Jameis Winston: "An Embarrassment"

[Car123]

Winston thrived in a system that tolerates repeated instances of poor behavior as long as an individual has the talent to win football games on Friday and Saturday.

It says more about our society's misplaced priorities than it does JW.

So he should be kicked out because of an accusation?

[CelibatePimp]

Lol at the Winston haters. His "maturity" issues are way overblown. Not every star athlete is going to be your quiet choir boy type. Life is short, let him enjoy it how he pleases as long as he's hurting no one.

So he should be kicked out because of an accusation?

 

FSU treated Winston as an entitled athlete, which he was, so did the local community.

 

Who is to blame a young man for taking full advantage of that entitlement as big man on campus?

 

Winston is a symptom of a larger problem in high school, college and pro athletics.

 

The problem is the "adults" charged with overseeing his education and extracurricular activities.

 

These adults are too quick to look the other way in pursuit of winning a game.

I was a FSU fan growing up and find this to be a tad hypocritical

[UpstatePanther]

He acted like a college student in college. Shocker.

so now it's normal for college students to be thieves and womanizers?

I didn't get that memo...

[O-Ther]

Anything from his past is fair game since he's now a division rival. It's that simple. His achievements need to be mocked and minimized and his mistakes magnified and blown way out of proportion because of the team uniform he wears now.

[Silent Majority]

An embarrassment, yet FSU continued to cash those fuging checks tho'. Systemic hypocrisy thy name is America.

[J.Cage]

Yeah, who wasn't arrested for theft and investigated for rape during college? Leave that poor child alone!

 

I'm sorry. I didnt know being arrested for anything was supposed to follow you for the rest of your life. Is it time to bring up the laptops again?

Um. What college did you go to? 

[L-TownCat]

Bowden should have kept quiet. He's got more skeletons in his closet than the late Joe Pa. You don't dominate the NCAA like that without greasing some wheels if you catch my drift...

[Allaine]

Dag, they gonna HATE on that boy! I can't wait to watch the competition between him and Cam. I'll root for him when he's not playing us.

Regardless of how common his alleged behavior is on college campuses "lots of guys do it" is not a defense for rape allegations and it is disturbing you highlight that as one

1.) It was what, 2 years ago? Hardly "the rest of your life."

2.) lying to police in a rape investigation isn't just whacky kids' stuff and is way >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>being in possession of a stolen laptop.

[caatfan]

He acted like a criminal in college. Shocker.

FTFY

 

I managed to get through college completely unnoticed by cops, campus or otherwise.
