(RNN) - Florida State University has kicked a quarterback off the team after the Florida State Attorney General's Office in Tallahassee released a surveillance video of him punching a woman in the face at a bar last month.

De'Andre Johnson was suspended indefinitely by the Seminoles when word of the incident began to break last week. He turned himself in after police issued an arrest warrant. He was charged him with misdemeanor battery and released on $500 bond. On Monday, hours after the release of the video, he was dismissed from Florida State.

The victim suffered injures to her face and was treated at the scene by paramedics, multiple media outlets have reported.

Johnson, a star high school player from Jacksonville, FL, enrolled early at FSU and participated in the Seminoles' spring game. He threw two TD passes. FSU needs to replace Jamies Winston, the 2013 Heisman Trophy Winner and the No. 1 pick in this year's NFL Draft. Johnson was expected to contend for the position with Notre Dame transfer Everett Gholson and Winston's backup, Sean Maguire.

Obviously, not as extreme as the abuses of actual indentured servants. But the principles are the same. A good system in theory but a terrible system when it's run by a bunch of crooks. If these athletes had true choice, like in NHL or MLB, they would have the choice to go pro or minor leagues if they wanted to get true professional training.

Is anyone forcing them to do anything? No... you argument is bullshit.

It doesn't matter that there isn't another option to get there. They don't have to get there. It isn't required in life. The law won't come hunt them down if they don't do it. That is what indentured servitude is. They have other options in life.

No shit, maybe you should stop making the comparison. Indentured servants don't have a choice. They can't leave until they pay off their debt, which is set up so they never pay it off. A college football player can quit at any time. It is entirely voluntary, to the point that they choose which school, and can even switch schools. Or quit. Nothing like indentured servants at all.
