Breaking: More football insanity

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston has been suspended for 1 HALF of FSU's game versus Clemson this weekend for screaming "F*** her right in the p***y" right in the middle of campus yesterday.

Several students tweeted about the incident Tuesday -- saying the Heisman Trophy winner stood up on a table and screamed it from the top of his lungs ... while people around him cracked up.

Of course, the phrase has become an Internet sensation in the past few months ... with hecklers often screaming it behind news reporters who are in the middle of live news shots.

It's just the latest in a string of problems for Winston -- who was convicted of stealing crab legs earlier this year ... and last year, had the cops called on him for allegedly stealing soda from a Burger King.

1. This kid has a screw loose.

[MineralMan]

2. Something ain't right with that guy.

Nope.

[Brickbat]

3. The evolution of that meme has been one of the weirdest, even for the internet.

[Comrade Grumpy]

4. "The phrase has become an Internet sensation in the past few months."

I must have missed that.

[Takket]

6. i was thinking the same thing!

I've never heard of this meme.

[DisgustipatedinCA]

36. That's what I put in the comments section when I serve on DU juries.

Actually, this is the first I've heard of this new sensation.

[seabeyond]

5. Well, when allowing him to rape and cheering him on, what would one expect? Nt

[snooper2]

7. Holy shit that is an actual meme, that went world wide started by one idiot

LOL

[hifiguy]

9. There is always a hammerhead, probably drunk,

ready to be an asshole on TV. It's now one of the laws of the universe.

[Anansi1171]

12. True. But uttered once it is fit for viral propogation?

I am not at all at home in this age.

[hifiguy]

14. These days it seems that the more stupid something is

the more likely it is to become a meme/phenomenon. This country has been dumbed down to a terrifying degree since about 1/20/81.

[Brickbat]

15. The original was actually a fake.

[hifiguy]

8. And people bitched and complained about

the memes we bronies spread around the 'tubes?

Holy crap....that is just effed up, though it sounds far more dopey than malicious if it is just a dumb meme.

[mythology]

10. Some people just need to have life smack them upside the head

He is really a self-entitled dumbass.

[mercuryblues]

11. Wow

I guess when you have a whole team of people dedicated to fix and hide your criminal actions you tend to feel entitled.

How much better would it be if someone sat him down and told him this kind of stuff is unacceptable. Teach him how to respect other people instead of using and abusing them.

This is a soon to be pro football player. Is this the name that teams want on their jersey?

[Aristus]

13. 'Roid raging a little, are we?...

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

16. FSU and Clemson is ABC's primetime game this Saturday.

The announcers will have some explaining to do.

[a kennedy]

17. But he'll be drafted in one of the top ten spots.....

I HOPE NOT.....but some team will draft him high anyway.

[bulloney]

20. He'll get drafted in one of the top 10 spots, engage in criminal or antisocial behavior

and the NFL and its stooges will wonder how in the world could SO MANY of its players act so ignorantly.

These PED-laced athletes who have lived a life of entitlement since high school are a bunch of time bombs that go off. They don't know how to interact in society because they've always had someone cover their backsides in order to keep them eligible to play HS or college ball.

[TheNutcracker]

18. Get rid of him too before he becomes a bad role model too!

[Blue_In_AK]

19. All the more reason

why Marcus Mariota should have won the Heisman. Just sayin'...

[Agschmid]

21. Kick him right off the damn team.

Suspend any existing scholarships. Why is this not the first action done?

[bigwillq]

39. If I were the coach, he would never play for me again.

These programs need to get more serious with their punishments. Sitting out a half isn't going to teach anyone anything.
Kick him off the team.

[LittleBlue]

22. The crab legs burgler strikes again

This man is a complete fool. It's a shame he got his football talent and not someone more worthy.

What an embarrassment for his family and for Florida State. Hopefully this hurts his draft position and therefore his $$$

23. Huff Post on 09-04-214: "Investigation Into Jameis Winston Rape Report"

From Huff Post on 09-04-2014:

"Florida State University Finally Launches Investigation Into Jameis Winston Rape Report"

From the article:

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- An attorney said Florida State is investigating the sexual assault case involving Jameis Winston in an effort to determine if the Seminoles quarterback violated the student code of conduct policy.

Baine Kerr, one of the attorneys for the woman who said Winston sexually assaulted her, said Thursday the university interviewed his client "early last month." He said "an investigation is ongoing."

Florida State Attorney Willie Meggs did not bring charges against Winston in the case, saying last December that there was not enough evidence to win a conviction against him.

"... while people around him cracked up. " It's about the world's complete disrespect for women. Honest to goddess. So many can't seem to control their actions or their mouths. Clue phone, assholes: Out of control is NOT a good thing. Fuckin' cowards because they know there's not a damned thing the women can do about it. Half game suspension -- Oooh! I bet that hurt!

