    He was a lost kid before Football but being a spectacular athlete got him through school(s). I grew up with plenty of kids just like him. They dropped out of HS as soon as they turned 16 and they just disappeared. Criminal environments usually raise criminals. Parents that don't treat their kids right usually raise cold hearted children.

    All Football did to Hernandez is give him a free ride to passing school so he could play Football. I am sure they drug tested him and I'm sure that they wondered why his urine was cold, when they got the sample.
    I mentioned some of that as a multi-factorial thing. But the brain condition he had specifically decreases impulse control among other things. Childhood sex abuse ( which I was unaware of do you have a link?) doesn't do that. Or a link about him specifically being an always stoned blood?

    I think the concussion issue will end football as we know it.
