There is some new revelation about the life and sexuality of the late convicted murderer and former football player of NFL Aaron Hernandez.

Dennis SanSoucie and Aaron Hernandez-Friendship to Romance

The relationship between high school quarterback, Dennis SanSoucie and tight end Aaron Hernandez started on the football field.

They were in Bristol Central High School in Connecticut where both were great players on the school football team. They used to play around and smoke weed together. In the documentary, Dennis states:

We used to horseplay, that was our thing. We used to love horseplaying and having fun with each other because we were just kids full of life,”

And their friendship soon turned into romance. He said:

Aaron and I had an on and off-relationship from the seventh grade to junior year of high school.”

He went on to add:

“Aaron participated with many people. I was a small piece of Aaron’s sexual activity.”

“At that time frame, the girls didn’t really hang out with the boys after school, so, you know, me and Aaron experimented. And it was something that, I’ll be honest, that we continued because we probably enjoyed it. Um, hello?”

Why did the couple not come out?

Aaron and Dennis continued with their secret relationship and did not come out of the closet. Stating the reasons, Dennis said:

If I look at it now in the year that we’re in, yes we were in a relationship back then. But at the time you don’t look at it like that. Here I am the football player — I was in such denial, such denial because I was an athlete. You mean to tell me that the quarterback and the tight end, he’s gay? He sleeps with other men? No, it doesn’t sit right with people. It doesn’t sit right within our own stomach at that time.”

Besides, the fathers of both of them were openly homophobic. Dennis explained:

“After doing it, it was like, ‘F***, did someone catch us? Did someone know? Dude, if we get caught, it’s ruined. Our parents are going to disown us,’”

Dennis SanSoucie revealed that Aaron’s father, Dennis Hernandez was particularly stricter. He said:

“Dennis Hernandez was a a man’s man and a father that slapped the f*ggot right out of you.”

Aaron’s father was abusive and hence Aaron used to be his best self in front of him. Dennis SanSoucie said:

“He knew he had to be on a different set of behavior around his father. And I was very similar. So it was something that — we just had the ability to turn it on and turn it off. We had to hide what we were,”

The new documentary states that Aaron repressed and hid his true sexual identity throughout his life due to fear. This stressed him and led to his downfall. The former Patriot Ryan O’Callaghan came out in 2017. He reasoned out the problems with Aaron and said:

If he was able to to be himself and have some of these negative things not in his life, what kind of difference would that have made?”
