Jameis Winston Publix Confession: 3 reasons his stock is plummeting
Jameis Winston Can’t Take Responsibility for His Actions
Just listening to him tell the story to Harbaugh is almost cringe-worthy. The talented, young quarterback basically tip-toed out of responsibility for taking crab legs and put the blame on the store employee working in the seafood section.
After the incident last year, the employee who Winston blamed for “giving him free crab legs” told police that he put price tags on the seafood before the quarterback went up and retrieved them before walking out of the store, avoiding security.
The fact that this is the first time he has told the “true” story of what happened that day makes it seem very suspicious.
Taking anything for free is against the law, even if the store employee claims that he will “hook you up” although Winston is the only one who said that happened. The employee denied ever saying he would give them for free and Jameis picked the story up and ran with it — just like he did the crab legs.
If a guy can’t take responsibility for his own actions off the field, how is a GM going to look at him and honestly give him a chance to lead their team? If he’s just going to put the blame on his teammates, what’s the point of giving him a starting role?
Stock drop.
