The Buffalo Bills will not honor OJ Simpson at their new stadium, and you can probably figure out why
100%
The [Buffalo Bills](https://www.foxnews.com/category/sports/nfl/buffalo-bills) are preparing to move into their brand-new stadium; however, one franchise legend will not be included among his fellow franchise greats at the new Highmark Stadium. And I'll give you one guess as to who that is. Yeah, it's [O.J. Simpson](https://www.foxnews.com/us/oj-simpson-murder-trial-suppressed-witness-testimony-casts-shadow-over-verdict). that was an easy one. [**OJ SIMPSON'S BIBLE FROM ROBERT KARDASHIAN SR. SELLS FOR HEFTY PRICE AT AUCTION, KIM KARDASHIAN'S OFFER DENIED**](https://www.foxnews.com/us/oj-simpsons-bible-from-robert-kardashian-sr-sells-hefty-price-auction) Despite his turbulent post-football life — which might be the understatement of the century — "the Juice," who died in 2024, was honored at the team's soon-to-be former stadium. He played for the Bills from 1969 to 1977 before going into announcing, acting, and — allegedly, though he was acquitted in the eyes of the law the first time — _other things_. But during that time, he was a superstar and led the league in rushing for four seasons and received all kinds of accolades. So, it can be kind of tough to decide how to treat his complicated legacy, and at least at their new stadium, the Bills are drawing a very clear line in the sand: no Juice. "We have made an organizational decision that he is not a fit to display inside our new stadium and Family Circle," Bills COO Pete Guelli said in a statement, per [The Score](https://www.thescore.com/nfl/news/3559214/bills-wont-honor-o-j-simpson-among-team-legends-at-new-stadium). Wait. the alleged double murderer who got thrown into the clink for stealing his own memorabilia isn't fit to display in your new stadium? [**NY GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL TRIES TO GET BILLS CHANT GOING AT NEW STADIUM, COMPLETELY FAILS**](https://www.foxnews.com/outkick-sports/ny-governor-kathy-hochul-tries-get-bills-chant-going-new-stadium-completely-fails-) _WHAT?!_ Not even a homage to post-jail O.J.? The one with a [Twitter](https://www.foxnews.com/category/tech/companies/twitter) account? Who would just ride around in a golf cart, spinning yarns and giving out fantasy football advice? Well, suit yourself. Of course, that's the smart move. In this day and age, they couldn't unfurl an O.J. banner or bust in their new stadium without having to spend at least a couple of days in full-blown PR crisis mode. And no one wants to do that. But hey, we all know what he did on the field — and off it — whether the team puts him in their stadium or not.