[KamaAina]

25. I think that new expansion team has found its first-round draft pick

the Douchebags.

26. A kleptomaniac with Tourettes?

Weird guy.

[Rhinodawg]

27. Great guy.

[ladjf]

28. Sounds like a psychiatric problem to me. nt

[joeglow3]

29. Sorry, but of all the things wrong with athletes, this is on the ass bottom of the list.

[Le Taz Hot]

31. Maybe on the "ass bottom" of your list

but I bet it's not on the "ass bottom" of her list. Interesting phrasing, by the way; "ass bottom.".

[joeglow3]

37. Who is "her?"

[Le Taz Hot]

40. Well, in this case , "her" would be the woman he was yelling at,

but, in general, all women who have ever been or will ever be in that or similar situations.

[joeglow3]

41. Who was the woman he was yelling at?

I thought he was yelling an internet meme. While distasteful, I would say is fits under freedom of speech (unless, he was yelling it at someone directly, in which case I agree it could be interpreted as a threat).

[Le Taz Hot]

42. Nobody is arguing against his right

to be a douchenozzle but one would hope he could monitor his own behavior to be less so.

[joeglow3]

46. I agree. I also agree that he is a shitbag who should have been done last year.

I just struggle with the idea that he did not sit last year for the rape, but he is sitting this year (for a whole half a game) because of something he said IN LIGHT OF what he did last year.

If anything, I call the university out for doing the wrong thing last year and trying to use this pitiful sentence as a way to make amends for that.

[etherealtruth]

35. Seriously? An accused rapist screams this out ....

... as if it were a joke and it is at the bottom of the list?

Perhaps if this kid/man had NOT been accused of rape it would be asinine (I use this term because of its referenced use behind reporters) and possibly a chance for a learning experience .... but, this is not the case for someone accused of rape

[joeglow3]

38. What other sentences are now part of a lifetime ban?

Don't get me wrong, I agree 100% on being a thief and a rapist.

That said, being accused (and not convicted) doesn't suddenly mean he loses his freedom of speech.

[etherealtruth]

43. No one has suggested a loss of freedom of speech ....? I don't recall mentioning anything r/t to

... a lifetime ban for anything..... Has anyone seriously stated that a governmental entity prosecute or intervene in any way related to his speech (i.e. loss of freedom of speech)?

Freedom of speech does not mean there are NO consequences for ones speech .... the university, without doubt, has a code of conduct for its football players.

Playing on the football team is not a right. His conduct was very unbecoming .... it is irreverent whether the accusation of rape was ever fully prosecuted .... his behavior IN LIGHT OF THE ACCUSATION was reprehensible and reflects very poorly on him and on his university and team .... I think there should be consequences for his actions and his speech.

If the university does not act they are actually doing this young man a great disservice (as a human being) .... allowing him to believe his actions are acceptable and that he as a star athlete is above reproach.

Life time ban (without a conviction) no .... sitting the season out .... no problem

[joeglow3]

45. So, you think there should be limitations placed on his speech over someone else (by the team)

because of an unconvicted accusation (again, I think he did it and was pissed all last year when he played). I take solace in this in light of him paying the price he should have paid last year. That said, I honestly think if anyone else said this, there would not be the uproar and if the team did not see fit to sit him last year, I fail to see how they can sit him this year over this (and you admit it is because of what he did last year).

[etherealtruth]

47. I definitely believe there are consequences for ones action (be they physical or verbal actions)

many sports teams have strict codes of conduct (for appearances) ... speech is part of that code.

I do believe had some other kid/man (that had not been accused of rape) yelled that out ... it would be a different situation (we are not talking about legal consequences where all is supposed to be equal) ... that person would likely be labeled by me as an immature jack-ass (and nothing more)

It is the cumulative nature of this guy's actions that are so troubling ... by not acting, the university and team are condoning his actions ... and doing this guy a great disservice. He is young and immature, this is the time for him to learn that there are consequences ... and that they may be swift and severe. Sadly, many student and professional athletes believe they are above reproach ... this will not serve him (or society well).

[CanonRay]

30. Tick, Tick, Tick

This kid is a time bomb.

[FiveGoodMen]

32. Seems like a context-free bit of nonsense

Take out the potentially offensive language and this translates to...

"Have sex with her in the standard fashion"

Not sure what the point is supposed to be.

[alp227]

34. When a guy accused of rape acts like this in public,

you've gotta wonder. Just like Rush Limbaugh smuggling sex pills to a country known for an epidemic of child prostitution then going on the radio proclaiming "no means yes."

[zappaman]

33. And more ineptness by the NFL here...

44. I'm guessing this guy doesn't have a career in diplomacy, brain surgery, or rocket science.

He should be glad he can play football because I'm not sure he's smart enough to chop lettuce.
