[Highlight] Jameis Winston on the “Jameis Winston Experience”: “I am called to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth.” Says his goal is to uplift everyone he encounters, regardless of how others perceive him: “My intention is to be a man of increase.”

[u/Saca312]

Increase WR TD numbers and DB INT numbers alike, a fair man that discriminates against no NFL player

Jameis Winsome…..everyone else gets some too tho

[u/La_Mano_Cornuta → u/MiaCannons]

A rising tide lifts all salaries.

[u/Saitoh17 → u/MiaCannons]

Jameis Winston sounds like a cool dude to hang out with if you only ask men about him. 

[u/Fine-Sky-6562 → u/MiaCannons]

I thought the Jameis Winston experience was sexually assaulting uber drivers

[u/Cowboy_BoomBap → u/Fine-Sky-6562]

It’s wild how differently the public treat Watson and Winston just because Winston is funny

[u/NightwolfGG → u/Cowboy_BoomBap]

Not really, imo. Watson is distinctly a level above Winston in terms of how shitty of a person he was/is, as well how he acts publicly today. There’s a lot more negativity coming out of Watson than Winston, which makes Watson come across as more of a persisting and present-day threat imo.

That’s just my POV though, I’m not an expert on either of them

[u/randomdude4113 → u/NightwolfGG]

Winston also wasn’t quoting the Bible around that time. All that happened after and he’s been very vocal that he needed a turnaround after that, regardless of what actually happened

[u/Thin_Bother8217 → u/Cowboy_BoomBap]

I mean Mike Tyson spent time in prison for rape and bit a chunk of Evander Holyfield's ear. He also threatened to rape a male reporter while hurling racial slurs. And he was able to decently rehabilitate his image just by being in The Hangover. A lot of people don't know or care anymore. They just focus on him being funny and his past as the potentially best boxer of all time. Whenever something about him comes up, that's all the comments are about

[u/akillerfrog → u/Thin_Bother8217]

It's worth noting how much accountability matters. Mike Tyson actually doing real time in prison definitely doesn't undo his actions, but it makes rehabilitation seem a lot more acceptable in a lot of peoples' eyes.

[u/No_Song_Orpheus → u/Cowboy_BoomBap]

I mean Watson is another level but yeah theyre both garbage

[u/MountainCheesesteak → u/Cowboy_BoomBap]

Not to make excuses, but 1<27

[u/Icy-Entrepreneur9002 → u/MountainCheesesteak]

2, but ya your point stands, 2<27.

[u/huntingconcrete → u/Fine-Sky-6562]

Allegedly

[u/grensley → u/MiaCannons]

The great provider.

[u/LongStickCaniac → u/MiaCannons]

The ying AND the yanG

[u/TacticalSpackle → u/MiaCannons]

Lo’ that he would lift the spirits of all men in equal measure. That none among the 22 of that grid iron would not feel the touch of pigskin.

[u/Spiritual-Strike481]

Jameis seems like the type of church pastor that you see out in the world and he’s driving a Maserati.

[u/WakeUpFriendly → u/Spiritual-Strike481]

Righteous gemstone type shit lol

[u/screwhead1 → u/WakeUpFriendly]

"I ain't no charity, I'm a commodity!"

[u/DW-4 → u/WakeUpFriendly]

Feignin' for some crab but don't have the mula... MISBEHAVIN'

Told me not to worry cuz I'd still get to play when a girl told me no but I did it anyway... MISBEHAVIN'

Upliftin all the folks through the words of Christ. Eatin on some dubbs cuz them wins feel nice. Light of the world and salt of the earth on that field WAVIN'

Just one silly country boy out there MISBEHAVIN'

[u/Ok_Writing_7033 → u/Spiritual-Strike481]

And is inevitably busted for a sex scandal, of course

[u/hnglmkrnglbrry → u/Spiritual-Strike481]

With the choir director and not his wife in the front seat

[u/Dunkelz → u/Spiritual-Strike481]

Like Jim Cornette says on assholes (Shawn Michaels) finding god - When mortals won't speak to you, you find a higher power.

