Petition Buffalo Bills to Retain O.J. Simpson On Team's Wall of Fame
The Issue
O.J. Simpson, a legendary figure in the history of the Buffalo Bills, played an instrumental role in defining the team's 1970s era. Wearing the iconic No. 32 jersey, Simpson brought glory and recognition to the team, not only through his exceptional skills on the field but through his commitment and dedication to the Buffalo community and its fans. Simpson rushed for 10,183 yards and 57 touchdowns during his nine seasons with the Bills. He was a five time All-Pro running back, and won the 1973 NFL MVP award. However, today, his contributions are conspicuously absent from the team's Wall of Fame, at the new Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, NY.
It's important to remember that history, in all its forms, must be preserved. Regardless of later personal controversies, the impact O.J. Simpson had on the sport and the team is undeniable. During his tenure with the Bills, Simpson not only achieved greatness with individual accolades such as the MVP award and multiple rushing titles, he also elevated the Buffalo Bills to a position of national prominence.
Simpson himself has expressed his unwavering loyalty to the team and its legacy, and once stated that "When I played there, I tried to honor the team. Since I left, I always tried to honor the Bills". This statement underscores the love and respect Simpson retained for the franchise and its history.
By including O.J. Simpson's name and No. 32 jersey on the Wall of Fame, the Buffalo Bills will address what feels like a glaring omission and offer recognition for professional excellence where it's merited. This gesture would not be an endorsement of Simpson's off-the-field life, but an acknowledgment of his indelible contributions during his time in the NFL, as a Buffalo Bill, and would preserve a complete and truthful history of the team.
Join us in urging the Buffalo Bills organization to do justice to the team's history and legacy, by including O.J. Simpson on the new stadium's Wall of Fame. Sign this petition to ensure that the rich history of the Bills does not overlook one of its pivotal figures. Thank you.
