Jameis Winston Sexual Assault
After watching Hunting Grounds, I was interested in the Jameis Winston topic. Personally, I was a fan of Jameis, but after learning the details of him slipping drugs in a girls drink and raping her, my feelings have changed pretty quick. It's not the first time he's been accused of assault, and knowing that he has had a fairly unbothered football career in college and NFL, it's a bit of an unsettling feeling. The worst part is that Tallahassee and the Police Department sought out the joy of FSU winning a National Championship over justifying a gruesome rape case in their community. Fans were more obssessed with winning instead of justice, showing how strong the football culture is in Florida, but also the level of ignorance for such a serious issue. If you were a die hard FSU football fan, would you truthfully want justice for the girl even if it meant expelling Jameis Winston, or would you rather have it be forgotten and let Jameis Winston keep winning games and having a successful college career at FSU?

I have always been a fan of Jameis Winston and it really wasn't surprising when I first read that he was being charged with sexual assault. Now a days there are lots of athletes that think they can get away with anything because they have the money and the fame. It is embarrassing to see that the justice system steps away from these cases because the accuser has lots of power, but that is the world we live in now a days.
