The trust that administers the Heisman Trophy is determined to honor a figure who may be its most odious awardee.
The Heisman Trophy Trust mourned O.J. Simpson in a Thursday tweet.
“The Heisman Trophy Trust mourns the passing of 1968 Heisman Trophy Winner O.J. Simpson.”
“We extend our sympathy to his Family.”
Simpson is most known for his acquittal in a 1995 double murder case, rather than his 1968 award and NFL career as a Hall of Fame running back.
The post was flooded with responses objecting to the lamentation of Simpson — and calling for the restoration of running back Reggie Bush’s own Heisman Trophy award.
Should O.J. Simpson have had his Heisman revoked?
