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.

This is a pro-Jemele Hill, anti- American board now boss.
Not surprised the same dweebs that let the other political thread go 10 pages are avoiding this thread

Kinda funny how the "group think" argument is waged. Some folks will raise Jim Brown for his statement here. Yet, send Randy Moss hatemail for his opinion and vice versa.
Tribalism at it's finest.
