Here's the reality of the situation.
The members of this board believe that:
DJ is an FSU QB. He's part of a culture that condones raping and battering women. Therefore, this kid must have pushed his way through a crowded bar paying no attention to anyone but his own selfish and entitled desires. He bumps into a woman who turns to him and says, "Excuse me, sir. I'm standing here." His response is a guaranteed to have been, "Look b#$#! This is my spot, you betta reckonize! I play for FSU!!!" He bumps her again and she turns around, "Um...excuse me sir, would you please stop bumping into me?" DJ then grabs her and punches this chick to show her who's boss. After all, he's an FSU quarterback and she should have felt lucky just standing next to him. That is what you guys believe...he's an FSU QB, there's no way he made a mistake, no way another person instigated and he regretfully retaliated despite how he was raised. Nope! He is an FSU QUAR-TER-BACK and just like Jameis Winston, he has no character. Heck, who knows how many women he's put the beat down on. You're certain this isn't the first and it won't be the last. He should have been dismissed from the team at the 24 sec mark...that's when Jimbo was made aware of the situation...you're certain of that too. Heck, you probably view Jimbo sitting in a master control room watching all of his players on dozens of monitors while letting out a sinister laugh.
There is absolutely no way possible that DJ was actually raised right, has no criminal background, and has been a solid citizen up and to this point. It's not even remotely possible he was attempting to get to the bar and some drunk chick pushed her way in front of him to get there first. It's not possible that while he was trying to secure his place to her left that he inadvertently made contact because of the tight squeeze between the woman with the drink and her. It's not possible that she was drunk and over-reacted to being bumped by whipping around, shouting, "Get off me you f**** n****!" then acting like she was going to hit him, then actually following through with her initial threat. In your minds (despite the video having no audio and witness statements not being made available to the public) it has to be the former; he's a thug...AN FSU THUG!
FSU sycophants are excuse makers and condone punching a woman because they'd like to believe that Jimbo didn't recruit 85 thugs (the same players UF recruits) and that maybe, just maybe there are a few good kids and this one just made a mistake. ...a mistake that Johnson has owned, apologized for, and made no excuses for. The fact he even mentioned the racial slur must be a lie, no way possible the woman said that because no one has leaked the witness statements, gone on Oprah to discuss it or leaked it to the Twitter-verse.
What's even funnier is despite it appearing that she was the instigator, despite there being a tiny possibility that she called him a racial slur, every single Nole in this thread has supported FSU's decision to dismiss Johnson. We also support FSU's decision to suspend Cook and if his side of the story can't be corroborated we agree he should be dismissed as well. We've even gone on to question why FSU and UF recruited him so heavily in the first place based on his past and have engaged in conversation about whether these kids should be granted 2nd chances and if so, to what extent. We also supported YOUR guy, Treon Harris, and that he should be given the benefit of the doubt until more evidence (or better yet, formal charges) came to light, but UF caved to media scrutiny and suspended him just because some woman said so. You guys don't see the implication that has moving forward--NO EVIDENCE REQUIRED to have a player suspended. I hope your SEC rivals don't ever fully grasp that concept.
Ya, we're the crazy ones.
