RIP Jim Brown

[Atom Atlas]

Also played basketball and ran track….in college.
A 4 sport athlete at ‘Cuse. Unheard of.

Imagine if athletes today with all the advantages they have in modern training had half the will and desire Brown had.... Take him and give him what's available today and every record imaginable is smashed in Football ...

I saw him play against the Eagles one game where he got 230+ yards. He always got up slowly. He took massive hits back then as there were no rules about not leading with your helmet nor much about hitting late. I thought almost every game there would be several times he wouldn’t get up and be able to continue to play.

RIP. If they haven’t named the Offensive Player of the Year after him, they should.

His stance on civil rights for African Americans was inspiring.

His voting record, treatment of women, and other actions tended to undermine that first aspect.

not as much as it should've based on how many people praising him as a "great individual"

beating up women is a pretty solid indicator of being scum of the earth
