| 26th October, 2006 - 4:09 pm |  Philadelphia Inquirer - Jim Brown, one of the greatest athletes in United States history and also one of the most outspoken commented extensively on the Terrell Owens-Donovan McNabb situation that occurred last season.
"What Terrell Owens did to Donovan was unconscionable," Brown told Stephen A. Smith on Wednesday. "More so because, to this day, people don't even realize what he did to Donovan.
"Donovan had to be taken out of his position of leadership," Brown said. "He had to try to figure out how to get along with a guy that he did not like. Donovan had to deal with the management. He had to deal with the other players. He was put in a state where he didn't know who the hell he was or what stand he should take. Right and righteousness went out of the window.
"He threw key interceptions. Donovan was unsure of himself. You had a split locker room, so he had to be very careful of the locker room. And so, therefore, what was in him but confusion? How do you know what to do when you can't just do the right thing?
"African American partnerships are so necessary in the high-profile world of big money. When you have two brothers who can be positive and produce and demand big salaries and speak out on issues that are very valuable, that is so powerful in our culture.
"What [Owens] did is take a quarterback, a black quarterback, and bring him down to confusion. He left us with nothing but a train wreck [in McNabb], when we are the underdogs that have to perform and conduct ourselves in a manner and use our money and intelligence and work in a keen way." [READ] |
