Bills Exclude O.J. Simpson from New Stadium's Wall of Fame

A Legacy Reconsidered

The Buffalo Bills have decided not to include Pro Football Hall of Famer O. J. Simpson in their new stadium's Wall of Fame. O. J. Simpson was the first member of the Wall of Fame when it was established in 1980. The decision comes as the team opens its new stadium.

Can a Hall of Famer be Forgotten?

The exclusion of O. J. Simpson raises questions about how teams balance on-field accomplishments with off-field actions. The decision may set a precedent for how other teams handle similar situations.
