Is now the time to remove OJ Simpson from the wall of fame and HOF?

It's not for what he did on the football field.

He was found innocent and was allowed to go home after the criminal trial.  I get that it was “the trial of the century” but he faced a long trial and was found to be not guilty by the jurors.  So now the Buffalo Bills need to make a stand and avenge murder charges from 1994 in 2021?  🤣 😂 

 

3/4 of the players who have their numbers/jerseys retired have broken the law in one way or another.  A player tribute is strictly a tribute to what the player did ON THE FIELD.  Wow what a saga this has turned into. No one can separate a person’s private life from their career as an athlete?  Maybe Ty Cobb shouldn’t be in the baseball hall of fame?  Should Mark Messier not be in the hockey hall of fame?  He landed so many cheap shots that I’ve lost count.  Where does cancel culture end?  

At the end of the rainbow!!!  🌈 yaay!

No one is asking to cancel a goddamn thing ... let alone a mother ***** person.

It’s nauseating.  You can’t step outside without seeing them spread their “culture”.  Whether it be at a bookstore or cafe, etc..  And they do it unapologetically.  They managed to get certain Dr Seuss books banned!  If someone doesn’t like a book.. here’s an idea, DON’T BUY IT!  What a concept.  But no, we need to ban everything that some people dislike.. and if you do not agree with them, you are a bigot and should be condemned to purgatory.  This is what modern times look like.  The smart phone generation.

Like I said previously he did still lose the civil case, which is why when he tried to profit off of the death of his children's mother by selling a book about how "he would of done it" about real people that were murdered, he had to give the money to the families. Also no one is taking away his numbers, nobody is saying he doesn't hold the records he holds, what people are saying is maybe we don't celebrate him because he's shown himself to be a terrible person.

It is weird seeing all these people complain about being canceled on national television.

Pull them down, burn them at midfield and then rearrange the letters into an amusing anagram like OJ Piss On. That'll learn him

You support and lend a hand to cancel culture.  Many of us do not.  If we have to live among people like you, then you have to live among people like us.  
 

Can you give us an idea of what will be getting cancelled next?  This should probably be a separate thread.

The majority of this forum was fine with “canceling” Mike Vick after he’d served his time. No one seemed to care about what he did “on the field.” So many made proclamations about how they’d be willing to quit their fandom if Buffalo pursued Vick during our QB purgatory and drought.

 

Glad we dodged that bullet, amirite? This probably isn’t remotely related in any way. Carry on.

I think that anyone that has anything signed by OJ, be it a card, photo or memorabilia of any kind..  needs to be arrested and sent to trial immediately.  We have to send a message to these insubordinates that the party is over.  
((SARCASM))

 

I guess we should treat Jim Kelly in a similar fashion since his wife accused him of hitting her.  Everyone wearing an OJ or Kelly jersey should be sent away in cuffs.  

Cancel Culture is thriving and there is no end in sight.

They also had no problem canceling Colin Kaepernick, whose career was literally cancelled/destroyed by the NFL to send a message to players not to get political.

 

It's just a question of what the underlying fact pattern is, I guess, among these people.

 

There's no well thought out underlying principle involved at all.

LOL

I wonder if they include a Bills HoF as part of a new stadium, what do they do about OJ in said HoF?  He is a scumbag and will be until the day he dies, but how do you ignore his time with the Bills?

Their definitely will be a Bills HOF or Ring of Honor for past members in the new stadium. As for OJ it depends on what the Pegula's think. If they judge him on everything then their is a good chance he is left off. If they judge him only as a football player then he absolutely belongs. Both he and Bruce Smith are the two greatest players in Bills history AINEC.

Not only no, but f### no!!

Ralph disgraced the franchise far more than OJ ever did. If you’re going dump anyone, make it Ralph please.

You include it. 

 

The story of the NFL or the Buffalo Bills isn't complete without OJ's accomplishments. The story of OJ isn't complete without his post career incidents. 

 

He should be included and he should be both recognized for the player he was and the person the became.

He was acquitted in a court of law.  Whether you agree or disagree with the verdict is completely irrelevant.  
 

And no, I’m not shy about expressing my opinion. Should everyone who doesn’t embrace cancel culture go hide in a bunker?  Someone gives you guys a finger and you want the entire arm.  It wouldn’t hurt to have cameras directed at people like you at all times.. to ensure that normal people (people who do not live, breathe, eat & drink PC culture) can live free.  

Congrats on the most recent cancellations.

Perhaps.. probably.. but not 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt.  
 

Either way it has zero to do with his ability to dominate football games pretty much by himself.. in an era when every opponent knew that he was pretty much the entire team.  We are debating if he should be removed from Bills history.  The answer is a resounding F*** NO!

Not probably he was, he's had to pay the families a crap load of money, and once again this has nothing to do with what he did on the field. Also this doesn't erase him from Bills history, his numbers, or records.

He was found guilty in a court of law of wrongful death of two people, he was found guilty in a criminal court of violent armed robbery and served 9 years in prison, and he still enjoys a life of luxury best I can tell.  

 

What cancel are you referring to? 

[billsfan714]

I dont see some huge outcry is he's left off the new stadium.
