Episode 2 of American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez, titled "Consequences, With Extreme Prejudice," really dives into the fallout of Aaron’s actions and how quickly things spiraled out of control. In college, Aaron Hernandez got away with a lot when it came to his bad behavior. Despite several red flags, including violent outbursts and run-ins with the law, he was often let off easy because of his talent on the football field. Coaches and university officials seemed more focused on keeping him in the game rather than addressing his actions, giving him numerous passes that allowed his troubling behavior to go unchecked. This lack of accountability set a dangerous precedent, where his stardom overshadowed the need for real consequences.
