If you’re not wearing a white shirt with your hands behind your back and yelling out ‘Hernandezing’ you could be at the club with a hat on that say’s ‘Free Hernandez’ on the front. If you didn’t see it or you don’t have an instagram, the Pouncey brothers, Maurkice (Pittsburgh Steelers) and Mike Pouncey (Miami Dolphins) put photos of themselves up on the internet wearing hats that say ‘Free Hernandez’ on the front.
After most of the social media world saw the photos, Maurkice Pouncey apologized to his twitter followers;
“I fully recognize the seriousness of the situation involving my former teammate, and I regret that my actions appear to make light of that serious situation. I apologize to anyone who was offended by my actions.”
His brother Mike Pouncey has kept quite on Twitter about the situation but it’s been said that the Miami Dolphins will talk to Mike Pouncey about the picture.
The twin brothers were wearing the hats on Saturday at a Miami nightclub where they were celebrating their upcoming birthdays on July 24th. Both brothers played with former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez at the University of Florida. They were with Hernandez at the Venue Nightclub in 2007 which was the night of a shooting that left two men wounded. Hernandez was questioned by police after the shooting, but at that time they didn’t view him as a suspect.
