The former NFL quarterback continued to defend the teen when he ranted in a video message on Instagram.

“He could take an avatar to prom for all I care,” Griffin said. “Who he chooses is who he chooses. And secondly, it’s giving weird energy that a bunch of grown men and women, 40-year-old men and women, are trying to tell a 17-year-old who they think he should bring to prom.”

While some trolls blamed the Lakers player and Savannah James, saying the teen wasn’t raised right, Griffin spoke up to silence the critics.

“This ain’t got nothing to do with LeBron and Savannah not raising Bronny right,” he said. “The color of the skin of a girl he takes to prom should not matter. Leave these kids alone.”
