Congratulations to Florida State University on their win over Clemson and on their handling of the latest
Jameis Winston incident.
The Seminoles won despite Winston being suspended for the Clemson game.
Heck! The Tigers' kicker turned out to be FSU's MVP,
(the Duck Dynasty crew gave a standing ovation to that first field goal attempt. It did everything but quack!) but the important issues is that Florida State finally figured out that the only way to get any player's attention, and make them realize the significance of their actions, is to take away precious playing time.
Based on Winston's repeated lapses of judgment, the original half-game suspension was not enough. Hopefully, the full game suspension sent the message to all the FSU players that bad decisions carry serious consequences.
If coaches and administrators will spread the message that bad behavior, grade fixing, "looking the other way", and overall athlete entitlement will not be tolerated throughout the collegiate ranks and high school sports, we might not have to deal with as many major issues at the professional level as well.
It has STOP and it has to START somewhere!
