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:gucci:?


"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.

Dude was a complicated man. Some of his dirt is a part of his legacy, you don’t make people into complete angels when they die. My only gripe is that Michael Smith is a person that always seems to lead with the bad when it comes to blk athletes.

I'mma shoot him some bail, and lay the blame at the feet of the folks who edited the clip together. I actually watched that episode live, and both Holley and Smith spent a decent amount of time talking about the solid shyt he did and praising him before they got into the fukk shyt in his history. They actually had a balanced conversation about him.

But whoever their producer is that chopped up this clip and posted it for them thought they were being one step ahead of how petty social media audiences can be by skipping to the middle of the conversation, instead of splicing in clips from the start. Honestly, it's a no win situation, but it is what it is.

I guess this why some sports media wasn’t talking about him when he died. I was wondering. Honestly I somehow didn’t know this about him. I was wondering why undisputed ain’t say shyt when he passed

fukk them

Brown admitted in public his flaws and his abused towards women and apologized

He never hid his flaws, so for them to continue to bring it up is bullshyt..

It would be different if he hid the shyt and denied any of his flaws that was true

Is pedophilia included in Elvis's legacy?
Yes and there have been multiple stories about it over the years. All the good and bad should be included with someone’s legacy and no one should be immune from it.

Once again, just because posters aren’t checking for these type of stories and conversations doesn’t mean that they don’t exist.

What black people celebrate Elvis???

If you don’t have a problem with someone beating up on black women repeatedly you need to look in the mirror. It’s not like he said fukk all the other shyt he did. All he said is that he has a complicated legacy. Some Other people not even talking about Jim Brown. All he doing is addressing the elephant in the room literally and telling people why

Says the person who is in here ranting without doing a simple Google search beforehand before commenting :mjlol:

Posters are in here sounding like the white people they love to complain about by wanting certain events and someone’s history to not be acknowledged.

Google what exactly?
And you're still off topic, breh
I'm talking about the shape and you still talkin about the color when I told your silly ass that the color wasn't the point
You about to argue about some shyt I never said.
What exactly do I need to Google, breh?

Your beginning comments literally mentioned color and the double standard and how it’s covered does it not?
