The connection between some pro athletes and the "hood life" has always
left me perplexed.
I know some come from rough backgrounds, where their families, coaches or mentors work with them to keep
them from falling victim to the entire street culture. Some succeed, some don't.
Then they move on to college where they’re exploited and millions are
made from their play, yet they don’t see a dime…
Finally they make the pros. They can get paid.
They’ve won, made it.
All the benefits of being a professional athlete paired with
the opportunity to better their lives.
So why the hell would they want to continue to be apart of
that lifestyle?
This entire Aaron Hernandez situation makes me
want to sit down with the dude.
Just as a curious individual, and ask; “bro, what the fuck were you
thinking?”
Yes, you are innocent until proven guilty, but it’s very
clear that Hernandez, along with two other men summoned by Hernandez via text
were with 27 year-old semi-pro player Odin Lloyd the night he was murdered in a
industrial park a half-mile from Hernandez’s home.
Did this guy learn anything from the Ray Lewis situation
back in 98? In fact
it’s worse; this isn’t some altercation outside a bar or party that led to a
man dying.
This was a
straight up execution and over what?
According to Bristol County assistant district attorney
William McCauley, the motive was that Hernandez caught Lloyd was speaking to
people Hernandez didn’t like…
If that is what comes out to be true during the trial, it
may be the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard….
You’re going to throw away everything…. your career, your
freedom, a right to be apart of your daughter’s life over nonsense like that?!
I just don’t get it.
