This documentary primarily serves as a biographical account of O.J. Simpson's athletic career. Unlike George A. Romero's films, which often include narrative subversions, this film provides significant visibility for a Black athlete within a major cultural institution. The film's focus on professional football naturally emphasizes traditional masculine hierarchies and physical dominance, resulting in limited exploration of gender and LGBTQ+ issues. Overall, the film gains its diversity value from featuring a person of color during a pivotal time in American sports history, even though it operates within conventional institutional frameworks.
