FSU QB off team after video shows him punching woman in face

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Just hours after prosecutors released a video Monday showing Florida State quarterback De'Andre Johnson punching a woman at a bar, the team's coach announced he had been dismissed from the team.

In a statement, coach Jimbo Fisher announced the 19-year-old Johnson's immediate dismissal. The quarterback had been suspended after the June 24 assault, which took place at a Tallahassee nightclub.

In the security camera video released by the State Attorney's Office, it appears the woman and Johnson were trying to get a position at the bar, and Johnson jostled her.

The woman raises a fist and shouts at Johnson before he grabs her fist and holds it down. She then raises her other hand and swings. It's not clear whether she made contact, but Johnson responds by punching her in the face while still grabbing her other hand. She staggers, and her nose begins bleeding.

Johnson has been charged with misdemeanor battery in connection with the incident.

Stop recruiting from the ghetto Jimbo!

I am in two minds here. If a woman throw a punch, then she can expect to get hit back. The question is however, if she is about to throw a punch, can you strike first....?

Report: Jimbo Fisher bans Florida State players from bars

Looks like it's last call for Florida State football players.

After news broke Friday that Florida State running back Dalvin Cook would be charged with battery after allegedly punching a woman outside a Tallahassee bar, Jimbo Fisher released a statement saying he would hold players accountable for their actions, and promising that "we will do better."

Well, apparently the first part of Fisher's plan to do better is to ban players from bars.

The Tallahassee Democrat's Jim Henry is reporting that Fisher met with his players on Saturday, and declared bars off-limits. So apparently prohibition is back in Tallahassee ...

I'm still trying to figure out how two underage students were in bars in the first place.

Perhaps some bars should have their license suspended too. I'm with Matt on this one; if a woman throws a punch she can expect a retaliatory strike. I will say though that I'll be something of a gentleman and let her throw the first punch which I'll try to duck. This all goes back to women wanting equal status. ( NOTE: I'm not referring to equal rights which I do agree with.) Back in the day if a woman got mad at you a slap in the face was the usual result and you just took it like a man, now they want to throw a left hook but still expect immunity from any physical repercussions. Sorry Toots but if you swing at me I will neutralize the threat.

And another thought...As Webb said "Stop recruiting from the ghetto Jimbo!" AND stop treating these football clowns like they are demigods. As a high school coach over in Minneapolis put it "They are just grown men (supposedly) playing a kids game." The world will not change one iota as a result of their efforts on the playing field.
