Former NFL star Robert Griffin III is at war with social media over the race of his children.

Griffin III had finally had enough of the criticism toward Black men after Fox News projected former President Donald Trump to defeat Vice President Kamala Harris in the election.

“Black Men do support Black Women. Stop tearing down and blaming black men for everything under the sun when it comes to Black Women,” he wrote on X.

He received thousands of responses, as more than 3.4 million people have seen that tweet.

One person asked him what Black women he supported, and that is when he posted a picture of him with his daughters.

Some of the responses from that photo stood out, and Robert Griffin III had to respond to them.

In an almost 5-minute video, Griffin touched on people firing back at him by bringing up the fact that he married and had children with a white woman.

Grete Griffin, Robert Griffin’s wife, couldn’t just sit back and watch social media blast her husband, so she jumped in.

Grete decided to use social media’s logic against them by mentioning that if biracial children aren’t black, then Barack Obama wasn’t the first black President since he is biracial and has a white mother.

Mic drop.

 

Robert Griffin III Responds To Ignorance With Class

Former NFL QB Griffin III found himself being blasted online after he made it known that Black men do indeed support Black women.

As usual, social media went low, and decided to either call him out of his name or mention he had children.

Instead of fighting ignorance with more ignorance, Robert Griffin III answered back with class and facts.

High School Football Star Noah Knigga Had To Teach Robert Griffin III The Correct Pronunciation Of His Risky Last Name (VIDEO)

Indiana high school athlete Noah Knigga has been getting a ton of press for things other than what he can do on the football field.

Knigga has attracted attention in recent weeks over his controversial surname.

The junior from Lawrenceburg is a two-sport star already getting interest from Division I colleges but nobody is paying any attention to his talent right now.

Knigga, a junior at Lawrenceburg High School, recently told Heisman Trophy winner and ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III in an interview posted on Instagram that his surname’s spelling has tripped many people up.

Griffin starts the clip by asking the family of four if they’ve ever been to Paris, which was a funny reference to the 2011 Jay-Z and Kanye West hit ‘N—–s in Paris.’ The family stated that they had never been there.

Noah then explains to Griffin the correct pronunciation of the family name.

“You say, Ka-Nay-Gah,” the younger Knigga said.

Ryan Knigga, Noah’s father and a football coach, says people have never made a big deal about the family name, but “I’ve had a few guys come up to me and say, ‘Hey, what’s up with this?’”

Griffin also gave the family an idea for a T-shirt: “I think you guys should make a few shirts that say ‘Knigga Please.’”

Griffin is one of the best college football players of all-time, winning the Heisman Trophy in 2011. He went on to play eight seasons in the NFL with the then-Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns, and Baltimore Ravens.

Even though he hasn’t officially retired, he now works as a college football analyst for ESPN.
