Why, Oh Why?

Just curious. Why is it that the name "O.J. Simpson" sparks so much divide amongst people? I checked the poll results again of the article mentioned in a previous blog. The race has tightened some, as only 83% of people agree with the owner, 12% don't, and 5% are undecided. I read a few of the posts though, in response to the article, and many were vicious.

So, just a question, why does the topic of O.J. Simpson create such a divide in this country? There are the topics of: abortion, immigration, gay marriage, and O.J. Simpson. Whenever any of these subjects are brought up, expect anger, yelling, and perhaps a few fists flying around.
