#jimbrown — Public Fediverse posts

On this day in 1966, Jim Brown shocked the sports world by retiring from the NFL at age 30—while still at the top of his game. Fresh off a dominant 1965 season, Brown chose Hollywood over football, making history both on the field and on the big screen. https://www.profootballhof.com/news/moments-in-nfl-history-lights-camera-retirement #JimBrown #NFLHistory

Taylor Blitz Times Supports The Boycott of the SEC – Slavery East Conference

Taylor Blitz Times definitely supports the boycott of the Slavery East Conference. The stories shared by former players of lack of post playing-coaching opportunities alone said what they think of you/ us. Now these southern states are gerrymandering to eliminate black representation in which you play, why grant them your athletic gifts to make money on?? I call for players to leave that conference for the HUNDREDS of other Universities elsewhere.

This is not to say every opportunity elsewhere is perfect but there is a much bigger picture for all of us where your visibility will strike a blow for what is right. If these states don’t want blacks to have a vote or representation in state legislature they have no value in you or me as equals.

Naysayers and gaslighters will try to tell you the SEC is your best chance to make the NFL when it isn’t true. LaDanian Tomlinson came from TCU before the BCS era, Jerry Rice came from Mississippi Valley State (HBCU) meaning the NFL will find you wherever you play.

Now is not the time to sit this one out and let your other brothers and sisters fight the fight. NIL will allow you to make money from your image and likeness at any of the 150 Universities in California alone. Your visibility is needed as much as Muhammad Ali’s was in the 1960s or the American Football League when their All Stars (1964) held a boycott in the south (again?) when they were to play a game in New Orleans. Remember that?

Even in the NFL during the 1960’s they had an unwritten quota system of how many black players a team would have. It was understood by those players and the resentment percolated under the surface. Before older whites who will gaslight you into thinking this wasn’t the case and just a few “black rebel rousers” well… try this on from the voices of Pro Football Hall of Famers Lenny Moore, Deacon Jones, Alan Page & Jim Brown This perpetuates the attitude of the time and you’ll also hear from Professor Harry Edwards, long time Viking Jim Marshall, former Buffalo Bill QB and US House of Representative Jack Kemp, along with former Charger Ron Mix:

Understand all these things happened 4 years before the 1968 Olympic Boycott that eventually broke but led to John Carlos & Tommie Smith’s black power salute on the podium. It was a cry to be heard and your battle is on a different playing field but the meaning is identical for our dignity and respect. I just want to encourage to have the courage to do it and move on from that God awful conference in those racist states.

The reason our opposition wants to erase our black history is to keep you from knowing what came before you to learn from. Once I had a post hit 18,000 people on Facebook last week I had to include it here.

Keep in mind which coaches have opposed the NIL the most and what states these coaches were most vocal. The Dabo Swinneys (South Caorlina), Nick Sabans (Alabama)w if you will… Now they want to move to “save” college sports now the players are sharing in the revenue. Yet when these Universities funded all of their other sports off the backs of football & basketball players while coaches made millions, barely a peep. Yes water polo, tennis, lacrosse, golf…etc

Be brave and hit the transfer portal out of there…

Dedicated to the memories of: Earl Faison, Abner Haynes, Cookie Gilchrist, Lenny Moore, Steve Sabol, Deacon Jones, Jim Brown, Jim Marshall, Jack Kemp, Muhammad Ali.

Special thanks to Lenny “Spats” Moore, who is still with us at 92 years of age.

#JimBrown, one of the all-time great running backs of the #NFL, died at 87. After football, he became an actor, starring in "The Dirty Dozen", "100 Rifles" and "Three The Hard Way". via
#ESPN.

In addition to his distinguished football career, Jim Brown was also successful on the lacrosse field, playing with #Syracuse during his college years. Brown scored 43 goals in only 10 games and was a First-Team All-America selection. He's also in the Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

#RIP #JimBrown (1936–2023)

#Football player with the #ClevelandBrowns (1957–65), he became a #movie #actor in the 1960s.

Never a #film star, Brown did land a handful of notable roles in major #movies:

THE DIRTY DOZEN (1967), opp #LeeMarvin;
ICE STATION ZEBRA (1968), opp #RockHudson;
100 RIFLES (1969), opp #RaquelWelch & #BurtReynolds.

His career went downhill in the early '70s, but he continued working in #films & #TV into the 21st century.

"In June 1967, Jim Brown organized 'The Cleveland Summit,' a meeting of the nation’s top Black athletes, including Bill Russell and Lew Alcindor, who later became Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, to support boxer Muhammad Ali’s fight against serving in Vietnam.

"In later years, he worked to curb gang violence in LA and in 1988 founded Amer-I-Can, a program to help disadvantaged inner-city youth and ex-convicts."
