Based on the vacate law, I'm now wondering if this wasn't his final act of revenge, denying his victims access to the funds in his estate, so that it could go to his daughter.

He was a bad person, please do not blame religion, or lack of.He was twisted.
"I" didn't.

I'd like to get my hands on his lawyers.

I think that was a coincidence. UNLESS he wanted news of his death to taint the visit.
What is worrying me is that it took him five hours to die. His family will probably also have a lawsuit against the Commonwealth now because he should have been checked within those five hours.

Between the men that have beat their wives, got involved in drugs, illegal dog fighting - the list is endless - I wouldn't spend one dime of my money to buy their gear or tickets to games. Or watch them on TV.
If our teachers could make half of their salaries, our education system would be in awesome shape. And so would our kids.
Stepping off my soap box now.....

Athletes that get involved, in the behaviors that you mention, make the news and get a great deal of attention.
I have no doubt, there are far more athletes, that are disciplined, hard working, valuable members of society. Men and women, who are loving partners and devoted to their children and xtended family members.
It's unfair to judge an entire profession, by it's least desireable members.

What took Aaron Hernandez down another, horrific path? Push me off the boards for being an old fogie, but I think that when a young and impressionable population ingests much violence and not too much spiritual and aesthetic beauty, personalities become estranged, unloving, sociopathic.
I put a lot of what has destroyed the American fabric that held together so many noble generations at the feet of Madalyn Murray O'Hair.. I feel I must hasten to add that I am not a Bible-thumper, but disseminating loving thoughts of compassion and goodness had a salutary effect on most. Higher-minded thoughts that inspire us to do better, help others and love our fellow man have a definite effect. Their absence also has an effect.
Also to blame -- BIG TIME! -- are Hollywood and all the art forms that have celebrated cruelty, ugliness, grossness and fostered contempt for one's fellow man. I know, I know, many are now angry with me, but you've only to look at some of the films from the 1940s or listen to music from previous eras to know that what the folks at that time heard, saw and learned was on a more refined level. There was a kind refinement and love apparent that is missing now. This is not to say that there are no longer works of art that are sensitive to the "human condition" and inspire, but they are uncommon, I think.
Okay, I said my piece.
Wow. Can you show any statistics that atheists commit more crimes than a religious person?

No kidding. The molesting priests come to mind. Surely THEY were not God-less. A lot of good it did for those poor kids who were victimized.
