Jameis Winston turnaround

Paid endorsement for crab legs

He grew up. Simple as that IMO.

He gets a pass because he is a football player.

He still gets a pass because he is a football player. shite he is like 3 years removed from that rape charge.

Its not like anything he did at FSU kept him from being a good football player.

Cam Newton got kicked off florida's team and got paid to play college. Why is he a good NFL QB? because he is talented. Which is why people overlooked that shite.

---

This dude was nothing but trouble at Florida State. Had many run ins with the law.

Not an FSU fan but this is crazy hyperbole.

He had one real criminal serious accusation. And it might have been real, who knows?

But the rest was TMZ fluff.

Winston is seen by several students jumping up on a table on campus and screaming a sexually charged expletive-laced phrase that was made popular on the internet. Big crime. Is that illegal now?

Cops show up and the two say. were shooting at squirrels with a pellet gun, and they are released without charges being filed. Big crime, BB gun shooting. Arrest Ralphie from "A Christmas Story."

Winston is accused of entering a Burger King in Tallahassee and helping himself to soda from the fountain machine without paying for it. A restaurant employee later tells police she gave Winston a cup of water but that he poured the water out and helped himself to several cups of soda despite her objections. No charges are filed. Big crime, free Root Beer.

Winston is accused of stealing $32.72 worth of crab legs from a Tallahassee supermarket. He is given a civil citation that allows him to perform community service and is suspended from the FSU baseball team until he completes that work. Winston tells police he “forgot” to pay for the crab legs and publicly apologizes.

The only thing really important and substantial was the rape allegation, which is bad enough...but he wouldn't have played if he "was nothing but trouble.". All of the other stuff weren't even real legal issues.

None even amounted to misdemeanor charges.

Average college kid has done worse with fraternity pranks.

His one potential real crime we all know about. And only he and his accuser know the truth.

But don't lump other college fluff into that real potential heinous crime.

He might have done something really bad...but it wasn't shooting a BB gun or sneaking a soda. Many run-ins with the law makes you sound like he was knocking over liquor stores and robbing banks. Which makes you so shocked that a guy who sneaked a free soda can totally turn his life around.
