He's easily the most famous American sportsman other than Tyson

Turns out to raise your profile you just need to kill or rape
That’s an insane thing to say. Americans more famous than OJ ever was just off the top of my head:

1. Michael Jordan
2. Tiger Woods
3. Muhammad Ali
4. Tom Brady
5. Lebron James

I meant living so Ali was out. Woods huge but golf isn't a massive sport compared to others. Probably bigger than NFL in terms of eyes. NFL's biggest market in Europe is the UK and if you asked the average person to name one player they wouldn't be able to. Basketball is completely off the scene but globally probably bigger than NFL but not movie/murder big

At one time he was very famous, especially since he was black then that whole double murder thing hurt him pretty bad. We’re talking about a time when they only had a handful of channels and OJ was seen as a “nice” black man. You didn’t have to watch football to know who OJ was, he had multiple spokesperson deals and did popular commercials
Funny, him and Bill Cosby we’re two of the first really famous black celebrities (loved by white people) even though one drugged and raped a bunch of women and the other killed his wife and a waiter from a restaurant who picked a REALLY bad time to bring back Nicole’s sunglasses.

I’m not saying he wasn’t famous, he just isn’t the most famous American athlete, by a mile.

OJ was seen as one of the “nice” black men which means white people loved him. OJ didn’t even like other black people and was the only black guy living in Brentwood. Him doing commercials for multiple companies was a big deal back then.

A lot of that though is due to the murders. People who didn’t watch football knew who OJ was which is the test of how big an athlete is. That why the murder was so shocking - to compare to today would be like if someone like Shaq murdered his ex wife and a waiter.

Yeah, he’s famous. But not nearly as famous as Lebron or Jordan. Millions of chinks know who they are and probably never heard of any NFL player, murderer or not.
