"Don't stand like a fakkit"

Here we go...


Edit: that car scene

Haven’t seen the ep yet, but did his father say it? If so, that’s how he actually was. AH dad was very homophobic.

There's this weird thing going on in Hollywood where they take someone that died, or career is ruined and they make him homosexual.

Do you not know Aaron Hernandez’s story? They’re not gonna take an actual person that existed and make him gay just because. That’s a lawsuit from the estate.

The show is clearly the MOST interested in him being bisexual, which is nuts for how crazy he was. Not saying that’s ALL they’re interested though. It’s a solid show. I wouldn’t say it’s particularly good. It’ll be better than the Don Sterling show I’m sure. But nowhere near the OJ one which is the bar. I don’t even think it’ll be as good as the Clinton one either.

The Urban Meyer shyt is the best part of the show so far. I’d be just as interested to watch a series on his Florida teams.

Spoiler

2nd episode they Re-enacted the Cam laptop incident and had one of the Pouncey Twins in a orgy wit some groupie, he gave Hernandez a thumbs up with a big azz smile on his face while running thru some chick I died laughing lmao

Still early on but I think they did a decent job laying out how bipolar this MF actually was and despite him tryin to fit in he aint really found anywhere to call home or anyone he was comfortable around

I think some events are a bit outta order, I might be wrong but they did good job in showing Meyers' hypocrisy and him selecting favorites, there's a scene where he does Cam dirty then immediately brings Hernandez in only to suspend him for just a game after bein questioned in that 07 Double Shooting

few non-Harlem scenes in there but it makes sense bcuz dude was closeted irl and moved in the way he did partially bcuz of that chip on his shoulder and paranoia he'd be outed, combine that with the CTE and every drug he was on and dude was a ticking time bomb

Wow. What a surprise. FX wants to focus on his fakkitry. Who would have guessed.
