EXCLUSIVE: NFL says they WON’T be commenting on OJ Simpson’s death… with running back’s former teams also still silent after his passing at 76
After reaching out to the NFL asking if they plan on releasing a statement about Simpson, a league spokesman told DailyMail.com that they do not plan on doing so.
The Bills have not yet responded to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.In addition to the NFL and the Bills, neither the University of Southern California nor the San Francisco 49ers have offered a statement.
The Heisman Trophy committee did release a statement that read, ‘The Heisman Trophy Trust mourns the passing of 1968 Heisman Trophy winner OJ Simpson. We extend our sympathy to his family.’
That statement has generated plenty of backlash from people angry that he would be honored after crimes he was charged with or found guilty over.
