Former Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III accused people of using WNBA stars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reece as pawns in a "race war." Griffin claimed that both Clark and Reese are being used unfairly in this race war, without specifying who is responsible. The discourse around Clark, Reese, and the WNBA has been heavily focused on issues other than basketball. Reese's foul on Clark during a game sparked controversy, with some labeling Reese as a "thug" on social media. Despite differing opinions, the correct call was made during the game, according to Fever coach Christie Sides. Clark and Reese have a history dating back to their college days, with Clark holding a 3-1 record against Reese. Reese's LSU Tigers defeated Clark's Hawkeyes in the 2023 NCAA title game.
