Jim Brown Statue
-
It is long overdue but the Browns are erecting a statue to Jim Brown at the stadium this year. With his NFL record, all I can say is GREAT!
-
sorta like the OJ statue in his own front yard in the opening episode of cali v. oj simpson?
-
Quite possibly the greatest football player ever and OG domestic violence scumbag, Browns erect statue, sounds about right.
-
I thought he paid his debt to society. He also beat up a car and paid for that. Assholes!

I'm fine with a Jim Brown statue. They ought to be putting up a Paul Brown statue first, though.

I like that they are putting this statue up for Jim... I think its the right thing to do. I also agree with putting a Paul Brown statue up. Every year this comes up and it wont go away unit its done.

Jim Brown. The guy that is still ranked like 9th in rushing yards in like 50 years of the NFL? Enough said.. Get him a island too..

I'm just not sure I can get past what Jim Brown did in his past. I get a lot of charges were dismissed, but that's the same as saying Bill Cosby never assaulted women because he was never convicted. We rip Ray Rice and Big Ben for actions they weren't charged for but Jim Brown gets a pass and that's just dumb. To go to the level of putting up a statue is really dubious to me and something that just doesn't need to be done.

I'd donate to build a statue of LEROY KELLY.
and I'd donate to tear down a statue of domestic/racial bigotry of the past.
Never believed in Jim Brown as a human being off the field.
Too bad this bs ignores how excellent Leroy Kelly is

30 year old 'memories' I don't buy.

Get a set, people, Washington and Jefferson had slaves and they have National Monuments.
This guy is the the greatest FOOTBALL PLAYER of all time, he's done bad things, he's done good things, but he's a once in a lifetime talent and he's ours.
Babe Ruth
Jim Brown
Michael Jordan
Wayne Gretzky
There is only four of them. And the one that played the most popular sport in the USA was ours.
He threw a model off a balcony ... alledgedly ..
And it was a one-story balcony. Who hasn't done that?
Some windshields were broken, some charges never stuck, and lots of kids grew up in a better environment thanks to Jim Brown.
Whatever. He's Babe Ruth.
New York slobbers all over his hot dog eating, fat ass, sexist, pure white records.
Cleveland wants to apologize because Brown misbehaved 50 years ago. Grow up. No one can stop him, no one ever could, cant wait to get my picture taken in front of the statue.

When you try to judge yesteryears events according to today's moral values...it don't work. Dames used to get slapped in the movies all the time and it WAS accepted in the community. Not today tho. And to add too Zs post. Read about Ty Cobb and then get self righteous.

You are literally justifying a man beating up a woman because he played football well, both of you are. We joke and have a good time around here but that's honestly just deplorable. If it's being self-righteous to not support a woman-beater, than call me a self-righteous asshole I suppose. Time doesn't make that okay.

I'm not saying Jim Brown is a dirtbag now. But his past
is just that, and I'll never respect him as much as Leroy Kelly.

I don't justify what he did. The era does tho. History! learn it, love it, live it.

No, it doesn't. Maybe where ever the fuck you're from it was okay to hit women, but where I was raised in Ohio it sure as shit wasn't. In fact, my grandfather told me at 84 years old that if I ever laid a wrong hand on my wife he'd personally beat the crap out of me. He has a story about a neighbor who was a wife beater who was in a coma after the neighborhood took care of it. It was never "historically okay" to beat defenseless women, so saying it's part of Jim Brown's era as an excuse is honestly just sobering that people see it that way.

Nope it wasn't alright then. You're right about that. That is why he was investigated and charged. And he atoned acording to those times. Now to repunish him is whats called double jeopardy. He didn't kill and did his time.
