That and the fact that he's not played in the UK anymore and he's presumably obscure in the US, so it's pretty likely that whoever put that song in the film went out of their way to do so despite or even because of what he did.
Yes, whoever put that song there did so, to make money for the guy or to forward some sort of agenda.

I mean, I can still enjoy the Naked Gun movies, and songs by Austrian Death Machine, so this gets a big shrug out of me.
OJ Simpson was found innocent though. Dubiously so, but that is not the point.

He was found not guilty. As in the state didn't have the means to convict him. They didn't say that he didn't do it on account of due process being violated.

They aren't trying to make money for him, but they didn't care or think about it.
And the "agenda", if there was one, would have been to stoke further controversy and thus attention for the movie.
Apparently it was technically the band he used to be in, not the singer himself (and he's not the voice we here) but still- it's hardly surprising that it has raised some eyebrows over here.
I didn't know much of Gary Glitter when watching the movie, but I did think to myself after the movie how I hadn't heard the tune at any sporting event for a long time. Then I learned why.

Yeah pretty much.
Everybody knows the song since it's played in sports movies that came out leading to the turn of the century, but it was nonetheless vague for being a one hit wonder and having no lyrics.
I think it was ultimately played out not just because of the artist's crimes but because it was simply overplayed to the point that people, especially players, got sick of hearing that tune in every single game, and I'm just talking about baseball. Today it's "Enter Sandman" for every game I go to.

Haha it's right next to We Will Rock You. Those songs are pretty synonymous as crowd hypers.
I don't remember people getting sick of it as much as sports movies going on the decline in that decade. Of course that list has to do with stadium songs I'm pretty sure. I remember a handful of songs repetitively played throughout the years as the A's Coliseum.
