Jim Brown is nothing if not consistent. In 2017, the Pro Football Hall of Famer said he would never disrespect the flag and honor his country. He once again made that point before the premiere of Hard Knocks Tuesday.
“I’ll never kneel and I will always respect the flag,” Brown said, via the Associated Press.
“I am not going to denigrate my flag and I’m going to stand for the national anthem," he said. "I’m fighting with all of my strength to make it a better country, but I don’t think that’s the issue. Because what is the top side? Are you not going to stand up? This is our country, man."
