misdemeanor battery..


he should get to keep his job on the team after a short offseason suspension.





No telling, location, location, location, probably played a part in it. See how it plays out in court.

Sorry! I was taught never to lay a hand on a lady. There was no need for him to hit her like that. I hope he starts learning "would you like fries with that?".

Assault.

Self defense to pro equal rights folks.

Assault to a southern gentleman.

Why was a 19 year old in a bar in the first place?

Where does FSU do its recruiting? The county jail?

They ought to just send him straight to the NFL where he will fit right in with the rest of the trash. College football used to have much more class but its quickly going the way of the Pros.

Assault to any real man out there.

If a girl was actually landing some solid ones, I would've understood a shove to get her away but by no means was that called for. Just glad he ended his career early.

OU player Joe Mixon knocked a girl out last year, almost same deal, caught on camera but this girl got a fractured orbital out of the deal. Even plead no contest (guilty) to the crime and guess whos starting in a couple of months. FSU probably wishes they could of gotten ahead of this like they did for Jameis and OU did for Mixon.

The reason this newest incident happened is because the message was loud and clear. You are the star and we will defend you no matter how you behave. Glad to see they didnt.

Walk away keep your scholarship, play football. Punch her, get arrested, get another scholarship, play football somewhere else.

Difficult decisions...

I know of quite a few bars that are 18+ ... Even have college night.

Assault

The people that have claimed it was self defense are insane. Heck even if it had been a guy acting the same way the girl was, I still wouldn't think that would be enough to warrant self defense!
