#BuffaloBills to redact #NFL history and wipe the late great infamously #NotGuilty #OJ Simpson from new stadium's team highlight exhibits.

Amongst his irrefutable #HallOffame career achievements, Simpson was first NFL running back to ever have a 2,000 rushing yard season. During his 1969-1977 run with the Bills, Simpson played in 6 Pro Bowl games and despite never making the Super Bowl, he led the entire league in rushing 4x (1972, 1973, 1975 and 1976) with his 1973 per-game rushing average of 143.1 yards still the NFL record. OJ was the NFL’s Player of the Year in 1972, 1973 and 1975, and he made consecutive All-Pro teams from 1972 to 1976.
