Does 'American Sports Story' Overemphasize Aaron Hernandez's Sexuality?
I followed the Aaron Hernandez case about as closely as any NFL fan who wasn’t a Patriots fan. I knew the basics: he was convicted of murdering a close confidant and took his own life in his prison cell a few days after being acquitted in a separate trial for double homicide. Once he died, I stopped keeping up with new developments, and I sure as hell didn’t acquire any insights from Boston sports converse radio, which distills all the racism and homophobia in Massachusetts into rage bait for the average Boston commuter.

After extensive investigate, I concluded that it was reasonable to consider the possibility that Hernandez’s internalized homophobia, along with the bigotry of his father and the broader sports culture, may possess played a role in where his life ended up. However, suggestions that Hernandez was gay were mostly speculative.
This week’s episode of the Ryan Murphy-produced series basically decided to say, “F**k it. Let’s recklessly play up the gay angle!” Yes, the man was raised in a violent home by a violent father in a violent culture, coached in college and the NFL by hard-asses who lacked compassion. But sure, let’s assert that Aaron Hernandez murdered a gentleman, was implicated in several other murders, and took his own life because he might have been attracted to men.
Ryan Murphy has taken the story of a violent psychopath and turned it into a narrative about a gay man struggling with his demo

In Netflix’s docu-series, Killer Inside: The Mind of Aaron Hernandez, one of Aaron Hernandez’s former teammates claimed he had a relationship with the fallen NFL star.
Dennis SanSoucie, who played football with Hernandez at Bristol Core High School in Connecticut, told the series that they had “an on-and-off relationship from the 7th grade to the junior year of high school.”
“When I met Aaron, it was like meeting your twin brother. It was so funny; we were both the same. He has dimples, we’re both ‘cheesy smile,’ all happy. He used to be able to construct everyone laugh,” SanSoucie said.
