So you don't think this is verbal abuse of women?


I don't think it is... He was repeating an internet meme as a joke.


I in no way condone the behavior, as you represent the university and shouldn't scream obscenities in the cafeteria while standing on a table, but he wasn't calling out a certain girl and saying this.

Exactly.

He is guilty of poor taste and ungentlemanly behavior.

I agree with you.

However, I think it will be used by the feminazis as an example of how all men verbally abuse women in general.

It was stupid for him to do and in poor taste but I think everyone has the constitutional right to express themselves even if what they say is stupid, in poor taste and offensive to someone.

Since it isn't a crime to be stupid and it isn't a crime to say something offensive, I don't think he should have been benched but because he is a FSU football player and represents the team, I understand why the the coach is upset about it.