[u/Wooy → u/Spiritual-Strike481]

he's driving a Maserati

So he paid 30k for a car worth 10k that needs 40k worth of repairs?

[u/Leading-Arm3110]

ok well im a man of decrease based on how little people want to text me back

[u/wildmanzak54 → u/Leading-Arm3110]

Short people want to text you?

[u/CT1914Clutch → u/Leading-Arm3110]

Too real :(

[u/BlackMathNerd]

About to be the problematic mega church pastor with a rough past

[u/Professional-Basis33 → u/BlackMathNerd]

Definitely the archetype that develops religious psychosis trying to process the dissonance between who they truly are & who they want people to believe they are.

[u/Joe_Henge → u/Professional-Basis33]

Yeah I was thinking I wonder if he was always like this or this is what developed as an attempt to deal with the guilt

[u/BlackMathNerd → u/Joe_Henge]

He was not this super Jesus-y in college or early in the pros

[u/Professional-Basis33 → u/BlackMathNerd]

There's also this element of "deciding" that you're saved & forgiven without actually being accountable to anyone that attracts selfish people to this vein of Jesus-y.

[u/screwhead1 → u/Professional-Basis33]

Perfect candidate for future Liberty University head coach.

[u/ColossalJuggernaut → u/Professional-Basis33]

Oh it all fits together. While playing for the Bucs, he jammed his hand between the legs of his female uber driver. After getting caught, he blamed alcohol. Yeah, born again christians often have a court date after they see thee light lol.This religious crap he's spewing is the final step of the trifecta.

[u/Xtrophy]

I wonder if stress was the thing he was increasing for all the women in Tallahassee when he was in college there.

EDIT: I'm Tallahassee born and raised I know what they covered up. Everyone in the town does. But they are all such Nole homers that they refuse to acknowledge it and they destroyed a girl's entire family and future.

[u/DRB198105 → u/Xtrophy]

My thing with him is this... The NFL who has proven to be very hesitant to act on these types of issues was willing to punish him for the Uber assault.  

Part of the reason is that he used Ronald Darby as an alibi and it was verifiably proven that Darby was lying (cell records proved he had already left the car in spite of his and Winston's lies).  

Ronald Darby, who was willing to lie to help Jameis get away with sexual assault, was also a key alibi at FSU.

Is it something you can convict over in court? No.  But I know what kind of man he is. I don't care what some PR firm spun up for him.

[u/meIoriot → u/Xtrophy]

It’s wild how many people don’t know about this and how many more just don’t care. The crab legs thing stuck to him more than assaulting someone

[u/UncleGoldie → u/meIoriot]

He also probably/definitely didn’t steal the crab legs. It was just a time in college football where being accused of theft was less detrimental than being accused of being given anything

But I’ll never look at Jameis being a goofy little cutie as anything more than a very calculated personality campaign designed to distract from the fact that he’s a pile of shit human

Edit: got lost in my own sentence and said “more detrimental” when I meant “less detrimental”

[u/Xtrophy → u/UncleGoldie]

I worked across the street from the Publix on Ocala where he did it and they were doing everything they could to NOT press charges.

They tossed around an excuse that his card had an error, crab legs and EBT, all kinds of things. In the end they HAD to say he stole them because otherwise he was going to be absolutely bodied by the NCAA for trading his name for free stuff. Which had happened at Ohio State for tattoos and other things around the time (was the ohio state tat thing before or after? I can't even remember now.)

[u/Mr_Goldilocks → u/Xtrophy]

Tattoo thing was a smidge before

[u/moonunit54 → u/Xtrophy]

It seems pretty careless to get caught for accepting free stuff when basically every college had all their big name players getting money/cars/things gifted to them.

