Jim Brown: ‘I’ll never kneel’

Brown, known as one of the most prominent activist/athletes of his era (and probably all eras), said he would never kneel for the national anthem, according to Tom Withers of the Associated Press.
“I’ll never kneel and I will always respect the flag,” Brown told Withers before the HBO premiere of “Hard Knocks” that features the Browns.
Brown, who is 82, said he supported the players’ rights to kneel. But he didn’t agree with what they’re doing.
“Well, if you take the bottom line, what are we talking about? We’re talking about freedom to express one’s self, and if you don’t break any rules then you have that particular right,” Brown told the Associated Press.
“I am not going to denigrate my flag and I’m going to stand for the national anthem. I’m fighting with all of my strength to make it a better country, but I don’t think that’s the issue. Because what is the top side? Are you not going to stand up? This is our country, man.

I'm impressed.
You're allowed to agree with the right without agreeing with the point of the protest.

Jim Brown was absolutely right about Trent Richardson.

I'm so tired of this anthem bullshite.

I agree with him on all points.
-I wouldn't consider kneeling myself.
-I think players have a right to kneel, respect that right and have no desire to rip them just because I disagree.
-I think our ultimate call is to try to better America, not just argue about symbols and expression. Try to truly make the country better.

When you're the GOAT, you say GOAT things and recognize shite for what they are, this dude makes Bo Jackson and Herschel Walker look like junior high athletes

Was Jim Brown the athlete that went straight into the heart of the hood in California and held a meeting with the leaders of the Crips and Bloods at the time?

I feel like 60% (or more) of the knobheads that actually kneel seriously have no idea what they’re even protesting; they’re doing it to keep up with the status quo. Muhhh we aren’t protesting the anthem buhhhh.

does that make him an Uncle Tom

I was watching the Dirty Dozen a couple days ago, Jim was a pretty good actor. He played the part perfect, as well as in the movie with Harrison Ford, Force 10 from Naverone.

Ok? He's 82. Kind of hard to kneel in the stands.
