Florida State Football Rumors: Jameis Winston Suspended for First Half Versus No. 22 Clemson [VIDEO]

"It was not a good decision," Fisher said. ”You can't make certain statements that are derogatory or inflammatory to any person, race or gender. You have to understand that. You have to be very intelligent about what you say, (because) it matters.”

"We're deciding. We're talking and things [are] going on right now," Fisher said of Winston's status before the punishment was announced. "It's not something that we want or are indicative of. And it's not a good decision. It was something that had to be addressed.”

Reports surfaced Tuesday that Winston was seen around campus standing on tables and screaming obscenities. Students of Florida State flooded Twitter concerning the incident and pinned Winston the culprit.
