Robert Griffin III stands up for black men amid backlash following Trump’s election win
Robert Griffin III is making his stance known following the results of the 2024 Presidential Election. After Donald Trump claimed victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, Griffin III felt that men, especially African-American men, were being blamed for Harris' loss.
Robert Griffin III shared his feelings on X that African-American men do, in fact, support African-American women. He said that notion is untrue and that the insults aimed at the men for the election results and other topics need to be stopped.
"Black Men do support Black Women. Stop tearing down and blaming black men for everything under the sun when it comes to Black Women," Griffin wrote on X
Robert Griffin III continued his thoughts on the United States Presidential Election and posted a photo of when he believed Donald Trump secured the win. It was a photo of the assassination attempt made in July 2024 during a rally in Pennsylvania.
Robert Griffin III takes jab at Dallas Cowboys after trade deadline
Robert Griffin III was a guest on the "Dan Patrick Show" on Wednesday just one day after the 2024 NFL trade deadline. Griffin took a shot at the Dallas Cowboys who have been unable to find success this season and recent injuries have made their situation even worse.
RGIII said that it wasn't he was against the Dallas Cowboys, he was just being realistic that they were considered the 'biggest loser' of the trade deadline.
“I wouldn’t say I’m anti-Cowboy, I just like to live in reality. We all know who the biggest loser of the trade deadline was,” Griffin said on "The Dan Patrick Show"
Griffin went on to talk about the Cowboys' lone move, which was to trade for wide receiver Jonathan Mingo from the Carolina Panthers. The former NFL quarterback raved about Mingo's abilities as a wide receiver. He believed Dallas trading a fourth-round pick for him was just too much, considering the Kansas City Chiefs traded a fifth-round draft pick for an established receiver like DeAndre Hopkins.
"When we talked about the Cowboys in the offseason, it was hey, they’re all-in. I just don’t understand how they’re making these moves now that their quarterback is on injured reserve with Dak Prescott not being available, and they think that this move trading for Jonathan Mingo is gonna make their fanbase believe in what they’re doing. It’s not. It’s gonna make everybody rebel and continue to laugh at the Cowboys,” Griffin said
The Dallas Cowboys are currently 3-5 after losing the last three games.