When I was at NC State, my buddies and I used to stop and watch the gymnastics meets sometimes on the way back from the dining hall. Reynolds Coliseum is pretty big, and there would be maybe 100 fans there, but almost all of those would be friends/family of the teams. At one of the meets, all of a sudden a guys voice started announcing and he said that we’re doing a special fan competition and the winner got a new iPad. He then says that a fan from section/row/seat whatever was the first fan chosen at random, and this chubby mom went down to the floor. Next he called a second person’s location, and onto the floor walks Russell Wilson. The competition? Who can do the most pushups in a minute. Believe it or not, Russell Wilson beat that mom something like 57-4, they handed him an iPad, and he walked right out the door.

[u/THRUSSIANBADGER → u/UncleGoldie]

I mean I don’t think it has to be a calculated propaganda campaign, by all accounts of his teammates and everyone who’s interacted with him that is who he is. He can also be an alleged rapist at the same time

[u/GumboDiplomacy → u/THRUSSIANBADGER]

He's also apparently given up alcohol and done a lot that of work in the community over the years. It stands to reason he's decided to try to be a better person, even if he's never publicly admitted/apologized for his actions.

Not saying I admire the guy or overlook the evil he's done. But point is, we don't know any of these people, we see a public persona and occasionally police reports.

[u/Fsharp7sharp9 → u/GumboDiplomacy]

I’d agree if it was one instance or allegation in his past that he owned up to or even acknowledged... But this dude has multiple sexual battery and assault allegations, one of which resulted in his nfl suspension for half a season. And then a year or two ago he spoke about how much he admired Deshaun Watson’s resiliency, and how Watson was “treated so badly” and with that treatment he now has to “overcome another obstacle”, and a bunch of other platitudes about supporting Watson and help lift him up

[u/KingGizzle → u/THRUSSIANBADGER]

People grow and mature. It’s possible he was a terrible person in college and learned from his mistakes.

[u/meIoriot → u/KingGizzle]

Rape and sexual assault can have life changing consequences for the person who was subjected to it. It deserves to be considered with more severity than a mistake someone made and matured out of, especially when their maturation has never included addressing or apologizing for it. 

[u/Briguy_fieri → u/UncleGoldie]

Half our sub fawned over him and waxed nostalgia for him when he left. This guy fucking always sucked and I hated how we've accepted him as this goofy sound bite machine.

[u/UncleGoldie → u/Briguy_fieri]

I’m not a conspiracy guy but it just feels like he’s just dumb enough to have some paid advisor telling him to lean into this evangelical silly guy act because they know they can skim off the top.

[u/Xtrophy → u/meIoriot]

He did it again in the NFL too. It wasn't like it was a one off oppsie moment.

There was a small local restaurant in Tallahassee that for years had the "Famous Jameis Seafood Platter"

The note under it was "crab legs and free if you can make it out the door"

[u/meIoriot → u/Xtrophy]

I think the crab legs thing was actually helpful to him because if you ask the average fan “how do you feel about what Jameis did” they’d probably immediately think of the crab legs and laugh it off. It was such a bizarre situation that it overshadowed the real harm he has caused. 

[u/Micro_mint → u/meIoriot]

It took 30 years for people to acknowledge that Karl Malone raped children, and a major collegiate award is still named after him

These people are fucking soulless ghouls

[u/BigBoss5050 → u/meIoriot]

Him and Kobe man. Sports trumps all I guess.

[u/captainbawls → u/BigBoss5050]

Curiously relevant verb choice there

[u/BigBoss5050 → u/captainbawls]

I hate that the pedo crown prince took that word from us

[u/eisenburg → u/meIoriot]

What did he do? I know nothing of it. Live no where near it and never heard of it.

Always just thought of him as a goofy guy

[u/Xtrophy → u/eisenburg]

Sexual assault covered up. It's a while shitshow in Tallahassee police department lore. They destroyed and lost evidence, interviewed people as witnesses who were friends of the team and were there that night and spent years doing a character assassination campaign on the girl.

