“Talk to me!” RIP to a Legend. What a life he lived.

After that 14 second KO this past weekend that’s exactly what I posted… “I just saw swinging” lol. People throw around that Legend word too much now me included but Jim Brown was a Legend.

Why DC gotta get all up Jim Brown’s business?

Seems a bit disingenuous to call Jim Brown the first black UFC announcer.

Call him what he is! THE first announcer period of the UFC!

This is what’s wrong with the west.

A black man could invent the fucking airplane and they’d call him “the first black/African American to fly!”.

Always gotta be about race.

Of course there’s relevancy in some cases, but doesn’t need to be the only thing that matters for every damn thing!

Some of the worst commentating in the history of sports!

Both sides pandering to each other like fools.

When you’re Jackie Robinson and you break that barrier after 50 years of baseball, you are the first black man to play in the MLB, no doubt!

When you’re the first one period to do something, it doesn’t matter what your background is, you’re a fucking pioneer and that’s it! Never detract or distract from that!

You rock Jim Brown! UFC announcing pioneer!

Exactly. He was part of the very first UFC commenting team. WTF has black got to do with it?
