REST IN PEACE. A three-time MVP, Jim Brown led the NFL in rushing eight times out of his nine seasons in the league and helped the Cleveland Browns win their last championship.
Brown also was involved as a social activist, beginning in the 1960s, and he was heavily involved with supporting Muhammad Ali after the boxing great was stripped of his world title for refusing to participate in the Vietnam War.
NBA star LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers was one of the many people paying tribute to Brown on Friday. Hall of Fame running backs Barry Sanders and Tony Dorsett were among the former NFL stars expressing their condolences. Said Dorsett: “There isn’t a man who played running back in the NFL who didn’t see Jim Brown as an iconic legend on and off the field. Rest easy, my brother.”“Jim Brown was a gifted athlete – one of the most dominant players to ever step on any athletic field – but also a cultural figure who helped promote change,” Goodell said.
