We all know about Jameis Winston, the 2013 Heisman trophy winner, and Florida State University Quarterback, and now accused of sexually assaulting a coed on the FSU Campus. It's so sad that a situation such as this one can come up on someone with a promising future, and I am talking about both Jameis and the young lady. The situation is just now surfacing again because the young lady did not know the name of her accuser at the time of the incident until one day she walked into the class room, noticed his face, and then reported who he was.
As a sports fan, it just makes you wonder what do these students be thinking? Now we all have been there and done that in our younger years on the college campus having our version of fun, but it doesn't excuse the mistakes that are made when we are not thinking and end up suffering the consequences later on in life. The situation has now seemed to turn the tables on the victim. It is starting to look like she was just out to ruin his reputation and career.
It is so sad because it seems like the REAL truth will never come out from where it is hard to determine whether it was consensual or not. Here Jameis is having to have this follow him for the rest of his life and throughout his career and the victim is going to be looked at as a liar and schemer for a period of time in her life until it all dies down.
I hope that high school, middle school and little league coaches around the world will take the time out and talk to their players about situations such as this one before they get to college. I'm not trying to say that the talk will save them from making future mistakes, but at least there will be a possibility that they will think twice about it. My heart just goes out to all victims and accusers. It makes you think back to the Brian Banks story.
Well that is all that I have to blog about for now, but until next time...STAY TUNED!
