You guys really need to learn to separate the athlete from the person. He is getting a statue for his greatness on the field not because of his life off the field.

The College Football Hall of Fame inducted him and he was not stripped of his Heisman. Deal with the statue

That's why it's fine that he's in the CFB HOF and has his jersey retired those are for his accomplishments before his crimes. OJ hasn't been stripped of his Heisman or thrown out of the HOF either but I don't think USC should build a statue of him

In my opinion, statues should be reserved for those that are truly great on and off the field. I'm not going to lose sleep over it, but that's my opinion.
