Message: [QUOTE="llandz, post: 1133912, member: 1679"] OK. I don't know exactly what he said. But from what I am getting on this board, it involved inappropriate words including slang terms for the female anatomy. possibly a well known line from a movie? He is a college football player for the #1 ranked team in the country. As someone pointed out, a student athlete. He has a higher standard of conduct than the average goofy 20 something year old. But what makes this even more alarming to me is that this took place during the worst week for the NFL and the questionable conduct and culture of the NFL football players. Winston is bound for the NFL. This is the behaviors that are treated with a slap on the wrist that leads to what the NFL is now trying to curb. Winston has gotten away over and over again with these behaviors. College is where you get to learn what is appropriate and what is not. And even if this might be tolerated at the average frat party, it is not in the college run cafeteria by your most high profile student athlete standing on a table and yelling out these words. Did he not stop to think about Ray Rice, or Adrian Peterson and the current public opinion of the football player in this country? It is bad enough that he did this, but that he did it in the week of the biggest black eye for football players makes me think that he feels he is so above the average person that he can do anything he wants. And to suspend a player of this magnitude for half a game is not even a slap on the wrist. Because he will come into the game in the 2nd half and more than make up for his 1st half absence. This suspension means absolutely nothing at all. It is a total joke. And this folks, is where the problems stem from. Get away with it now, let some of us laugh at it, and it will only get worse as the years go by. And is this helping Winston out at all...NO. [/QUOTE]
