re: No charges filed against Jameis Winston

Didn't really have an opinion about Bama before this, but now I hope they never win another game.

Now come on man. I've been seeing you FSU folks IN LOCKSTEP target Alabama fans here and IN LOCKSTEP defend JW at every turn. You can look back over this thread and see that each fan base posting here has had an array of opinion except for FSU fans. As an Alabama fan, I have tried to have an even keel approach to the matter. There has been a split of opinion as well of other Bama posters. Now show me an FSU poster who regularly posts in this thread who has given the "other side" a fair shake?

All I'm pointing out is that claiming it's the Bama fans who as a whole are biased on here is just not being intellectually honest and making such claims is pretty much backing my contention up.

You're count is off by one or two...I think you should recount!

Obviously not every Bama fan has attacked Winston in this thread, but the majority have

Not sure about that one. Maybe a majority coming after the FSU fans who seem to want to defend JW simply because of fan allegiance which leads me to...

And is there a reason why FSU fans shouldn't be fully in support of Winston right now? If so, I'd like to know why.

---

I'm of the opinion that there is a LOT out there that we don't know and the prudent thing for an FSU fan, Alabama fan, I Don't Care Who U fan is to wait until the dust settles. To jump on either side right now is asking to be on the wrong side of a very delicate situation.

I have no problem supporting Winston based on the sole fact that his name has been drug through the mud.

And that is fair to an extent but we have a potential rape victim here and even though JW's name has been tarnished a bit, most normal level headed people know this has a process to go through and nobody can say at this juncture whether or not he is innocent or guilty. If he is innocent, he will have an opportunity to clear his name but we simply can't be dismissive of the potential crime involved either and blindly defend someone who may be a criminal. In turn, it's not right to assume guilt either so I am just trying to absorb information and get some established facts before I would defend either party in this case since it's so fluid and it would be the same if JW was wearing crimson and white!

If he is charged, he deserves to be suspended as that is FSU policy. If he is guilty of rape, he deserves to sit in prison just like any other rapist.

ETA: Anyone who follows this thread knows where I stand on this. I'm not about to tie my name to ANY human being that I don't personally know. Would it be out of character? Sure, but I don't know JW on a personal level. We don't know what any of these guys do behind closed doors. I've said this from day one.

Right, I'm addressing the guy who said he's supporting him solely because his name has been drug "through the mud."

Not posting it.

Looks like nothing but circumstantial evidence. Jameis STILL might have raped her.

When you see these wanna be Columbo's come up with tweets, etc.....
there is some stuff out there.....that just doesnt add up. (Again he still might have done it.)

Just leaving it at that.

I just wish Meggs would just come up with a decision. (but I understand him taking his time)

You're right (no sarcasm) DNA confirmation, rape report, still no arrest.

I know what you're saying. I felt the same way, I don't want to paint a certain picture of what could be a victim to rape but if/when these things get out to the media there could be a change in public opinion. In my opinion, Winston and his lawyer have evidence we don't know about yet. So what is it that Meggs is waiting on?

Regardless of if you are a FSU fan it would be wise to expand your knowledge of this beyond what ESPN and mainstream media is reporting.

I agree 100%... As I said earlier, if he is charged he deserves to be suspended as that is FSU policy. If he is guilty of rape, he deserves to sit in prison just like any other rapist.

This could go either way right now but it's definitely wise to do a little research yourself on things. There has been a lot ESPN and other major networks haven't covered that have since been confirmed.

Absolutely, she deserves full justice and peace of mind if true.
