Josh Rivera tells how Aaron Hernandez’s CTE and sexuality informed ‘American Sports Story’ finale

The season finale of “American Sports Story” laid bare the tragic end for Aaron Hernandez, that once promising NFL player. I don’t remember the context in which his lawyer told that story, but that’s a real story that his lawyer told and he expressed feeling a lot of sympathy in that moment toward Aaron. Narratively, I think, just as a consumer, you want something that’s just even a little bit like a period. I like to say no because I don’t really subscribe to the idea that you have to take things home with you. And it’s a cool feeling to be like, “Oh, this is a good place to start.” It gets me really excited for other stuff that I might do in the future.
