OJ Simpson Remains Invitee to Pro Football Hall of Fame Upon Prison Release

If O.J. Simpson wants to attend the annual Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinement ceremonies, he will be allowed to when he is officially released from prison after being paroled on Thursday.  

Per ESPN's Jeff Legwold, Simpson has a standing annual invitation as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. 

"All Hall of Famers are invited to attend the annual enshrinement," Hall of Fame officials told Legwold.

A four-member Nevada parole board voted unanimously on Thursday to grant Simpson release from Lovelock Correctional Center where he has served nearly nine years of a 33-year sentence stemming from a hotel room robbery in Las Vegas. 

Legwold noted Simpson said during his parole hearing that he wanted to live in Florida, so he "could conceivably attend the annual enshrinement weekend once any restrictions that come with his parole allow for travel."

Simpson played 11 NFL seasons with the Buffalo Bills and San Francisco 49ers from 1969-79. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1983 and Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.
