Thanks for doing this AMA! This is more of a conjectural question, but: Boston has always seemed to have a very close and almost personal relationship with their sports teams and stars. When many years have passed since Hernandez’s death and the Patriots have left the Bill Belichick/Tom Brady era that Hernandez was a part of, how do you think Hernandez will be remembered? As a villain or as a tragic figure? In many ways, he seems like a victim of circumstance and of a system that prioritized his athletic talents over his mental heath, but that also doesn’t change his actions.

Do you feel the Russian doping scandal was handled appropriately? Should they have been allowed to compete? And which nations felt most strongly about it?
