This is allegedly what he yelled
By my accounts, Winton is just plain dumb. Stealing crab legs, stealing soda from burger king, shooting out windows, raping women...

Winston is another Jamarcus Russell in the making ... a nicer guy I am sure but same level of stupidity.

It's painful to see such potential on a path to self destruction.
If I were the owner of a NFL franchise, I'd pass on Winston. Let him go somewhere else, keep a eye on him and when he hits bottom, which I feel he will, pick him up at a more matured stage for less.

I am impressed. It is not easy to yell a gesture.

Its a good thing he still has 2 more years left in college football then...he would get killed in the NFL, plus he isn't mature enough for the pro level yet. He hasn't murdered or beaten anyone up yet...  |

He will still get drafted really high and get paid. He doesn't need to succeed in the NFL to get a big contract.
If he is going to be this dumb then he should have left already after winning a Heisman and leading his team in a comeback win in the championship game. |

He can't leave for the NFL since he was only a freshman in college. Look up Maurice Clarett when he tried to challenge their NFL eligibility rule. |

If what Grammer has in his post is true, it's more than just a gesture.
Sitting him for the first half doesn't show much concern by the university.

Forgot about that. In any case, he should leave as soon as he can. |

The post-Ray Rice/Peterson NFL may mean the end to Winton's career. Who's going to want to take a chance on drafting a guy and paying him millions if he has the very high likelyhood of being kicked out of the league? He's a bad apple. |

Athletes today because of camera phones and social media are held to a standard where they have to be perfect 100 % of the time or be hermits, lets face it all through history athletes have never been known to be the standard for how to live your life
what this kid did was act like a kid but because of social media he gets punished for it |

Unfortunately, it comes with the territory.
You think an owner of a Billion Dollar business is going to pay him and let him slide when he screws up in public?

I don't buy this idea that because there is now social media, kids (or anyone) should feel like they shouldn't be punished for their behavior.
I certainly acted like a kid when I was young. I never once thought that being a kid meant I shouldn't suffer the consequences for my actions. The arrival of social media doesn't change that at all. |

yelling what he did was a young kid making a joke to make people laugh, Winston obviously has that class clown personality, yelling that phrase is hardly an offense that deserves a suspension
he was suspended because of public opinion not the actual offense |

Cool...do you have a son or daughter? Perhaps a nephew or niece?
Have he or she stand up during lunch time and scream the same phrase as Jameis. I'm sure "public opinion" won't factor in when he/she goes him w/a suspension.

^^^yes but think how foolish some of those heisman voters feel. They voted this kid as the most valuable college football player in the nation. He should be more representative of that title than this. Manziel was immature and dumb but he was never this dumb. Worst thing he was caught/reported for doing was having a fake id.
Probably why freshman hadn't been awarded the heisman trophy before.
edit: my comment was meant for pmacla

Nope. He's not a victim of anything except maybe his own stupidity. This type of behavior was punished long before social media brought public attention. |

Put it this way ... Winston's stupidity is just hurting his draft stock
Mariot, Hundley, and Cook will be more than happy to see him keep up his bonehead antics.
