Article from Sports Illustrated in 2015 that discusses his domestic violence
Not sure why people are acting that this was a topic people never touched until now.
You mean that footnote in an overall tribute and fluff piece?
"Monique says now, “We had an argument, and Jim damaged his own property. There has never been any domestic violence in our home. He has talked to our son. It is not something that Jim would ever tolerate.” She says that Jim has “settled into a wonderful family life.” (Thought she rejects the verb mellowed.) Aris, an eighth-grader, loves to play lacrosse, the game at which some think Jim was the greatest player in history. They play catch in the driveway behind the house.
When you ask Brown how he would counsel young players on how to treat women, there is a pause. Then the laugh. “I know what you’re trying to get at,” he says. “There is no excuse for violence . There is never a justification for anyone to impose themselves on someone else. And it will always be incorrect when it comes to a man and a woman, regardless of what might have happened. You need to be man enough to take the blow. That is always the best way. Do not put your hands on a woman.”
Theres about 2-3 incidents that arent exactly "facts" about his situation. If they are going to go down this road they should make it known the women recanted and he cited police harrasment in one instance. And he denied any wrong doing,so what do we do with this info. Could have got him for an interview and asked. I at least give this writer credit for that. But that article aint even from Michael Smith or Bomani. My point was they shouldve done an article ,or called him out while he was living. If it was so important to bring up right after he died.
