Jameis Winston suspended for half vs. Clemson over obscenity incident

Florida State announced Wednesday that starting quarterback Jameis Winston has been suspended for the first half of the No. 1 Seminoles' game vs. Clemson on Saturday for yelling an "offensive and vulgar" phrase in the student union on FSU's campus.
Deadspin collected a number of tweets from Florida State students who said they saw Winston standing on a table Tuesday "screaming" the phrase (one made popular by a series of recent viral hoax videos), which uses graphic sexual language. (Both links use the phrase and other R-rated language.)

"As the university's most visible ambassadors, student-athletes at Florida State are expected to uphold at all times high standards of integrity and behavior that reflect well upon themselves, their families, coaches, teammates, the Department of Athletics and Florida State University. Student-athletes are expected to act in a way that reflects dignity and respect for others," Florida State interim president Dr. Garnett Stokes and athletic director Stan Wilcox said in a joint statement.

"As a result of his comments yesterday, which were offensive and vulgar, Jameis Winston will undergo internal discipline and will be withheld from competition for the first half of the Clemson game.

"The University and athletics department will have no further comment on the matter."

On a teleconference Wednesday, Jimbo Fisher said his Heisman-winning quarterback's actions were "not a good decision," per Noles247.

"We have to keep learning, keep educating, and continue to make better decisions," Fisher added. "It is something that has to be addressed ... You can't make certain statements that are derogatory, inflammatory."

Fisher indicated he had spoken with Winston about the incident, saying "everything has been addressed and we are getting ready for the game."

Winston's off-the-field actions have been the target of increased scrutiny since the emergence of a December 2012 rape allegation against the redshirt sophomore late last year, one that has led to a current code of conduct investigation by the school. In April, Winston received a legal citation for shoplifting crab legs from a Tallahassee grocry store.

There is zero chance this dude is drafted in the first round. Not after Rice and AP. Character is going to be put at a serious ****ing premium. Watch as the Raiders start hitting on all their draft picks, because other teams will let talent slide so they don't end up with a major PR fiasco.

Sounds like they are cracking down on him now. But there wasn't enough evidence on the rape allegation. Per my daughter, there's generally not enough investigations on on many other rape allegations at FSU, though as I recall the Winston rape allegation was re-opened.

He cheats on his exams as I posted earlier. He's in a tough major which, if I recall correctly, is engineering.

Well, he's something along those lines.

Good thing he doesn't have Johnny Manziel disease.

Was it because they had run out of crab legs?

In any case, this idiot seems to have quite the penchant for acting a fool in public.

Not taking any sides but he did get suspended from the baseball team for shoplifting.

He also wasn't allowed to steal 2nd for 3 games after he was reinstated.

It's good to know that our Universities tolerate free speech in the Student Union.

But, but, but Dan Marino had a cocaine problem and turned out great in the NFL. This guy should not be considered a 1st round QB. He has way too many off the field issues.
