It is hard to describe Jim Brown’s importance to the Cleveland Browns. Every Browns fan, young and old, is saddened today because the man who made the Cleveland Browns feel good no matter the score on Sunday is no longer with us. Even with all of the bad times, the heartbreaking losses, and the team moving away, Browns fans could point to Jim Brown as what the Cleveland Browns represent. He represented the glory years of the organization, why we love the game of football, and why we love our running backs.
He fought segregation, he fought Art Modell, and he fought for the rights of black athletes. Jim Brown represents not only the Browns, but the city of Cleveland, blue collar, plays hard, never goes out of bounds or does any shortcuts, works tirelessly, and is reliable, always showing up to do the job at hand.
