Last week, it was revealed that Robert Griffin III and his bride-to-be, Rebecca Liddicoat, are to be married in July.
Through some expert sleuthing, my predecessor on this very site, Sarah Kogod, found RGIII's wedding registry at Bed Bath & Beyond. So what else is there for bored football fans to do in May than buy some place settings and non-stick cookware for an All-Pro quarterback?
Thank you to the Fans who are helping buy ALL the items from our wedding registry at Bed Bath & Beyond … say.ly/MLw5Rbg — Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) May 19, 2013
Of course, there were those on Twitter who felt that Griffin shouldn't be accepting gifts from fans who make significantly less money than he does. Others even called the fans' motives into question.
I didn't ask the fans to buy me anything. They found it on their own and decided to get what they could. SMH at all these Debbie downers — Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) May 19, 2013