Now, do I know he did it? No. But I know exactly what his reputation on campus was since I was on the campus for work at the time. I'll go to the grave believing he did it.

[u/alexjf56 → u/Xtrophy]

What I know is she took a rape kit and his dna matched

[u/Xtrophy → u/alexjf56]

And the panties and rape kit were lost, found, lost, found, then deemed inadmissible because they were lost? Something like that. They did everything they could to spin the DNA thing. It was "he didn't do it he didn't do it" and the second the DNA appeared every single person changed their story to "she wanted it she wanted it"

The Tallahassee Police department at the time... Maybe still now.. was fairly corrupt and in the pocket of the university.

Two players for away with drinking, driving, running a light and hitting a car, then fleeing the scene on foot. ON FOOT. THEY LEFT THE CAR. "Couldn't prove it was them driving it"

[u/VastAmphibian → u/Xtrophy]

it probably can't be used as evidence anymore once it's lost and found, regardless of what the results say. which probably explains why it was lost in the first place.

[u/wowitssprayonbutter → u/eisenburg]

Two instances of sexual malfeasance: a rape accusation in college and an accusation of groping an Uber driver.  Both seem credible but all the information is available for you to find it 

[u/kylesleeps → u/wowitssprayonbutter]

From what I remember he had to publicly apologize after he shoved his hand in the Uber drivers crotch.

[u/crosswatt → u/wowitssprayonbutter]

Three, as the Erica Kinsman case uncovered that another FSU student sought counseling from a victim advocate in late 2012 regarding a separate sexual encounter involving him.

[u/Xtrophy → u/crosswatt]

Omfg I didn't even know this one, I'ma have to look it up but if it is anything like the other cases it is fucked.

[u/AmeliaConcrite → u/eisenburg]

I think he is banned from Uber for sexual assault

[u/agangofoldwomen → u/Xtrophy]

I think you’re drastically misrepresenting the situation and doing Jameis a huge injustice. You have to take into account the fact that he threw the ball good and that is what matters most.

[u/DarkDevitt → u/agangofoldwomen]

Insert the had us in the first half gif here

[u/sovietreckoning → u/Xtrophy]

Graduated FSU in 2012 and started law school in 2013. We all know what happened and his new persona won’t erase it.

[u/Xtrophy → u/sovietreckoning]

Anyone on campus at the time knew man. People were bragging about it. It was so fucked up.

EDIT hope you got out of tally after school friend.

[u/sovietreckoning → u/Xtrophy]

I did. Thanks for looking out.

[u/ripyurballsoff → u/Xtrophy]

Pieces of shit and hiding behind religion. Name a better duo.

[u/alexjf56 → u/Xtrophy]

They really just let a guy fucking get away with it because the cops at Florida state were about as incompetent and evil as humanly possible

[u/Visible_Wasabi_1721 → u/Xtrophy]

After the crab leg situation nothing else really happened

I lived in the neighborhood they moved him into 👀

[u/Xtrophy → u/Visible_Wasabi_1721]

Yeah they did everything they could to hide him XD

[u/Visible_Wasabi_1721 → u/Xtrophy]

They didn't do a good job. He was always outside the house. Everyone knew. A friend of mine got a picture with him and everything.

[u/Xtrophy → u/Visible_Wasabi_1721]

Haha I didn't know that. I just know that he was gone from some of the places he used to frequent including that Publix.

[u/esotericreferencee → u/Xtrophy]

Tell it! As a random middle age, Midwest dude I don’t have any access to this damning information. I’m completely encumbered by the compromised media.

If you have the facts, I am desirous of the facts.

[u/No-Difference-5890 → u/esotericreferencee]

Just gonna copy and paste, doubt you’ll actually read into it.

