OJ Simpson, the Most Tragic and Consequential Athlete in American History, Dies at 76 (Video)

This is an 11 April 2024 video from Jason Whitlock and  Steve Kim on Blaze TV.

Former NFL star turned world’s most famous double-murder suspect O.J. Simpson succumbed to cancer at 76 years old.

Jason says that O.J. is the most consequential athlete in American history. His impact on American culture exceeds the impact of Jackie Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth, and even that of women’s basketball icon Caitlin Clark.

O.J. helped establish the cable news industry as a staple of this country’s television habits. His trial for the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ron Goldman defines the American criminal justice system. He is the original George Floyd, the criminal turned martyr/hero. Simpson’s opportunistic use of race as a shield to foil criminal justice is the real spark to Black Lives Matter, not Trayvon Martin.

If we have a second Civil War, his acquittal verdict will be remembered as “The Compromise of 1995.”

Steve Kim joins “Fearless” to discuss and debate the complicated legacy of “The Juice.”
