'Keep them open': OJ Simpson warns he'll go 'crazy' if golf courses close

O.J. Simpson said he would go "crazy" if he can't play golf because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The 72-year-old former NFL star and actor, who was found not guilty of murdering his wife in one of the highest-profile court cases in American history, said the government would need to "open up some insane asylums" if quarantine measures continued in a tweet posted on Thursday that contained the text: "Keep them open. A lot of people need them."

"I know if I can't play golf for the next month, I'm [going to] go crazy," Simpson said.

Simpson pleaded not guilty to the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman and was acquitted in 1995. He was later found liable for the deaths in a 1997 civil case and later spent nine years in prison for armed robbery and kidnapping before being released in 2017.

Since joining the platform in July, Simpson has used Twitter to upload videos musing on topics ranging from news events to life advice.

“I think, for some of the older guys, that golf is their only exercise, I think it’s going to hurt ’em if you start closing all the golf courses,” Simpson added.

Get over it!

My cousin recently had surgery,so her husband, an avid golfer, gave up his game to stay home for a week. He was putting together a foursome for this weekend when all hell broke loose about the coronavirus, the country club where he plays closed and since he is at high risk, his wife insisted he stay home anyway.  So now hubby is one very unhappy camper.  But my cousin reports that her husband is slowly adjusting. 

I'm sure OJ and other golfers can adjust too.

Glad I’m a fisherman. Can’t close down the lakes  because of  COVID-19

Easier to practice "social distancing" when you fish.  Not that many fishermen bunched together in a confining space.   

[Slide Rule]

Yeah. We certainly wish to keep OJ in his preferred mood.
We have seen that other mood a few times.

People can live without golf. I’m more concerned about the playgrounds being closed. Poor kids have no where to go. I haven’t heard children talking/yelling/playing  outside in a week.

I suppose they are home playing Nintendo but that can’t be as good for them as riding a bike?

[Gefn]

Btw, don’t they sell little golf sets to play in your living room or den? I’ve seen that in movies and tv

If they keep the golf courses closed, how on earth will he find the real killers?

I played 9 holes with OJ once - the guy had a wicked slice.

In my area, most playgrounds are at neighborhood parks...so far they remain open.  Most everything else is closed; beaches, schools, restaurants (except drive thru), libraries, churches, some banks (drive thru only) and city buildings.  Post office has limited patron traffic.  Supermarkets are open with some offering senior hours -- most have reduced their hours. Drugs stores are also open.  We are not in a lock down yet, but I think that's not far away.

After all that's where the "real killers" are.

I understand some golf courses have been ordered closed, even it makes little sense as a way of preventing spread of the virus.

That said, OJ can eat rocks and die.

Gee, I hope he doesn't go all homocidal on us....

My cousin's husband belongs to a club which has indoor facilities -- lockers, bar, small cafe, etc.  I think those places would have to close because they don't want people congregating too close together in a confined space. 

And I agree about OJ.  Guess he didn't learn humility while in prison.

[sneakypete]

I dunno. This could be a positive thing,or a negative thing. All depends on where he plays.

Might I suggest he moves to either the left coast or the northeast to play golf?

Do it for American,buddy!

[verga]

I had no idea he had gotten out of prison.
