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.

Hook him up with Rex Ryan. He can do both football and podiatry at the same time.

Heh! Was just talking to my daughter on the phone who was talking about her Mass Media Law course where she learned sexual harrassment, at least at FSU, as little as preventing a women from moving.

So who does she see in the parking garage afterward? Jameis Winston.

What was he doing? She said he blocked a girl from moving up the stairs.

He gets away with it because he's the QB she said. Then later she saw him opening the door for a girl.

Pretty much been established that Winston is an entitled POS that you don't want on your team. Ryan Leaf/Johnny Football all over again.

Whaddy'u think?

NFL Media's Albert Breer spoke to one area scout assigned to FSU who said redshirt sophomore QB Jameis Winston "is a fraud."
The scout opened by saying Winston's latest actions will hurt him significantly, especially with the recent events occurring in the league. "You can't believe anything he says, because he keeps doing the same things over and over," the area scout added. "In my mind, there are night-and-day differences between (Johnny) Manziel's and his character concerns. Winston has some serious issues." Breer notes he gets the feeling from NFL people that the image Winston has put forward is "manufactured." We think this situation and the draft process needs to play out. It is September.

Feel sorry for the team that drafts Winston.

Well, if he goes the four years of college as he plans, at least per his Dad, maybe he'll grow up and calm down.

Nothing but a racist witch hunt, it is what is/ Arrow.

BucEyedPea · 09-19-2014, 02:25 PM

I don't particularly care if he makes it to the NFL, so long as I can go to an FSU game with a good season. I am going to the Notre Dame v FSU game.

Right, rape allegations, shoplifting, and then more inappropriate public behavior. Racist witch hunt.

They're running on the ESPN bottom line that Winston has been suspended for the whole game now.

Here's my conspiracy theory...

Jimbo Fisher isn't at all confident about this game. He decides to bench Winston so that, if FSU loses, the voters give them a free pass because Jameis didn't play. They already have a soft schedule. Now, they get a mulligan on their toughest game in the eyes of the selection committee.

Agreed.

That actually makes a lot of sense. I would bet there are voters who still would dock them for it... but how many? I don't know.

So what changed? The public opinion that people are to lenient on athletes?
