The legal justice system has long been a subject of controversy, particularly among high-profile celebrities and star athletes. For athletes, the court of law can be a double-edged sword. One prominent figure within the NFL who has found himself in the spotlight both on and off the field is OJ Simpson. When it comes to discussions about ex-NFL players and the court of law, Simpson is often at the forefront. Whatever his thoughts may be in terms of the ruling he received, he stated that he still believes in the legal system. After being sentenced to 9 years in prison, one would expect Simpson to be at least a little wary of it. However, as recent events involving Donald Trump have taken center stage, Simpson didn’t hold back when he spoke about it.
Simpson has never been one to shy away from sharing his wild stories about Donald Trump from the past. Recently, with the former POTUS going through indictment, Simpson once again spoke out and didn’t hold back in sharing his thoughts on the matter.
