That sounds like the Jim Brown I personally knew back in the day when we the poor (in money) students and the athletes rode the shuttle bus together daily to and from the Collingdale collection of G. I. Butler huts.

Jim was the one athlete star who was not aloof and arrogant to the other ordinary fellows riding in the bus. He was friendly, engaging, outgoing, yet humble in spite of his greatness, and greeted me by my nickname. No reverse-racism in that fine young man.

#16. Nice to hear that Jim Brown was a class act, not a clown act. Reminds me of Jesse Owens when I got an award from him a long time ago. A very humble man and proud American.

Glad to see that the “old folk” still have class while the “youngins are just crass”.
