‘The Pivot’ Host Ryan Clark Apologizes After Dragging RGIII’s Wife Into Heated Debate: ‘I Was Out Of Bounds’

Ryan Clark is publicly apologizing after dragging Robert Griffin III’s wife into their heated debate over the Angel Reese–Caitlin Clark rivalry. On “The Pivot” podcast, Ryan Clark admitted he crossed a line:

“She should not have been brought up in me trying to make a point… She didn’t need to be the illustration of that.”

Ryan Clark initially criticized RGIII’s take on Angel Reese, accusing him of mocking a Black woman while being married to a white woman. “I did not love the optics… with his wife in the background almost as a prop,” Ryan said.

After RGIII fired back, calling the comments “cowardly, spineless, and weak,” Clark reflected: “If I had to address @RGIII again I wouldn’t include his wife… I was out of line, I was out of bounds, I apologize.”

Ryan concluded by urging others not to target Griffin’s family: “Even if you take my side… leave his family alone.”
