O.J. Simpson, a controversial figure known for his NFL career and the murder case he was involved in, was notably left out of the 'In Memoriam' segment at the recent ESPY Awards, sparking discussions about his legacy and actions. While ESPN chose not to honor Simpson, the BET Awards had previously included him in their tribute, leading to contrasting opinions among viewers and the families of the victims involved in the murder case. Simpson's exclusion from the ESPYs highlighted the ongoing debate about whether his athletic achievements outweigh the criminal allegations against him, with some criticizing the decision while others supported it.
