Before the Super Bowl, U.S. Bank Stadium ran through an NFL Memoriam of different NFL figures who died in the past year. Obviously, there were some greats lost in the last year, but the most jarring one to see was Aaron Hernandez. Who would think that Hernandez would get a mention on Super Bowl? It’s amazing that the NFL would think it’s a good thing to honor Hernandez with people like Ken Stabler and many others. I know he’s a former player, but at the same time, the dude is a murderer whose family is currently suing the league for not taking care of his CTE. It’s just a weird move.

NFL honors the deceased up on the video board, including one Aaron Hernandez.

Hernandez is a player who passed away last season, but he’s the type of guy I think the league wants to distance themselves away from. I get there might be some asking ‘What about Hernandez’ if he didn’t get mentioned, but it’s probably better to just go without him honestly. Could you imagine if someone actually owns a Hernandez jersey? Like you have to give that to Goodwill, right? Or just throw it away?
