Has always been considered the—or one of the—greatest non-QBs to play football of all time. And he’s much more than that. RIP.

The “even greater person” part of the thread title is — tough to read for me. Jim Brown was many different things. Think Bomani’s tweet summarized it best.

The woman beater stuff will be thrown around soon enough but at least on the day he passed hopefully the media keeps it to themselves

Extremely. And he’s going to get sportwashed and the NFL that blackballed Kaep is gonna be talking about Jim Brown’s legacy all year. Feels strange all around for sure.

Admittedly, I am (soon to be was) only familiar with his athletic accolades and lifelong Civil Rights work.
Seems that his legacy is a lot more complex than I presumed.
I appreciate NT for always bringing forth new info.
If the title was an overstep I apologize.

Nah man, no apology needed whatsoever. Most of these transgressions occurred before most of us (minus C CP1708 and

) were even born. I can’t even remember how I learned about it myself tbh. I think that Jim Brown is a great example of people not just being one thing, or just “good” or “bad” as we’re conditioned to see them as.

That’s sweet man. My HS didn’t have it so I never even thought of playing but it seems cool.

He gotta eat that.
We gotta stop this “only talk about the good stuff” nah. You can still appreciate a person’s artistry, and call out the bad stuff too
