We don’t cover the college football beat around here, but we have covered Jameis Winston due to the fact that he’s a pretty darn decent baseball player too. Or at least was: Florida State suspended him from the baseball team yesterday after he was cited for shoplifting some crablegs from a grocery store. His coach said this:
“As a result of his citation last night, we are suspending Jameis Winston from the baseball team. I am confident he will complete his community service obligation and the situation will be resolved soon.”
His football coach praised the decision. And was likely thankful that he didn’t have to discipline Winston himself. Because, as we have learned lately, no one in Florida seems all that keen on examining Winston’s behavior if they can avoid doing so.
