miktoxic Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 jim brown is in the early stages of altzheimers and his 'peeps' need to keep him under wraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombo Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Whatever, he can say what he wants. Brown's a prick and Kobe's a douche. Two of the top living athletes this country has. Zombo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaconHound Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 I feel bad for African American culture if Jim Brown is their spokesperson. Tearing down a successful person just to illustrate how bad ass and defiant he is. I would think solidarity would trump egoism to attempt to address important issues.

miktoxic Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 even with his off the field probs (which was minimal compared to a lot of athletes nowadays) jim brown did more for african americans back in the day than anyone in history in the united states. though he couldn't save everyone (richard pryor) he did his best because of his presence and the fact that he was the best RB in history. i'll love him just because of that alone, and then of course that he played for the browns. unfortunately time has past him by. but what he speaks of is from his heart and he (amongst other black people) expect more from the money-grabbing black athletes of today. sure a lot of those athletes today have charities and other 'right-offs' that help people, but no one stood up more to the then one-sided gov't who wouldn't let a black man eat in the same section as a white man than people like jim brown, jackie robinson and dr. king. he still lives in his past, which might not sit right with a lot of people today.

BaconHound Posted December 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 If your agenda is to help society discuss the divide between some famous/wealthy African American athletes/personalities and the culture as a whole and why it exists. Instead he is implying Kobe isn't "black enough" to be at the table. I would ask Kobe as a wealthy African American why is their a disconnect with him and the social issues facing African Americans today. I think he would be surprised that it has less to do with where he grew up than it does with money and the fact that as a whole the wealthy in this country, regardless of color, live, eat and play together with little care for the downtrodden of society.

miktoxic Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 cuz kobe has never stood up for anything. period. except when he was at a press conference to reconcile with his wife on national tv (who was sportin a 20 karat new diamond ring) and declare his innocence (hehehehe) from a rape charge that his attornies made go away with some payment, or to declare his despise of playing with shaq cuz he couldn't ball hog. kobe IS black enough. he just isn't made fromthe same cloth as those who's footsteps he pretends to walk in. fuck kobe. spineless bitch.

Kobe IS black. But like you said, he is NOT black like Jim Brown thinks black is. Kobe grew up in a wealthy family, traveling the globe with a famous basketball player father. Jim Browns idea of "black" is much different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the biggest Kobe fan but when a "member" of the current organization calls out a high profile athlete it does make for discussion. Jim Brown is an 6 time accused wife beater, who has spent time in prison and quotes bible verses like a pastor. He has been honored by this team and, rightfully so, but now it's time to let him go gently into that good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickers Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 jim Browns past problems dont concern Me...He was a "Different" Man back then. On the other hand most of you would be right in saying he was a Douche back in the day, And what he did was absolutely wrong. However. People grow up eventually and mature. Id love to see Jim just fade away quietly and with some respect...He is after all...A Brown! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a few nights in jail on his "disorderly conduct" charge....because he refused to do the community service he was asked to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dste Ace Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Brown served less than four months of a six month sentence. He chose to serve the jail time rather than complete a domestic violence counseling program and donate to a battered women's shelter. In an interview on Fox Sports, Michael Irvin asked why on God's earth would Brown elect to go to jail rather than take the easy way out. Brown replied that if he had taken the plea he would still have been on probation after satisfying the requirements of the deal, and any subsequent infraction of the law would have resulted in him violating his probation and subject to punitive jail time. By electing to go to jail, Brown, in his words, walked out of jail "beholden to no one". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