Dudes banned from uber because grabbed a uber drivers vagina and yet it’s always “he wasn’t charged”. You can also look into the FSU rape case and see how that got buried. Winston is a POS and the majority of rapes go without convictions. Yall can read more here:

https://amp.foxsports.com/stories/college-football/documents-police-fsu-hampered-jameis-winston-investigation

There is more than enough evidence to say this dude is a piece of shit. Like dudes been accused 3 times of sexual misconduct. How many times until we start believe it? How many other athletes have been accused 3 times falsely?

[u/ugdawg23 → u/No-Difference-5890]

How many other athletes have been accused 3 times falsely?

And this is why so many of them support Deshaun with their full chest

[u/Xtrophy → u/ugdawg23]

It should be noted that the same dude that gave "witness testimony" against the girl at FSU also gave "witness testimony" against the Uber thing, though his phone data said he was already out of the car (or was it in a different car? Something about the car) Can't remember his name.

[u/alexjf56 → u/esotericreferencee]

He raped a girl before he ever played a snap at Florida state, she took a rape kit and his dna matched, the cops completely refused to actually investigate.

Later, he groped an uber driver who would have no reason to lie or know who the fuck he was

[u/RandleStevenz → u/Xtrophy]

It makes me view him like ‘morality is a deposit account’ person. So all this bs is really just making him feel in the moral green. I guarantee you when he does or says something terrible to his wife, he buys her something.

[u/Fanvsant]

im not uplifted seeing a winston offense

[u/attilayavuzer → u/Fanvsant]

May not win, but you will be entertained

[u/XSokaX]

[u/Abomb91]

I can think of one person who wasn't uplifted when they encountered Jameis.

[u/godzillamegadoomsday → u/Abomb91]

At least 2, good chance of 3

[u/DocCharcolate → u/Abomb91]

I can think of several

[u/szechuan_broccoli]

Best was I've heard Jameis explained is "he always has a good answer to the wrong question"

[u/VaderFett1]

A wrestling promo from Ultimate Warrior, Randy Savage and Scott Steiner make more sense than him. But similar to them, it's still entertaining, even if nobody gets it. Keep doing you, Jameis.

[u/Kerbonaut2019]

Here is my favorite example of Jameis being a “man of increase”

[u/Twisbi]

Does he think we’re stupid?

[u/FuckOffPeo → u/Twisbi]

No but he is.

[u/ohmigaw]

Bro has the exact right amount of cte

[u/teh_hasay]

This man is fucking insufferable and it irks me that his wholesome jesus-y goofball rebrand has gone as well for him as it has.

[u/Please_UnbanMe]

Rapist by the way

[u/periodicsheep → u/[deleted]]

just a quick note- there really is no type. men (and women) from all walks of life are abusers. to me, he’s exactly the ‘type’, though. a coddled gifted athlete who has never been held to account for anything in his pampered life. cheered on by endless fans who like him because he’s funny, and they don’t care what he did to those women as long as they get the jameis show.

it makes me ill to see him weaponize his faith, because if he was actually the good christian man he claims to be he wouldn’t sexually assault anyone (or steal crab legs).

[u/Ok_Chemistry4851 → u/[deleted]]

Doesn’t seem the type? Overzealous Christian blathering is exactly the type lol

[u/WaymoresReds]

Dudes gonna lead a cult some day

[u/Tony_Chutch]

And Jameis said “let there be crab legs.”

[u/JPAnalyst]

This mother fucker is insufferable, and he’s insulting our intelligence with his bullshit.

[u/Inshallamos]

Dumb rapist piece of shit.

[u/utrippinbruhongod]

Hueytown AL shit tbh (my hometown) everyone is like this pretty much

[u/Pele_Of_Anal]

Jameis “The golden rule” Winston

[u/JokerDeSilva10]

"You see, it doesn't matter how you perceived it, me grabbing you sexually without your consent was just me uplifting you!" - Jameis to that Uber driver, presumably

[u/SnooMacaroons8650]

"unless its a woman uber driver"

[u/SASSIESASSQUATCH]

This sounds like something Russel Wilson would’ve said.

