88 yards from the hole -- hit the back of the green before spinning back and falling into the bottom of the cup. Barkley's front-nine also included a birdie on the par-3 seventh hole. He finished his round T24.  "The crowd was going crazy. It was unbelievable. It's been a great day," Barkley told NBC Sports. "I'm having so much fun. I've been working so hard on my game. ... I'm really happy with today. Extremely happy."Barkley, 62, entered the tournament with the longest odds to win at 7,500-1.
