RG3 Defends Brittney on Twitter Wants Fans to Leave Brittney Alone!

What? Why is that weird robot from Star Wars defending Britney Spears? He’s not! RG3 is not a robot, silly goose! RG3 is short for Robert Griffin III, you know the awesome NFL quarterback for the Washington Redskins? Well, he is coming to the defense of Brittney Griner, the 6’8 star of the Baylor Girls Basketball Team. Of course, Robert attended Baylor University and he is showing that even though he’s a superstar in the NFL now, he’s still got Baylor pride in his heart.

Brittney has been receiving a lot of hate and taking a lot of the blame for Baylor’s loss to Louisville in the regional semifinals. Robert thinks that the treatment she is receiving is unwarranted and he explained why in a series of tweets on his Twitter account. There were 12 tweets in total, I put some of the highlights of the tweets together and managed to form them into an easy-to-read paragraph,

“Whew..okay. I took my time to calm down and not go off on Twitter about the Baylor Girls Basketball game…BUT I CAN’T DO IT! People poke and make fun of (Brittney) all the time but C’MON! Them girls were LITERALLY throwing elbows and slaps. Not to mention the lil lady who was mean-mugging B. Griner’s BELLY BUTTON after she made the nice layup…BACK UP CHILDS PLAY! Yes, Louisville hit the 3 ball all night. But for every 3 they made, they threw 6 elbows, 5 straight lefts and 4 hooks. Despite all the man jokes BG is not SHAQ! She is a 6’8 WOMAN! & the REFS! OH MY…NCAA may find a way to fine me if I bring them up.”

It’s safe to say that he was a little mad after the game, huh? Like Nicki Minaj, his caps lock button must be acting up, as well. I will say that it is cool of him to come to her defense and he did make some sense if you can manage to look past ALL THE RANDOM CAPS LOCK!!!!!!! ARGH!
