The real question is, if OJ can get away with murder, why can't Oliver have a few drinks and drive home? Well if he goes to trial and the bottle doesn't fit his hand.....

Billzfan37 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Ah so you can be the best at everything in this world, but if enough people disagree with your conduct after your career is over, you lose all your accolades. Way to go conduct police! JFC - activism and moral policing is like sports for USELESS PEOPLE. Reading some of these comments is HYSTERICAL! While we are at it, let's take away all of Babe Ruth's accolades because black people weren't allowed in the MLB then. Our country is a bunch of whiny tenderfoot babies who have super sensitive feelings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) This is the type of thing that a lot of people get really fired up about. I'm not one of those people. I voted "leave him on the wall". He's there b/c of what he did on a football field, and that hasn't changed.

Evian Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 He did it but was found not guilty. Can't remove him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternOHBillsFan Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Anyone who thinks he should remain on the Wall doesn't value life, clearly... so if you found out a good family friend was a pedophile, would you want them around or associated with your family in any way if a court of law said they were not guilty but you believe your family member they were sexually assaulted? Yeah, "it's just football" is an EXCUSE. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Mantis_Toboggan Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) I voted to remove, but now I kinda want to rescind my vote. Knowing what we now know about CTE, and the results we've seen in players who have done horrible things, I now wonder what role that possibly played in all this? Considering his other documented rage issues, I'm not saying it's an excuse, but it certainly follows a disturbing pattern we've seen in those afflicted with CTE, almost akin to another tragedy like Chris Benoit's, where he was shown to have extreme CTE.

Chaos Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I think it makes more sense to take OJ off the wall than I o remove Thomas Jefferson from positions of honor. On the other hand his place on the wall makes more sense than a George Floyd statue anywhere. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicharito Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 You can not erase that he did on the field. Just like all the rest of the monuments being tore down across this country you cant erase history! 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monuments are not how you tell history, they are how you honor people, events, etc. The easy answer is to leave his name up on this stadium, but omit it from the new one. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a list of those we respect the most. Simpson certainly was a phenomenal player, but that’s not the whole test for me. He murdered people. He’s trash and I don’t respect trash. I don’t want his name up there. Fans shouldn’t have to stand under it to cheer and good human beings like Lorenzo Alexander and Kyle Williams shouldn’t have to play under it. It is? A list that fans "respect" the most? Where is that written and/or how did you come up with that, other than just by writing it? I always assumed the wall is place to acknowledge the best players in team history, and OJ most definitely that. I think I would place him #1 on the all time list of best Buffalo Bills. Only player who comes close in the consideration is Bruce Smith, but OJ beats him out IMO. Can't change history. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
