Jameis Winston suspended for half vs. Clemson over obscenity incident

Florida State announced Wednesday that starting quarterback Jameis Winston has been suspended for the first half of the No. 1 Seminoles' game vs. Clemson on Saturday for yelling an "offensive and vulgar" phrase in the student union on FSU's campus.
Deadspin collected a number of tweets from Florida State students who said they saw Winston standing on a table Tuesday "screaming" the phrase (one made popular by a series of recent viral hoax videos), which uses graphic sexual language. (Both links use the phrase and other R-rated language.)

"As the university's most visible ambassadors, student-athletes at Florida State are expected to uphold at all times high standards of integrity and behavior that reflect well upon themselves, their families, coaches, teammates, the Department of Athletics and Florida State University. Student-athletes are expected to act in a way that reflects dignity and respect for others," Florida State interim president Dr. Garnett Stokes and athletic director Stan Wilcox said in a joint statement.

"As a result of his comments yesterday, which were offensive and vulgar, Jameis Winston will undergo internal discipline and will be withheld from competition for the first half of the Clemson game.

"The University and athletics department will have no further comment on the matter."

On a teleconference Wednesday, Jimbo Fisher said his Heisman-winning quarterback's actions were "not a good decision," per Noles247.

"We have to keep learning, keep educating, and continue to make better decisions," Fisher added. "It is something that has to be addressed ... You can't make certain statements that are derogatory, inflammatory."

Fisher indicated he had spoken with Winston about the incident, saying "everything has been addressed and we are getting ready for the game."

Winston's off-the-field actions have been the target of increased scrutiny since the emergence of a December 2012 rape allegation against the redshirt sophomore late last year, one that has led to a current code of conduct investigation by the school. In April, Winston received a legal citation for shoplifting crab legs from a Tallahassee grocry store.

I think they feel obligated to enforce this largely due to drizzle-down from the NFL business, lately.

Winston seems to be sort of an ass though. I don't know him nor have I paid a bunch of attention to any of the stories - but out of the corner of my eye he appears to be a prick.

Good, banned for an entire game instead of just 1 half. **** him right in the pussy.

No in the arse. He doesn't have one of those.

ESPN is reporting Florida State officials have informed Seminoles quarterback Jameis Winston that he is facing a disciplinary hearing in regard to charges he raped a fellow student in 2012.

That's on the heels of today's dual, damning reports about the role FSU brass and police play in covering up offenses allegedly committed by Winston and other Seminoles players. The ESPN report states Florida State president Garnett Stokes and student affairs VP Mary Coburn informed Winston he could be facing up to four violations of the FSU student code.

He'll end up fine. Unless he was signing autographs during the rape

In all seriousness... So far, the ncaa has laid the hammer down on the big 10. Shrugged their shoulders at Oregon. Shrugged at Miami. They set the bar with Penn state. Where does this fit in?

You have likely followed the others more closely so wondering if the difference being some not so good stuff happened vs. a program was found to be involved in covering it up?

Yeah, that's about right. They seem to lay the hammer down hard on cover ups. Which makes the system a complete joke. Basically, you can break all the rules but when the ncaa finds out, just comply and you'll be fine.

Good, rake the ****er over the coals. However, everyone knows what's going to gappen. They're going to hold a "hearing" and then officially decide not to do anything because they want to win another championship and keep the money flowing.

Poor Criminoles. My heart bleeds for them.

It doesn't sound like Winston is the one on trial here. Fsu is, or should be. But given the laughable way the ncaa handled Oregon, Auburn, and Miami, who the **** knows how they will act.

Sounds to me like they actually did act on it.

Now UF has dismissed their recent QB for similar allegations.

It will be very interesting to see what comes of this. I think what you see is a pattern of the police doing absolutely nothing to fsu players which is a police matter, not fsu. But the real smoking gun, if there is one, looks like it's going to be if it's actually true that fsu tried to reach out to the victim but couldn't. The accusers attorney claims she was willing to talk. If he can prove that then fsu could be in some trouble. Given her credibility, it's a toss up on whether she's telling the truth but I would hope her lawyer wouldn't lie about it.
