Former NFL running back O.J. Simpson died on Wednesday after a long battle with cancer. He was 76. [...]And he later served at least 7 years in prison for involvement in a robbery. Chillingly enough, he may have converted to Islam in the past decade. Now, he's gone, and his tattered legacy since collapsed. It's obviously a shame this had to happen when it did, but that's what sad about reality.
Simpson achieved fame as a college football star at the University of Southern California (USC) and followed that up with a stellar 11-year career in the NFL before launching a successful broadcasting and movie career.
However, in 1994, Simpson’s fame gave way to infamy as video of him fleeing Los Angeles police officers in a white Bronco after he was charged with the murder of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ron Goldman.
Simpson went to trial to contest the charges in 1995 and was acquitted of criminal murder. The verdict came as a shock to many who believed Simpson was the murderer and that the verdict was fraudulent.
Two years later, Simpson was found civilly liable for the murders.
Update: Goldman's father had some strong words to say following the news:
Fred Goldman, the father of Ron Goldman, who was murdered alongside Nicole Brown Simpson in June of 1994, has strong words after hearing of the passing of O.J. Simpson.The guy's got a point.
[...] NBC reporter Daniel Arkin said he spoke to Goldman Thursday to get his reaction to news of Simpson’s death after a battle with cancer.
“The only thing I have to say is it’s just further reminder of Ron being gone all these years,” Goldman said. “It’s no great loss to the world. It’s a further reminder of Ron’s being gone.”
Update 2: the New York Times was condemned for a bizarre downplay of OJ's offenses.
