Thomas Sadoski wants the NFL to get upset by FX's ‘American Sports Story’ about the rise and fall of football player Aaron Hernandez
'I think that one of the real shocking standout moments of this show is the image of all of those young men — overwhelmingly young men of color — being lined up and poked and prodded,' Sadoski, 48, told TV Insider on Tuesday, October 1. 'That image is arresting and it should be.'
'I sort of knew all about the combine and I knew I had read about a lot of that stuff. I had seen articles about a lot of that stuff, but to see it up close and personal, even on a film set, was to have your jaw drop,' he noted. 'And part of why I think it’s worthwhile to have like this made is because it shakes the foundation of this established way of doing things that are really twisted.
The first season of American Sports Story, debuted last season and is based on the 'Gladiator: Aaron Hernandez and Football Inc.' podcast, which focused on Aaron Hernandez's time as a tight end with the University of Florida Gators before his stint with the New England Patriots. Josh Andrés Rivera brings the complicated athlete to life as his issues off the field are explored on the show.
'It’s my sense that I got from looking at the trial and reading articles. It’s my sense that he’s a good man at his core. I think also the reality of the situation is that at a certain point, you bump up against the fact that these are adult men that you are dealing with, and they’re going to do what they’re going to do,' he explained.
