Those images when they were talking about the Swamp restaurant/bar were so far from what it actually looks like Don't know where they pulled those visuals from
But him going so hard at the trannys/gays was a lil extra though his girl was basically like why do you care?
It’s too fresh for a doc like this to have an impact like Making a Murderer or the OJ one
Everything in this one already was in the Boston Globe piece
6.5/10
there’s plenty of dudes ravaged by CTE who didn’t become serial killers
The CTE didn’t help but him being a sociopath was the biggest reason.

"You just have those thoughts about should you end it?" Lewis said according to Bleacher Report. "I can only imagine with sleep apnea and heart attacks and heart disease. Who wants to go out like that? Especially when you have people upset with you—your wife upset with you, pissed off, you have to file bankruptcy, made bad decisions…"
Along with the concussions, Lewis also spoke about how at times he will forget where he is driving and just keeps going in the same direction until he can remember, and how he has to put in more effort to control his attitute to keep from getting too angry over things. Lewis said he deals with "moments" of depression about two times a week.
alot more than sometimes. hollywood be touchin on that shyt highkeyYeah sometimes the cats that be going extra hard be down low
Hell no. He left countless evidence behind.
Yeah, not even Johnnie Cochran could save that dude.
There are plenty of examples of former football players doing wild stuff. The only difference is now there is a spotlight being put on it. You're taking already at-risk-kids, putting them in an intense environment and then giving them brain damage. People downplaying CTE are the exact reasons why the culture of "stay on the field" still remains and you're talked about if you come out of a game because of a "headache" (see: Carson Wentz last week).
When you watch this documentary it just makes you understand even more why football has so many players doing wild things. Yes, football has larger rosters, but even then, you rarely see this with basketball players. You don't hear about former basketball players shooting themselves after they retire. Reading about former RB Jamal Lewis having suicidal thoughts because of the pain is
Football is my favorite sport to watch but it's the absolute worst sport to play. Honestly, nothing really good comes from playing it because the contracts aren't even guaranteed, but lasting physical effects are. Hernandez was 27 with the most advanced case that the doctor had ever seen for a young person.
I do feel their was a definite "gay agenda" throughout this documentary to sensationalize the story. He may have experimented, but I think that was mainly due to him being molested as a kid. We only hear about the HS QB and the alleged jailhouse lover, so it's not like any other partners have come out from college nor the NFL days. And even then I have to question the two that came out's validity because they only did it AFTER he died. They could be some truth, but it just feels like they want attention for themselves.
Beli shutting down the trade request was a bad look as well but we already knew them to be a scumbag organization. They had to have done their homework and knew that urban tried to keep him away from his hometown during the summer for a reason
The comment that he made to Kraft was justPossibly the most sloppiest crime I have ever heard about
The doc wasn't overtly gay or whatever u guys are going on about. I agree the h.s. QB is a lil extra but what about his prison lover he left a suicide note to? The officers in the prison leaked info to reporters. Why would they lie if they're being anonymous? He asked one of his lawyers who was gay if he believed gay people are born gay. Why would he ask that?
Aaron Hernandez was most likely gay and there's nothing wrong with that. He didn't commit crimes because he was a closet gay, losing his father, moving in with his cousin who influenced the fukk shiit, his mom being a stupid thot, CTE, football culture or whatever excuse people are giving him. Dude was a psychopath. Not a sociopath. Difference being psychopaths dont have a conscience. Next day he was playing with his baby with his 2 co-conspirators. Dude played a whole season and a superbowl after being involved in a double murder
Overall solid doc, salute to Netflix for not milking this into a 20 episode series. I wished the producers could have gotten more info on hernandez blood gang affiliation and his transgressions after he left his hometown. Ultimately Hernandez was a plague to those who chose to be around him and those that didn't deserve to die. Unfortunately they were all black men.