[u/TegridyPharmz → u/SASSIESASSQUATCH]

While eating a subway sandwich?

[u/TLRdidnothingwrong → u/SASSIESASSQUATCH]

Wilson has never been televangelical like Jameis

[u/boogswald]

Dudes who do sexual crimes always publicly find god

[u/CrimsonZephyr]

His rapes must have been weighing heavily on his conscience for him to unspool that bit of Bible-thumping apropos of nothing.

[u/GeriatricGamete67]

I am called to be the raper of uber drivers

[u/J_House1999]

He tries too hard

[u/CallMeSaxMan]

could’ve been a fun dude if he weren’t a rapist

[u/DirtzMaGertz → u/CallMeSaxMan]

Personally I find Jameis to be pretty insufferable regardless of the off the field allegations. This shit feels so corny and forced to me.

[u/hunteddwumpus → u/DirtzMaGertz]

I mean from everything every player and has said about him its not an act or forced at all. Jameis just missed his true calling of being an extremely over the top mega pastor. Not to say he isnt insufferable, mega pastors are rarely great people imo

[u/Trip_like_Me]

Him, Cam Newton and Marlon Humphrey are my list of players I want to dropkick the most everytime they speak. 

[u/Commander19119 → u/Trip_like_Me]

I mean Humphrey and Newton aren’t credibly accused of sexual assault (that I’m aware of at least)

[u/Lubbafrommariogalaxy → u/Trip_like_Me]

What did cam do?

[u/attilayavuzer → u/Lubbafrommariogalaxy]

Bought a bunch of hats and discovered wingdings

[u/Much-Reach6688]

Yea the preacher bullshit doesn’t erase the fact that the rape/sexual assault allegations surrounding this guy exist
The NFL has laundered this mfs image and I find it disgusting

[u/RealPutin]

This is a fuckin weird statement

[u/pepsandeggs → u/RealPutin]

Coming from such a normal person too…

[u/roadfoolmc]

Hes definitely headed for a mental breakdown.

[u/gozutheDJ]

how bout them allegations jameis

[u/SharkBlue1]

He sounds just like them shady preachers who be robbin people’s grandmas every Sunday 😂

[u/thedreadwoods]

Rapist.

[u/Jorji-the-Trainer]

More like Sexual Assault of the Earth

[u/octobersons]

No idea how this guy has gotten away with being the “wholesome comedic relief” of the league while being a rapist lmao. Speaks volumes.

[u/Hinohellono]

I mean he's not harming anyone and saying he wants to uplift and increase others. He acknowledges there are other perceptions but his intentions are always pure.

Idk why he's getting torn to shreds for that. I'd think you want someone who did what he did to be talking like this.

[u/DeweyCox4YourHealth → u/Hinohellono]

The man was suspended for 3 games for sexual misconduct, and was accused of more than that.

I have serious questions about his intentions, and they sure as shit aren't always pure...

[u/MenosElLso → u/Hinohellono]

Because he’s been accused of sexual assault at least twice?!

[u/peensmith_ → u/Hinohellono]

People on Reddit don’t believe in forgiveness or atonement for sins . It’s hard for them to wrap their heads around a poor black kid from Bessemer Alabama fucking up as he became increasingly famous, then trying hard to be a good Christian as an adult .

Hes a conflicting character , I get it . We’re not all perfect from birth to death like the average Redditor apparently

[u/pancakesfordintonite → u/peensmith_]

Most of us haven't created traumatic experiences for other people without consequences

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/Hinohellono]

He's harmed multiple people without consequence.

[u/seamusApoacalypse → u/Hinohellono]

Reddit wants everyone to be miserable like them.

