Robert Griffin III's immense fan base is showing their appreciation
for the Washington Redskins quarterback by purchasing many of the
items he and his fiancï¿œe have listed on their wedding registry.
The link to the Bed Bath & Beyond registry had been posted last
week by The Washington Post. According to the registry, Griffin and
Rebecca Liddicoat are scheduled to be married on July 6.
The 23-year-old Griffin expressed his appreciation to his fans'
surprise purchases in a tweet Sunday.
"Thank you to the Fans who are helping buy ALL the items from our
wedding registry at Bed Bath & Beyond," he wrote, including a
photo of himself posing in front of several empty boxes.
He later responded to apparent backlash he received by people who
objected to the prospect of fans buying gifts for an NFL quarterback.
"I didn't ask the fans to buy me anything," he wrote.
"They found it on their own and decided to get what they could.
SMH at all these Debbie downers."
He also tweeted: "Because you are rich you are not allowed to
receive gifts and any gifts you receive should be donated to
charity???? #WOW Smh [shaking my head]..."

This strikes me as a weird invasion of privacy by his fans. I understand that they want to show appreciation, but come on. If you aren't invited to his wedding, you shouldn't be looking up his registry.

It's in the public domain: Anybody can get on BB&B and look up anyone's
info. I don't know how one can get around that other than providing BB&B
with a list of "authorized" e-mail addresses.
