Jameis Winston: I didn't steal the crab legs

[run1stdownrun2nddown]

So Jameis was willing to take the fall and potentially jeopardize his multi-million dollar future, just to not rat out the lowly hourly employee who hooked him up?

Call me crazy, but the kid probably has more character than 90% of the people on here.

...but I did steal the butter.

Yes I'm sure sponsors will ignore his continued lack of good judgement.

Yeah call me silly but I think the whole rape charges will keep sponsors away. The crab legs, not so much.

You and NFL gms aren't in agreement on this. The people who have a opinions that actually matter have said this is of no concern to them. It's telling though you have people in this thread calling a young black kid who received some free food a thief.

 

Just about any employer looking at this young man's history over the last few years would be reluctant to hire him, as they should be.

 

He is fortunate that he has been blessed with such great talent on the grid iron because with his track record he would have a problems getting employment at a Chick-fil-A.

Any other employer doesn't matter. He's a football player. Receiving free food or shouting an internet meme on a college campus or getting falsely accused of rape isn't some damning character flaw.

The only reason any one cares is because he's a good football player that they make mountains out of mole hills on so many non stories it's crazy. For god sake this kid was accused midseason of an autograph scandal by ESPN which turned out to be completely false.

Everyone else is scared to say it but I will. Jameis Winston receives the type of media scrutiny he does is because he is an amazing black quarterback and there are still people in the media and in the league at large that don't like seeing it. These stories about him "stealing" crab legs turns out to be just a story of a guy having a connection and getting free food. Him having an autograph scandal which turns out to be bogus. Rape accusations... Turns out the police and the school investigate, no crime found.

Like I said, it says an awful lot about that this is your natural line of thinking and how you just eat up what the media feeds you. Judging someone off false news reports and doubling down on it when proven false. You need to do some serious self reflection.

I worked in a grocery store way back in the day. Employees are allowed to give free items to customers, just like bartenders can give out free drinks.

It was common to give free items if there was any kind of complaint or issue. Employees were given quite a bit of leeway with this and could basically give out free items whenever they felt like it. The policy was that it's better to take a small loss and keep the customer happy and coming back.

This never even happened, but if an employee went crazy giving out free stuff all the time it would have been an internal discipline type thing. Management would probably just tell them to slow down giving out so much stuff, it wouldn't be looked at as theft or a criminal issue.

You are completely full of poo if you think grocery store employees (other than mgmt, a deli employee giving a small slice if meat to ensure a customer likes the product, and the people walking around with samples) are allowed to give away free product. We are talking about someone giving away bunches if expensive crab legs...not a small sample to entice a customer to buy more product.

Just stop

Guess what, the NFL does not care and is going to suspend his ass for taking food and struggle snuggling girls.

Goodness, it's not farfetched.  I have a guy at dominos who always hooks it up.  Bartenders at various bars in LA.  I'm obviously not a star athlete either.  It happens.  Really not a big deal.

I worked at a grocery store and that was the policy. What are you basing your statements on because it sounds like you are you the one that's full of poo

Crab legs is one of those things that could easily be written off as spoiled. It's not like a case of beer.
