If you thought the Robert Griffin Washington football saga couldn’t get more absurd, that threshold was further passed Monday evening when the now benched quarterback liked a photo on Instagram slamming the entire organizing, including owner Daniel Snyder.
Robert Griffin III appears to support Dan Snyder’s impeachment with a ‘like’ on Instagram
Add another page to this bizarre soap opera of our lives.
As a Skins Fan I’m disappointed in the way my team used this mans talent and potential to do nothing but raise hopes and make a profit. I don’t regret the skins grabbing RG, I do regret having a sorry ass team owner and sorry ass front office who couldn’t put a winning coaching staff together who could actually compete for a super bowl. Griffin does not deserve the blame or bad rap, the man has gone above and beyond since day one to the point of injury, while at the same time being a role model of a person. The Redskins let him fall and did not help him get up. No matter if he’s a starter, back up, or played for another team I will always respect and be a fan of RG3. #HTTR #Loyalty #ImpeachDanSnyder #Redskins #redskinsnation #DC #NFL @rgiii @espn @nflAnd indeed, Griffin chose to tap on the “heart button” on Instagram from his account, indicating his support for this post that strongly criticized Snyder and asked for him to be impeached as owner (which isn’t possible of course).
Griffin would later go on to “unlike” the image, but the “damage” has been done. He also posted his own Instagram, denying he ever liked the other post and instead it was an intern who helps with social media.
I just wanted to set the record straight on this one. I did not “like” that IG post ridiculing our team. I have not been social media active consistently for awhile now and am ultra-focused on working to get back on the field and trying to help this team. One of our interns who helps with Instagram liked the post. As soon as I was made aware of it, it was immediately unliked. That is not how I feel and I appreciate your understanding.
