In a world of sports GOATs, Jim Brown is in the same class as Ali, Ruth, Mays, Jordan, and Woods

Rape allegations and multiple instances of physically abusing women including throwing one off of a second floor once. Every time the threat of him being charged criminally came up he would play the civil rights card. Not sure what your definition of living life well is but Jim was the opposite of my definition of it. Jim was a good football player but a terrible human being.

Cheers to a great man and a great American.

dude was an outstanding athlete, but simply because of his skin color, his non-stop abuse of women is ignored.
Welcome to America.

Yeah, the incomplete narratives mainstream media is telling about Jim Brown fits its agenda. The guy was a menace on more than one occasion when everyone wasn’t looking.

He wasn’t a menace to others just once. There was a pattern. It’s not cancel culture to bring it up. It’s called telling the whole story.
Kudos to him for the good work he did. But to ignore the bad stuff is dishonest.

One of these is not like the other:
“Marshall Faulk, Eric Dickerson, and Flava Flav”

Literally one of the GOATs of sports and achievement just died and that poster’s first instinct was to bring up that stuff, that’s pretty cancel culture-y.
I’m not a hero worshiper, I don’t follow Jim Brown to where I know everything about his life relating to personal matters but I’m secure in my general knowledge that when his name is invoked, that stuff that poster is referring to is not the first thing I naturally think of. I don’t own a glass house and I don’t have stones to throw.

I don't ignore it but he made up imo for it by being reasobable during the BLM riots and the 2020 election cycle when that was a brave stance for a black Civil rights icon to take
