The Buffalo Bills plan to honor past greats in the Family Circle at the new Highmark Stadium, but O.J. Simpson will not be included, per a WIVB report.
Simpson was the first Bills player to be commemorated in the Wall of Fame in the old stadium after a Hall of Fame career in Buffalo (and later San Francisco). He was the first player in NFL history to run for over 2,000 yards in a single season.
Bills COO Pete Guelli was quoted saying the following:
“We have made an organizational decision that he is not a fit to display inside our new stadium and family circle.”
The Family Circle is situated just outside the gates of the new Highmark Stadium and will be accessible for fans year round. Per WIVB’s article, beyond the three Buffaloes, “plaques honoring Bills greats will also be a part of it,” but now we know Simpson will not be one of them.
Do you think the Bills made the right decision here? I do.
