Nicole Brown's Sister Tells NFL to Stop Using OJ's Number

A jersey number that once drew cheers now lands like a punch for Nicole Brown Simpson's sister. Tanya Brown is asking the NFL to stop using No. 32—the number OJ Simpson wore during his Hall of Fame career—saying it's still a painful symbol for families connected to the 1994 killings of Nicole and Ron Goldman. Speaking to TMZ ahead of June 12, which marks 32 years since the murders, Brown said seeing 32 on a uniform triggers memories of the case: "Every time I see someone on the field with that number, it brings me back and I have trauma."

Brown isn't launching a formal campaign, but hopes the league will either retire the number or explicitly dedicate it to Nicole and Goldman, with players wearing it in their honor instead of Simpson's. Brown is also promoting candlelight vigils at 8pm local time on June 12 through the Flock of Angels Network, a support group founded in Nicole's memory. As the anniversary approaches, she says she wants the number 32 to evoke the victims—not the former running back. Catch the full piece at TMZ.
