I found this old advertisement in Marvel Comics’ Star Trek
Vol. 1 Issue No. 3, and it struck me so powerfully that I thought I’d share it
with you.
O. J. Simpson won a college scholarship, a Heisman Trophy,
was a two-time All-American, and played a prominent role in what is regarded as
one of the greatest games of the twentieth century. And all that was before he went to the
National Football League (NFL), where he played in six Pro Bowls, was named was
1973 Player of the Year, and became the first player to rush more than 2,000
yards in a season. Clearly, there was a
time when he seemed bigger than life, and he channeled the public’s fascination
with him into a successful post-athletic career as an actor and sports
commentator. And yet, all that good was
wiped away forever, and our perception of him irrevocably changed, because of
what he apparently did later.
How we treat others matters.
Not just yesterday and today, but every day of our lives.
