Despite leading the NFL in rushing yards for multiple seasons, O. J. Simpson’s legacy will be permanently tainted by his underwhelming performance in the 1979 season.
“In his prime, he was renowned for his agility. Nobody was as good as O. J. when it came to dodging charges by the other team,” reflected Isaiah Barnes, a former fan of Simpson. “But what happened in 1979 was inexcusable. His retirement season is a conspicuous stain on his career.”
“Honestly, I can’t believe some people still defend O. J.,” scoffed Isaiah regarding how some fans forgave his poor performances on the field. “Just because the NFL inducted him into the hall of fame doesn’t absolve him of all wrongdoing. Think of all the 49ers fans he let down. I’m sorry, but what he did in 1979 was unforgivable.”
