www.cnn.com/2017/04/19/us/aaron-hernandez-suicide/index.htmlIt's pretty sad that a guy who had the world at his feet ended up like this, though of course he has no one to blame but himself for his troubles. He did a lot of bad stuff. That said, his suicide after his most recent acquittal can't help but suggest--to me, anyway--that the prosecution's star witness in the case was the real killer and that Hernandez wanted to be cleared of those two murder charges before he took his own life. He leaves behind a fiancee and a young daughter. Anyway, his circumstances contrast starkly with those of former College star and NFLer Rashaan Salaam (about whom we have a thread), yet the common thread of big-time football can't be dismissed, how it impacts people and their choices.
