NFL legend Jim Brown recently said he does not agree with Colin Kaepernick or any other player protesting during the national anthem, and one fellow Hall of Famer is not happy with Brown for his take on the subject.
In an interview with TMZ over the weekend, Sharpe was adamant in expressing how much he “wholeheartedly” disagrees with Brown.
“It’s disappointing because I don’t really know that there’s a right way and a wrong way to approach (protesting),” Sharpe said. “There’s a right and wrong way to handle black unarmed men and women in America. I think the thing is, things are different now. I’m sure they told him in 1967 summit (of black athletes) that it wasn’t the right way.” Brown said he supports Kaepernick but was highly critical of athletes who don’t stand at attention during the national anthem. Sharpe seemed most bothered by Brown’s comments because the Cleveland Browns legend is such an influential African-American athlete. “It’s disappointing because all it takes is one big-name person of color to really almost throw a wet blanket over the fire that’s being sparked with what Colin Kaepernick and others with the Black Lives Matter movement (are doing) — the positive people who are trying to change and have an impact,” Sharpe said. “You’re talking about Jim Brown, a guy who was a huge part of the 1967 summit, saying that Colin Kaepernick went about this wrong. That gives them all the credibility they need. That hurts the most and it’s so disappointing. I’m so, so disappointed in him. … I wholeheartedly disagree with everything he said.” Michael Vick also criticized Kaepernick not too long ago, and Kaepernick fired back with a very strong message on social media. We’d guess Sharpe would be just as angry with Vick.

Outside work.
The Castro and Malcom X loving Kaepernick should just move to Venezuela or N Korea. His stupidity would hit him hard in the face, but too late.
“'History!' Kaepernick wrote on Instagram Oct. 15 [2015], when he marked 50 years since the Black Panther Party was founded.
Kaepernick has posted 170 photos or videos on his Instagram account in the four years since he created it. Most of his first 128 posts were pics of him in football gear, publicity photos or shots taken with friends.
But 31 of his last 42 posts have strong social justice connotations, often featuring quotes from radical Nation of Islam leader Malcolm X, Black Panthers founder Huey Newton and cop killer Assata Shakur. [aka, JoAnne Chesimard]
During a Sunday news conference about the flag flap, Kaepernick dressed in a black hat with a large, white “X” and a T-shirt that featured photos of Cuban despot Fidel Castro and Malcolm X.”

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES
"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo [the police].
Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.
The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."
To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

I don’t know why Kaepernick hasn’t been signed by any NFL teams. I’m sure some team could use him to be a holder for a White place kicker.
That would be a perfect position for him......kneeling on the field, and coming close to being kicked in the head by a White guy, who is cheered by the crowd (at least when the kick goes through the uprights). It would make him feel like he was in Selma.
And people wonder why the NFL is losing market-share and money like an Arkansas swampland deal. Is it any wonder that Radisson Hotels, Nike, and Procter & Gamble have pulled away from the NFL?
Skin color shouldn’t keep us from discriminating against idiots. Otherwise we and our country are lost.
Jim Brown is always cool, and always will be. Shannon Sharpe is not.
Maybe because they don’t want a 2 and 14 record like he gave the 49ers last year.
Jim Brown craps bigger’n him.
Kipperdink is a useless idiot.
If Kaepernick can trash the nation when he’s engaged in a work activity, then Jim Brown should be able to express his opinion when he isn’t.
This all boils down to Kaepernick having the right to do something very disgusting (express his free speech by trashing the U.S.), and Jim Brown not having that right (simply voicing his objection to such things).
a PATRIOTIC AMERICAN place kicker.
Shannon, FOAD. Regardless of color, any unarmed person fighting cops, running to attack them, beating on them, going after their weapons, is 1) stupid as hell, 2) is going to be shot.
Again Shannon, FOAD.
Show me where Sharpe lives, show me where Kaepernick lives, show me where Jim Brown lives, and I will tell you who is true to their roots and who has sold out.
Drop dead, Shannon Dulle.
Lets face it, Sharpe is a no good, America hating traitor who sit safely in a TV studio making millions of dollars and never has to face the consequences of his words.
Ohhhh how I would like to meet him in an airport lobby area.
