Like, I don't wanna make it seem like, you know, the guy can't be human, the guy can't have those feelings.
What, what was done when he got carted off and, and they cheered was the most diabolical thing that a fan base can do to somebody.
You, like, you don't do that.
A- and that's why, like, that night it was a controversial thing because in that locker room, you know, you had Jameis Winston go on his, his, you know, his He kinda gave, like, his sermon about the whole situation.
You had others talking about it.
And it is true.
Like, you can't do that as a fan base.
It's ju- it's just flat out wrong.
I don't care how you feel about a player, you can't do it.
So the fans were wrong for doing that, without question.

Yeah.
It makes it worse, and it, and it highlights again, he can stand there and say all he wants that it doesn't bother him.
It highlights again how much this really does impact him.

I ultimately don't think it will sway his opinion.
I think he's still gonna roll with I, I think he's probably gonna see this as, like, a player sharing his opinion or his feelings, and he's a guy that shares his feelings and opinions, so I, I don't know that he's gonna, like, change his mind.
But I, I, like, I, I do think, like, this just sets such a bad tone for the season that lies ahead for this team
