Did you follow the Aaron Hernandez case? The documentary has been illuminating. [I Am Curious]

Are we as humans so self programmed to self destruction the consequences don’t matter to us?

From convictions of murder to being found not guilty of other charges. And even his suicide.

I also find it strange that sports have been considered to have a homophobic association with them for so long. Seeing as how they’re the only club like activities that involve showering or undressing in front of your other teammates. It seems as if it’s to overcompensate for feelings of insecurity. You’d think if any club were to be associated with anything homosexual at all in nature it would be sports for involving these things. Since a music club wouldn’t have you strip down in front of others. Neither would home ech. Yet those two examples are more likely to involve teasing or harassment with being made to have homophobic remarks towards them, despite the fact they lack in such displays as sports incorporated within themselves to have it.

It is strange to see the case being made so strongly around his life with so little to do with the why certain people had become his supposed targets for his crimes. Motive was completely lacking. Though the evidence did seem to paint him as the culprit. Particularly the timing of certain tattoos he had chosen to get at the times of the murders.

As well as his suicide speaking strongly to him never having a chance in football again which was the very thing he loved.
watched the documentary. dude led a troubled life. abusive dad, friends heavy in drugs and crime, headcase for a mom, not surprised he turned out like he did. kinda sad, all that talent that went to waste.
@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy his mother was very disturbing. All she seemed to care about was money. At least from the tape recording they showed.

I don't know if I saw the exact documentary that you are talking about but there was one that came outa year or so ago and I watched it and I also had followed the case closely.

I think that Aaron Hernandez is just your typical troubled spoiled popularguy who had no guidance at home and due to his talent he was just given no limits and he ran absolutely wild. Also fueled by drugs and his own tendencies for mental instability he was fast becoming a psychopath.

Regards to sports being homophbic it makes sense. At one time everyone was considered to be straight so there was no "fear" of a gay person being in the locker room. Men were not squemish in the past at being nude near each other until the possibility of their manhood being called into question came about.
@REMsleep His father wouldn’t allow his brother to be a cheerleader. He did have guidance in that his father played the same game and raised him on how to be successful at it. But other than that it all seems like such a strange case to me.

Some evidence made no sense that they tried to convict him of while others he seemed the exact culprit, at least in the murder of his fiancé’s sisters boyfriend.
