Jameis Winston

I totally remember hearing about the Jameis Winston case a couple of years ago.  It is really amazing how the media portrayed it and it was almost like he tried to play the victim card.  They talked about how it came out after he became a star, but really it came out after it happened but did not get the nation attention until he was a star.  The way ESPN and other media outlets portrayed it, was that the girl had sex with Jameis and was trying to get fame and so she made up the story that the sex was nonconsenual.  After hearing her side of the story it is pretty clear to me that this was definitely sexual assault and rape.  It is amazing how now only a few years after and nobody ever talks about it.  Most people do not even know about it, or remember it and that is absolutely upsetting. Jameis got into a lot of trouble at Florida State, but the coaching staff and the administration let him get away with it.  Now as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers it never gets brought up that he raped a girl, or he stole crab legs, or he stood on a table in the middle of the quad and yelled and obscene phrase.  Instead he is a great quarterback and a leader and I think that is awful.

  1. I found a lot of information on Jameis Winston during researching for my senior project. It's terrible that the Tallahassee police department tried to cover it all up too and tried to help Winston.
