In other asshole sports figures news: FSU to sit Jameis Winston for half

Flordia State quarterback Jameis Winston has been suspended for the first half of Saturday's game against Clemson after he was seen shouting an obscene sexual phrase on campus Tuesday.

"It was not a good decision," coach Jimbo Fisher said of the incident during Wednesday's ACC teleconference. "You can't make certain statements that are derogatory or inflammatory to any person, race or gender. You have to understand that. You have to be very intelligent about what you say, (because) it matters."

"We're deciding. We're talking and things [are] going on right now," Fisher said of Winston's status before the punishment was announced. "It's not something that we want or are indicative of. And it's not a good decision. It was something that had to be addressed."

On Tuesday, Florida State students began flooding Twitter as several witnessed the reigning Heisman Trophy winner allegedly stand on a table in or in the immediate vicinity of the student union and yell obscenities, mimicking a popular Internet video. The phrase is of a sexual nature.

Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston stood on a table and yelled "fuck her right in the pussy" on campus today, according to a bunch of students who saw him. For the unaware, "Fuck her right in the pussy" was a fake video that turned into a meme, with a few people shouting it on live news broadcasts. It is now dead, because Jameis Winston climbed onto a table and yelled it. College jokes!

Not that we were saints, but we mocked him endlessly about that comment. That was 30+ years ago.

then they need to implement stricter punishments.
Winston would never play for me again after all his BS.
He can go and play for someone else if they choose to have him, but he would never play for me again.

But I guess wins and money rule the world.

All this has thus far only added up to a half game suspension.

You start your post with If...If they wanted to...they clearly don't.

And that's very sad.

They're as much to blame as Winston. They allow this to continue to happen and hardly to anything about it. Shame on all these coaches and administrations.

Selfish asshole. Thinks his shit doesn't stink.
Hope he gets what's coming to him, and in a way that's not fit to discuss in public.
