Apparently, some fans don't.

Brown was being honored by being inducted into the Browns Ring of Honor this past weekend. Only Brown didn't show up. The reason? He was boycotting the event because he was unhappy with the reduced role with the team's administration. Brown even complained that he had been reduced to the likes of a team mascot.

This is America. Of course, everyone has the right to boo whoever they want, whenever they want. But booing Jim Brown is stupid. This is a guy who loves the organization, spoke out and fought to get a team back when the original Browns left for Baltimore and even tried to lure Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome to come back to Cleveland to run the operations of the franchise.

Jim Brown has never been known to be the quiet type. He speaks loudly and stands up for what he believes in. His personal beef with the administration is not a slap in the face to the fans, it's a way of standing up for what HE feels is right. If you were one of the folks booing in the crowd, then shame on you. Clap for Brown for all things he's done good for your team, not for the one thing that you don't like. He's earned that respect.

Stay classy, Cleveland.............
