Before he was accused of double murder, OJ Simpson played a huge part in the Buffalo Bills' history. He was the first NFL running back to rush for 2,000 yards in a season, and for a long time, he was the face of the franchise.
But now the Bills want to erase Simpson from their history, and Fox Sports' Rob Parker is not happy about it.
Simpson's plaque won't be on the wall with other Bills greats when the Bills open their new stadium.
“If you ever wanted to know why the Buffalo Bills are losers, have never been able to win a championship and have all kinds of other things going on, this is a prime example. This is the worst of the worst, the most cowardish move I’ve ever seen,” Parker said. “They didn’t do this when O.J. Simpson was alive, and I don’t care what you talk about all the other stuff, because I’m not sitting here trying to make it like O.J. was the perfect person or did everything right.”
“But if you’re the Buffalo Bills, I have a question for you. O.J. Simpson is still in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, O.J. Simpson is still in the College Football Hall of Fame. And he was still honored at your old stadium. Why would you do this now that he’s deceased and that he’s gone? It’s a coward move. You should have done it when he was still alive if you had any cause to do it and say, ‘no, O.J. we don’t care what the jury said, we don’t care about anything, we don’t care about the legal system and how it works in this country and we’ve determined that you’re guilty and we want nothing to do with you.'”
“How the hell can the Buffalo Bills have any kind of honor or ring or salute any players in that freakin’ organization and not include O.J. Simpson? He was the Buffalo Bills. Disgraceful,” Parker concluded.
While Parker is right, it's understandable why the Bills would want to distance themselves from Simpson.
