Pro Football Hall of Famer and Cleveland Browns legend Jim Brown panned current football players who choose to protest during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner, saying “I don’t desecrate my flag and my national anthem.”
Brown, who fought for social causes throughout his career, told ThePostGame.com he empathizes with jobless quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who began the trend of kneeling during the anthem last season when he played for the San Francisco 49ers. But Brown said Kaepernick and other players who demonstrate – such as a dozen Cleveland players who knelt Monday – are going about their crusade the wrong way.

Well, we should hardly expect him (Ray Lewis) to say or do anything that would shine the light back on him, especially to side with an anti-American, anti-cop, pro-communist radical like Kaepernick. The last thing RL wants to do is stir the pot and get Americans angry and scrutinizing of him again, given that he was in some way involved in that murder a few years back. A lot of people believe he was/is guilty of the charges.

I and millions of others will continue to follow and support MY team, the Patriots.
However, from this day forth the will be absolutely NO watching of any other football games. No Monday nite,no Thursday nite and not a simgle moment of any other Sunday games that do not involve MY team.
Let those paying for the countless commercials see how they like their ads being seen my less and less people each week.
Then lets see of the NFL like the decreasing ad revenue.
Few would dare. Even at his age, Jim Brown could clean the floor with them.
"Well, that's an ass whippin' I'm just going to have to take."
One thing Jim Brown and Ray Lewis have in common is that they were Hall of Fame players who were among the best ever to play their respective positions. I've noticed that all the misfits in the NFL who are engaging in this silly public charade by refusing to stand for the national anthem fall into one of two categories:
1. They're mediocre players (at best) who will never be known for anything other than their silly temper tantrum. Colin Kaepernick fits in this category.
2. They're faded players past the prime of their career who aren't going to be getting anymore big contracts anyway.
In both cases, you can define the players as complete losers. That's why you don't see anyone on the New England Patriots, for example, engaging in this kind of idiocy.
The Browns actually cut players?
A real man speaks up, not some wimp cuckolded by a social justice warrior.
Kaperdick is dating a very hot SJW. That is what is driving this. He is thinking with his little head.
Jim Brown just opened a big fissure in the BLM/SJW wall. It will be fun to watch the rabid lefties go after him.
He is not the kind of guy to back down.
Better not call him that to his face, I don’t care how old he is.
Yeah. All those pro football fans should watch college games, because there isn’t anything like that going on there. As a bonus, they get to watch those college games on ESPN and support their agenda as well!
I say we all jump on that!
Plenty of college teams have players disrespecting the anthem. Michigan, Michigan State, and Nebraska come to mind, and I’m sure there will be many, many more this season.
Thank you, Mr. Brown. IMHO, Kaepernick is not a true American Black, anyway. He’s some kind of halfbreed raghead camel jockey. Exhibit-A: When he went looking for a mate, he selected a muslim broad, who goaded him into doing the idiotic things he’s done, which ruined his career. He isn’t unemployed because of his protests. It’s because his protests messed up his football mind. He sux as a QTRback.
A great scene.
See, that’s the thing: These negros don’t see the USA as their country or their flag. Even the Wookie and Zero disrespected the flag.
I just wish for once he makes it onto that truck.
Maybe he should talk to the ELEVEN members of his old team who “took a knee.”
LOL, sorry, I should have put the /s tag on my post...:)
I’m with you on that.
The issue I have is with people virtue signalling “I don’t watch NFL! I watch college!” or say “Don’t watch sports of any kind! They are rich, spoiled, blah blah blah.”
I’m sick of the holier-than-thou attitude. I have made significant changes in my patterns of patronage and buying habits, but I have long since come to the conclusion I have to do what is right for me.
If someone else wants to spend or not spend their money in a given area, I won’t say anything to them if I disagree, with some specific exceptions on a case by case basis.
If someone says “Don’t buy Apple, they are PC, in cahoots with China” or whatever, I say are you using a distribution of Linux or something like that? Because if you use Microsoft products directly or indirectly (and if you use ANY technology, you are) then Microsoft likely gives more money to a wide spectrum of wildly liberal causes than Apple does. Never mind the Bill And Melinda Gates Foundation, to which if Microsoft employees donate money to them, are getting matching funds from Microsoft at best, and at worst, are double or triple matching.
Same with Chevy. I won’t buy a Chevy, but putting Ford on a pedestal as being a virtue-strengthening choice (never mind supporting the UAW) ignores the fact that the Ford Motor Company has the same favored employee matching fund scheme when its employees donate to the Ford Foundation, which was one of the major contributors in 2016 to Black Lives Matter.
And this can be taken to any degree-do you drive a car? Well, some of your money spent is 100% certainly going to end up in the pocket of entities in the Middle East who want you dead. Do you buy nearly any electronic device? Probably has Chinese circuitry in it.
And so on. I say we let people make their own choices and quit trying to lecture them if they don’t make the same choices.
