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.

Don't really see how this is an issue, at all.

Stealing crab, well, much bigger issue.

The Sexual Assault is a non-issue to me, he was not convicted. He should not have that used against him at all.

Please, tell me what government representative reprimanded him for his speech in the Student Union.

Marino didn't have a cocaine problem

I hope every f$u fan is praising him and defending his actions just to hang on this small winning streak they got going.

What a dumbass. Keep pissing away your shot at being a 1st round pick in the NFL draft, he is worse than Manziel.

He is free to say whatever he wants.

He is also free to incur any ramifications for what he says.

Such as losing his privileges of a free education and playing football.

Winston didn't voice his opinion on the philosophies of life. He's talking shit.

Don't be a douche.

Probably the straw that broke the camel's back. It's not the first incident that he has showed some serious character flaws, it's the 3rd.

That we know of.

Pretty much. I don't see how any team would decide that Winston should be a top pick in the draft with all of these off-field issues blowing up in the league.

This will have zero effect on his draft status

Won't affect his status but will certainly affect his draft grade. Some teams simply won't touch him because they won't want to take the risk of Winston tarnishing their public image.

In a league where the QB is generally considered as the face of the franchise, teams are going to shy away from drafting a POS to be their franchise QB.

Just like OJ didn't kill two people because he wasn't convicted.

reerun.

Quote:

Georgia Cappleman, the chief assistant state attorney who helped operate the sexual-assault investigation, told The New York Times this past April that "I believe that Mr. Winston cannot be convicted. I don't necessarily believe that he's innocent."

So Casey Anthony's dead child is a non-issue to you as well. Since, you know, she wasn't convicted.
