I think thumbs down would win.  Judging by the Reponses to this thread looks more thumbs down.

 

I know that I created a poll a while back asking if his name should be on the Wall.  The Yes votes far outnumbered the No votes.

As well they should.

I was just getting old enough to pay attention to football when OJ was reaching his prime. He was my first celebrity hero.

 

Shortly after he retired - I was probably in high school at the time - we started hearing reports of police being called to his house on suspicion of domestic violence. If it happens once, then maybe you give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that an argument got loud, maybe a door was slammed, and the neighbors overreacted and called the cops. But this happened several times, so at some point, I had to assume that he was a wife-beater. All respect lost. That's when I decided not to idolize celebrities anymore.

 

After the murders, when he was threatening to commit suicide, all I could think was, "Do it and save the criminal justice system a bunch of money."

I wonder if he needs any work, I have these black gloves....

[Rocket94]

OJ was an electric runner when he was on! I remember him running through and past the vaunted steel curtain!

Oh, yeah.   He's traveling in our circles now, I suspect. 

 

But if he's at SoFi last week and Buffalo this week he is still doing better than a lot of folks.  

 

I can think of at least two people he is doing MUCH better than these days...

This is the only good thing to come from the whole OJ ordeal.

White Bronco sighting?

[RobbRiddick]

I met OJ once years ago when I was out in Cali. It was late at night and he must have been jogging because he was out of breath.

 

This was the days before camera phones so instead of a selfie I asked for an old fashioned autograph. Unfortunately he was unable to grip the pen because his gloves were too tight. I remember thinking, all your money and you can't buy gloves that fit?

 

Still, I'll always have the memory

No idea what to think.  I'd not talk to him and disappointed he is in Buffalo and the fact he'll be in someone's suite just seems wrong.  

 

I hate the argument that he did his time or other cliches.  

 

 

He should be sitting in a prison cell for the rest of his life. Not playing golf and chuming it up in NFL suites. Just wrong in so many ways.

[Livinginthepast]

I'm really stunned about how forgiving some people are on this thread.  The evidence against him was massive, there are no other suspects, the DA completely failed to prosecute an easy case which should have never been lost and finally he has never felt bad or even pretended to at the death of his ex wife and mother of his children (Even if he didnt do it). The man is sociopathic narcissist and disgusting excuse of human being. I dont want him anywhere near this team now or ever again.

I know somebody who was flying in for the game on Saturday, first class...OJ was sitting in front of him.  He's doing okay.  Loved the guy growing up (who didn't?) but am kind of pissed off that he is now glomming on to the current Bills...if they have the kind of year that many are expecting. no doubt it won't go unnoticed.  

He was at games when the Bills were doing badly too, (early 2000s) just like other Bills alumni and usually sitting in a suite.  It’s not as deep as you want to make it out to be.

[BullBuchanan]

maybe if he's hard up for cash he could franchise his book: "If I Did It 2: The Matt Araiza Story"

[WotAGuy]

Thank God we have Josh Allen as the face of the franchise now. OJ needs to just go away.

will he be leading the team onto the field?

…..depends on how long he and his pals need to visit Dave and Adams.

That would be incredible.

[JimmyNoodles]

Anybody who has any doubts can watch this.  He loses he "hypothetical" premise as he talks about what happened.  Anybody who knows anything about this case knows he was the murderer.  Total POS.

At his age I'm against bringing him in for a tryout.

[LabattBlue]

I hope there is an update to this thread during the game, that someone punched OJ in the face, and follows with “that was for Nicole”, and walks away.

Thumbs up would (sadly) win in a landslide.  

Gug hearing OJ is in town brings up a lot of emotions for me. All the way from seeing him live at Rich stadium,  his endorsements, media TV announcer....to now ex con and felon/murderer. Oh yeah I think he needed rot in jail for what he did. Seeing he out of prison and schmoozing it up at Bills games i disgusting on its face. So we need to suck it up and know he is gonna do what he wants wether we like it or not. Overall is he a guy that people still look up to? Pfffft that would be people who believe in redemption, people who think he is due respect if not just for his football stats/career...I honestly dont think that number is very many.

 

**limp clap** oj you had all and u ***** your own life up here on earth. God will be your ultimate judge hermano.

hence why I was asking about his seating at highmark. Dude wouldn't just sit in the stands would he? I would think he needs security at a venue like tonight. No guarantees he is going to be welcomed with open arms by bills mafia. Im curious.he has to be in a box. Just a guess.

I am going to be very harsh.  This is an affront to humanity.

 

If the Bills did this, then the NFL should go as far out of its way as it needs to to prevent the Bills from ever making the playoffs again.  And if he dies of anything resembling natural causes, such as a heart attack, cancer, etc., then the Bills should be forcibly moved to Toronto and all fomer Bills fans and their descendants should be permanently banned from football games at any level in perpetuity.

[Bills1985]

When I was in the 3rd grade (1993) my teacher gave us an assignment to write a paper about any historical person. Being a young Bills fan, I chose to write about OJ Simpson. As an 8-year old, the 1970s seemed historical at the time haha. I remember going to the library and checking out books about him to gain the information I needed. Unlike most school projects, I really enjoyed completing that one.

 

Then the murders happened, I gave OJ the benefit of the doubt and hoped that he wasn't involved. On June 17th, I remember returning home late one evening and turning on the tv to watch OJ eluding police in the white bronco. At that time I figured he was 100% guilty. All of the evidence presented afterwards pointed to him. His actions were senseless, selfish and evil. 

 

Pretty good lesson for me at that age to never put any celebrity on a pedestal of hero worship.

Honestly, why are we even discussing this.  "He is just a human being who did some things".  Seriously?

Yea that is a little crass. Everyone has an OJ opinion tho and it can’t be changed.

I wasn't emphatic enough.  You're absolutely right. That's the minimum he should be doing

[The Frankish Reich]

If taking his name off the wall makes him stop coming to Bills games, please, Mr and Mrs Pegula, make it happen. Now. I mean surely they’re not gonna put his name up there all over again in the new stadium?

I get that people feel that way, and I'm not here to convince you feel any other way about him.  

 

My view is different.  The way we operate in this country is that we have a criminal and a civil justice system to address problems like this.   The system is pretty good, and in fact it's better than most other countries, but it isn't perfect.  The point of having the system is that the system imposes the penalties on people, rather than having private citizens impose the penalties.   That means to me that my job, as a private citizen, is to accept the outcome of the criminal and civil processes and move on.  The guy is entitled to come out of the process free to move on with his life.   He's just a human being who did some things and on whom the society has imposed some collection of consequences.   It doesn't mean he isn't a human being trying to make a life for himself.  

 

Having said that, I don't want my team welcoming back into the fold.   From the Bills' point of view, he has to be OJ, private citizen, for the rest of his life.  

 

 

 

"who did some things" 🙄

Pretty sure just not including his name is how they're planning on sweeping that issue under the rug without making a big deal about it.
