Simpson lamented missing the funerals of boxer Muhammad Ali and pop star Michael Jackson, among others, while in prison.

He also offered commentary on former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick's decision to kneel during the national anthem in 2016, saying he believed it was a "mistake" for Kaepernick to continue his protests.

"I really appreciate what he was trying to say. I thought he made a bad choice in attacking the flag," Simpson told The Buffalo News. "I grew up at a time when deacons were in the KKK. I don't disrespect the Bible because of those guys. The flag shouldn't be disrespected because of what cops do. The flag represents what we want America to be."

Added Simpson: "When he did it the first time. I thought, 'Well, you took a gamble, and I give you credit.' But it was him continuing to do it where he made the biggest mistake. I'm a firm believer of doing what you think is right, but I would always stand for the flag."

I definitely listen to OJ when it comes to his opinion on items such as respect and morality.

OJ Simpson murdered other people. I've ignored everything hes said after that, and so should everyone else.

Who is OJ Simpson to say what the flag means to the rest of the country?

No, the kneeling shite never pissed me off, or even annoyed me.

Had people turned their back to the flag and been dicks, i would of said, what a a-hole, but kneeling with helmet off, facing the flag is hardly the disrespect people want it to be.