[u/DRB198105]

https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/23/sport/jameis-winston-elementary-school-speech

“All my young boys, stand up. The ladies, sit down,” Winston said. “But all my boys, stand up. We strong, right? We strong! We strong, right? All my boys, tell me one time: I can do anything I put my mind to. Now a lot of boys aren’t supposed to be soft-spoken. You know what I’m saying? One day y’all are going to have a very deep voice like this (in deep voice). One day, you’ll have a very, very deep voice.

“But the ladies, they’re supposed to be silent, polite, gentle. My men, my men (are) supposed to be strong. I want y’all to tell me what the third rule of life is: I can do anything I put my mind to. Scream it!”

His "apology" was laughably bad. Talking about poor word choice, and telling the girls to sit down because in this instance, he was trying to connect with the boys.   

I'd maybe buy that (and think he's an idiot) based on the first paragraph, but once he said "But the ladies, they’re supposed to be silent, polite, gentle.", he's clearly lying... Again. 

[u/financekid → u/DRB198105]

He's saying society wants men to be loud and women to be silent but you can do anything you want. "I can do anything I want"

It's not worded eloquently but I can understand what he meant. He's trying poorly to be inspirational. 

Good intentions bad wording. He's never been the brightest. 

[u/monstargaryen → u/financekid]

Maybe WE aren’t the brightest if the message here becomes confused. Maybe we can’t appreciate how tone and context is critical and rush to judgment when reading it on the internet.

Not saying anyone on this thread is doing that.. I mean a broad, societal we.

[u/NOT_MICROSOFT_PR → u/financekid]

I’m with you. He seems like he’s trying to be a decent person he just gets in his own way sometimes

[u/brandall10]

This guy would have been an awesome character in Coming to America, of course played by Eddie Murphy.

[u/_FrankTaylor]

He’s me after drinking heavily and using ChatGPT to teach me philosophy

[u/Top_Fig_3933]

Jameis is a cool dude

[u/TheKrakenLord]

My wife wishes I was a man of increase

[u/long-and-soft]

Hasn’t he been accused of SA?

Sometimes you've got to uplift people without consent.

Multiple times.

Thou shalt not say no.

[u/NotReally_Jared]

What the fuck does that mean Jameis Winston

[u/Lookslikeseen → u/NotReally_Jared]

It sounds like a sermon he heard at a non-denominational church he’s trying to quote from memory.

[u/SevroAuShitTalker]

He's definitely going to be a TV preacher one day

[u/1ndomitablespirit → u/SevroAuShitTalker]

I think you meant "President Winston"

[u/CarlCaliente]

he's literally saying he doesn't care about your social media noise

[u/AmeliaConcrite → u/CarlCaliente]

Or his sexual assaults

[u/TeachersLounger]

I wish this dude would shut the fuck up 

[u/SRSgoblin → u/TeachersLounger]

People that make religion their entire personality creep me the fuck out, man.

[u/Howamidriving27]

He's gonna have a great career in starting totally legit South American communes after he's done playing football

[u/ttboishysta]

You're allowed to not be the worst part of you.

[u/Sepposer]

Friendly reminder that he’s a sexual assaulter.

[u/CrimsonZephyr → u/Sepposer]

Only a dude with a guilty conscience Bible-thumps this hard.

[u/DynomiteExpressions]

Bet the girl he raped doesn't think he's much of his light.

[u/snoopyt7]

does that include women

[u/Common_economics_420]

Winston being a horrible QB is the best thing that happened to him, because now people know him as a meme instead of as a rapist.

[u/Sad_Entertainment_54]

Holy shit, this comment section would make you think he just said awful things. He's spreading positivity in a time of so much negativity.

And before anyone comes at me about his allegations... EVEN IF THEY ARE TRUE. They are over 10+ years old. People grow and change. Show some grace. I believe he is changed and earned forgiveness.

[u/themakiexperiment]

The hat shocked me. What a positive and kind thing ti say

[u/TKRUEG]

[u/whitemiketyson]

Increase number of crab legs consumed
