I hate SEC with a passion, but I think the blogger is reaching on this one.

"Nothing Winston has done up to this point ([I]sexual promiscuity, squirrel hunting with BB guns, sneaking soda from a fountain with buddies, taking crab legs from a grocery store “hookup”, or yelling out an obscene phrase from a popular internet meme[/I]) could be considered “criminal mischief” for the average 18-19 year old kid."

ESPN did not force Winston to do any of these things.  Further, following the Ray Rice assault, the outrage machine has been in full force.  This was partially fueled by ESPN (which has a big stake in the success of the NFL) and its personalities trying to one up each other as to who was the most offended and angry.  Following that and the discussion in the media about how football players treat woman (albeit NFL players), Winston, who has been accused of rape in the past, yells out, ":eek:ck her in her p:eek:ssy."  Winston as one of the most, if not most, famous college player has now played right into the discussion.

The blogger also seems to ignore that ESPN is getting into bed with the ACC as well, so under his/her logic, should be protecting Winston, not harming him.
