11 April was a day of remorse for football fans when Simpsons announced on X that O.J. Simpson, the star and legendary football player and former NFL player, was no more in this world.
Fans got to know that the football star was dealing with prostate cancer, and his existence was on the verge of life and death. This news saddened the player’s fans to a great extent. It was not easy for his well-wishers to digest such ill news about their favorite Simpson.
Simpson was a person who never allowed his diagnosis of prostate cancer to take over his mental health. While his well-wishers and fans used to be worried for him, Simpson, on the other hand, always tried to make himself and people around him comfortable, and he hardly used to talk about his ill health and made sure that it looked too common for a disease to be. His fans thought that he was hospitalized in order to get his prostate cancer treated and was under the serious observation of doctors.
O.J. Posted video on Social Media
O.J. posted a video on social media where he informed his fans that he was not under the medical assistance of doctors but rather that he was going to host his friends, the 49ers, in Los Angeles. He refuted the news of being under medical care and made his fans assured that he was perfectly alright and was having a great time with his teammates.
But when everything seemed fine, Simpson’s other message surfaced on the internet, and little did people know that it was his last interaction with the world and his fans. He posted the video just two days before his demise.
In the video that Simpson posted, he informed his fans that he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and was taking proper medical care. He tried to make his fans feel better by saying that he was responding well and would be perfectly alright within a few days of treatment. He also said that he has planned to play golf in the coming future.
The football star was all hearts and positive in his final words to his fans and well-wishers, but after two days of his positive note to fans, the football fraternity lost a star that always shined brighter and brighter. Simpson’s demise was a great shocker for the world of football, and the fact that he has left a void in the football fraternity cannot be denied.
