Donald Trump and Elon Musk feud turns ugly as NFL stars like Robert Griffin III and Ryan Clark become unlikely pawns
The Trump-Musk feud took an unexpected turn when former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III (Getty Images) What started as a political alliance between Donald Trump and Elon Musk has morphed into a bitter feud—but it's the NFL community that's now hijacked the narrative. After Musk publicly attacked Trump's spending bill and Trump clapped back with personal jabs, the internet exploded with takes. But when former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III (RG3) stepped into the fray, things took an unexpected turn toward the gridiron. RG3's sports analogy request backfires in real-time 'Give me the Elon Musk vs. Donald Trump beef in Sports Terms only,' Robert Griffin III posted on X (formerly Twitter), assuming the internet would drop clever NBA or MLB references. Instead, fans turned the spotlight on him. 'You vs. Ryan Clark,' one user replied—instantly reviving RG3's own ugly history with former Steelers safety and ESPN analyst Ryan Clark. What was supposed to be a fun sports take on a political feud quickly morphed into a resurfacing of NFL beefs that never fully healed. Revisiting the RG3-Ryan Clark drama: race, respect, and resentment The Clark-RG3 tension originally ignited when Griffin criticized LSU star Angel Reese for how she handled her rivalry with Caitlin Clark. Ryan Clark didn't mince words, essentially accusing Griffin of lacking empathy for Black women because of his own life choices—particularly his interracial marriages. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo 'You can't understand the lived experience,' Clark said, igniting a firestorm. RG3 fired back hard, saying Clark crossed a personal line by dragging his wife into it. Clark then doubled down, calling RG3 'phony' and one of the worst teammates he'd ever had, both in the locker room and on TV. Though Clark later apologized for referencing Griffin's wife, the two have yet to publicly bury the hatchet. Fans weren't done. Others compared the Trump-Musk meltdown to Tyreek Hill praising Tua Tagovailoa over Patrick Mahomes, a dig that drew sharp reactions in NFL circles. Some said the closest match was the Kobe vs. Shaq feud—two larger-than-life forces who accomplished greatness, only to implode under the weight of ego and ambition.

Netizens call for Ryan Clark's removal from ESPN amid Robert Griffin III beef: ‘He's inciting violence! Fire him!'
The Ryan Clark and Robert Griffin III controversy has reached a new peak, as netizens are currently demanding that Clark be fired from ESPN. This idea was sparked after the sporting analysts' differences with regards to the Angel Reese–Caitlin Clark controversy. While RG III asserts that Reese 'hates' Caitlin Clark, Ryan completely disagrees. Instead, he took a dig at Robert, saying that RG3 "lacks understanding about the struggles of Black women", considering the fact that he has always married white women. Ryan even took to social media to post a video of the podcast where he made his statements, with a caption that says,"RGIII saying he could recognize 'hate when 'he' see(s) it', when referring to Angel Reese's feelings toward Caitlin Clark was irresponsible, but not at all surprising. Clark's the biggest star in women's basketball, & deservedly so. No need to beat up Reese to add shine to it." "RGIII plays into the narrative that Reese is the villain of Clark's hero origin story. Now, Oberman & Portnoy, who berated Reese in college, have an ally in Griffin. Add him to the list of black men who've adopted the corny trend of denigrating black women to affirm their choices. Attacking Reese multiple times in order to gain favor from his desired crowd won't help RGII blend in more. Echoing the micro-aggressions of racist won't make him any less black than me," he continued. Netizens erupted following the controversy, sharing their opinions on social media. While many supported the fact that Clark should be fired from ESPN, others offeredtheir support.

Others called for his immediate firing. Some social media users said that Clark is entitled to his opinion, while also stating that his statements were quite 'off the mark'. A user wrote, 'Not sure what's up with Clark? He seems to have some deep-rooted anger issues tied to race.'
