Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston says he made a "poor word choice" in making stereotypical gender comments during a speech at an elementary school on Wednesday.
While speaking to third- through fifth-graders at Melrose Elementary in St. Petersburg, Florida, Winston called on the male students to stand up while directing the female students to stay seated.
"All my young boys, stand up. The ladies, sit down," Winston said, according to the Tampa Bay Times. "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."
Winston later tried to clarify that he was trying to motivate a particular student without singling him out.
"I was making an effort to interact with a young male in the audience who didn't seem to be paying attention, and I didn't want to single him out, so I asked all the boys to stand up," Winston said, according to the newspaper. "During my talk, I used a poor word choice that may have overshadowed that positive message for some."
Winston has worked to rehabilitate his image since his days at Florida State, when he was accused of sexually assaulting a female student in 2012.
He was never charged with a crime in the incident, and the university disciplinary committee found insufficient evidence to charge him with violating the student code. But in December, Winston settled a federal lawsuit filed by the woman.
Florida State also agreed to pay the woman $950,000 in January 2016 to settle a lawsuit she filed against the school for its handling of her Title IX complaint.
They're losers because their QB is a moron off the field? Many teams have done OK with dolts under center.
Machado wrote:What does his personal life have to do with his professional life? Not a damn thing.
LOLZ..........Why is this even news? Watch the video, I see a guy trying to do something good and fumbled his words. He makes Trump look like Mother Teresa. Winston makes Machado look like Kanye West at the VMA's.
Machado: I'm very happy for you Winston but Jerry Jones, Zek, AP and Greg Hardy had one of the best humanitarian attempts of all time!
Winston's done a great job growing up on and off the field so far, I doubt one person here thought he'd still be playing let alone succeeding. So he was trying do something for the community pulls a stupid and gets blasted for it? Fuck look what our President does daily. I hate the Buc's and Winston but this is trivial Media garbage. Winston's clearly not the brightest dude but at least he was trying to do good....Sure beats anything GREG HARDY done but Dallas still signed him.
BTW, how's Zek's abuse investigation turning out? Swept under the rug yet?
Then Machado stands up for AP, a child abuser just because of the constant rumors connecting him possibly to Dallas and bashes a guy who don't have the best speaking skills while doing community work. Has Winston done one wrong thing since being drafted except improve the team?
Reason # 7,889,001 why Cowboys fans never fail to deliver. Not to mention Dallas had to comeback in the 4th with a couple FG's and just about got beat by that perennial loser Tampa Bay Bucs Winston lead team.

Ezekiel Elliott: NFL dragging feet on domestic violence investigation.............
The NFL has dragged its feet to protect its bankable superstar—and super-powered owner—long enough.
Just last week, NFL commissioner and pet rock Roger Goodell announced that the NFL had no definitive timetable for the ongoing domestic violence investigation of Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott:

If you’re wondering what’s taking so long, you aren’t alone. The NFL has (supposedly) been investigating Elliott since last summer. During that time, the Cowboys have improbably played their way into being a Super Bowl contender, thanks in great part to Elliott, who is now a mortal lock for Offensive Rookie Of The Year. He’s played so well, in fact, that the investigation has been all but forgotten. It’s barely ever discussed on game telecasts, especially when he’s busy jumping into giant Salvation Army kettles. And God knows that daily fantasy players like me could give a shit, not when I've got BIG MONEY riding on Zeke in my weekly money pool. I don’t want my buzz killed.
This gradual wiping of the Elliott allegations from the public consciousness is no accident. Last month, an ESPN reporter saw Cowboys owner and horny 8-year-old Jerry Jones confront the woman in charge of Elliott’s investigation, Lisa Friel, telling her, “Your bread and butter is going to get both of us thrown out on the street.” To Elliott’s great discredit, Jones’ actions suggest that there are things about the case that he would prefer Friel not make public, if he even wants her to discover them at all.
Jerry Jones is the most powerful owner in football. He owns the most valuable franchise in the league, and he was the de facto puppetmaster behind the Rams move to Los Angeles in the offseason. The fact that the Cowboys are a massive ratings draw in an otherwise down season for the NFL only makes him more influential.
