Notorious mafia gangster boss Big U has officially turned himself in, and his surrender could spell major problems for high-profile athletes entangled in the gang lifestyle. Accused of multiple gang-related crimes and the extortion of celebrities, including athletes and actors, Big U’s downfall is set to send shockwaves through the sports and entertainment industries. In this special episode of Fearless, Jason Whitlock recounts his personal experiences with these so-called “mafia” gang leaders. Whitlock shares memories of his past friendship with the late Hall of Fame Cleveland Browns running back, Jim Brown. It was Brown who introduced him to Big U years ago. Although Jason and Big U never formed a lasting connection, Brown took it upon himself to mentor and discipline the gangster boss in an effort to steer him toward a different path. Jim Brown understood that throwing money at a problem was never the solution. He believed that investing in impoverished communities required more than financial aid—it demanded real action. Unlike many who merely built schools or non-profits from a distance, Brown took a hands-on approach. He invited rival gang members into his own home, hoping to facilitate civil conversations that could lead to truces and, ultimately, put an end to the cycle of violence plaguing black communities. This episode isn’t for the faint of heart. These are real issues that deeply affect the black community, and Fearless is committed to being part of the change our culture so desperately needs.
