Jim Brown Calls out Tiger
The Hot Route —
... Jim Brown had some words for Tiger Woods, and they weren't exactly positive. Brown called out Woods for him not being more vocal about the lynching comment and the subsequent noose displayed on Golfweek magazine. Basically Brown said that because Woods is such an elevated and public position, he should be more vocal about such issues. And I guess he's right - or is he? ...

Golf Blogger —
January 24, 2008 NFL Hall of Famer and activist Ji Jim Brown has taken Tiger to the woodshed for not being more vocal about Kelly Tilghman’s “lynching” comments. Appearing on ESPN First Take, Brown was asked whether Woods had a responsibility to speak out on certain issues, as an African-American, including the recent GolfWeek magazine cover that depicted a noose. “He should have come out right away. Instead, he waited until it was politically correct [to comment],” Brown said. “The word ‘lynch’ ... there is no redeeming part of it. “When you say lynch, you’re gonna have to ...

... come as no surprise to anyone. He plays a game where the slightest mental disruption can fluster a superb 64 holes played and send an entire 72-round tournament into dismay. He's the world's best golfer because nothing distracts him. So should Tiger use his pulpit as the world's greatest golfer and probably one of the world's most well-known athletes and speak against negative comments made about African Americans?

... talking and dirty Jew! Oh dear. I can't believe I thought that, good thing I didn't say it out loud. I was watching South Park last night and sometimes that happens. Cocksucker. Whoa. I didn't say that, but after my third episode of The Sopranos, sometimes it slips. I'm sorry I'm the brain. Blame television. Chicken. marsala. With mashed potatoes. Do you know Kelly Tilghman? She's kind of hot, very hot, golf analyst and used a naughty word because her brain and mouth communicated too ...
Jim Brown Calls For Tiger Woods To Become More Socially Active
FanIQ Blog —
Jim Brown has said this before, but for some reason, he felt the need to repeat his opinion that Tiger Woods isn't as socially active as he should be.
