Aaron Hernandez had to be moved to isolation after getting into a fight with another inmate. The headlines about the culture of the NFL locker have came into question after the Jonathan Martin situation and the possibility of Micheal Sam being the first openly gay player in the NFL. What all started the questioning of what type of people are in these NFL locker rooms started with Aaron Hernandez however about a year ago. With not only being accused of one murder, but now three in total, everyone started to wonder what kind of people are in the typical locker room. Surely nobody thought he was ever going to be accused of multi-able murders, but there had to be something that tipped someone off that this guy has some issues.
"Aaron Hernandez has been punished for a physical altercation with another inmate by being relocated to a more isolated part of the Bristol County Jail, where he must spend 23 hours a day and eat meals in his cell, according to a local report."

This kinda of behavior just doesn't come out of no where. Somebody must have known that Hernandez had some issues, but he preformed well on the field so it was overlooked. Thats the problem with the NFL culture. It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you stay out of way to much trouble and can preform well on the field your on the team. NFL teams overlook what kind of person a guy is if he can play well. They turn a blind eye. Thats the NFL culture. If Michael Sam can preform then he's going to be fine. If not he could fall into the same trap Jonathan Martin fell into. It's not about whats wrong or right in the NFL, its about the performance.
