Having noted Dick Butkus's death via a sidebar image, he was unique, a post is required in racial fairness to other exceptional athletes, specifically a pair that spoke up throughout their lives.

 


Jim Brown died at 87. Bill Russell at 88. Each defined athletic greatness during playing careers. Each spoke candidly throughout the years. Each is very special.

The image is from a series of images NFL.com posted upon Brown's death.
