Jameis Winston Scandals: A Timeline Of NFL Quarterback's Sexist Comments And Misdeeds, Including Telling Schoolgirls To 'Be Silent'

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston gave advice Wednesday to elementary students in St. Petersburg, Florida, but it did not go over well for the football star.

Winston, 23, who was a guest at Melrose Elementary, spoke to the students for about 40 minutes, telling them they could do anything they put their minds to. His motivational speech appeared to be going smoothly until he started to talk about gender roles.

"All my young boys, stand up. The ladies, sit down," Winston said, according to the Tampa Bay Times. "But all my boys, stand up. We strong, right? We strong! We strong, right? All my boys, tell me one time: I can do anything I put my mind to. Now a lot of boys aren't supposed to be soft-spoken. You know what I'm saying? One day y'all are going to have a very deep voice like this (in deep voice). One day, you'll have a very, very deep voice.

“But the ladies, they’re supposed to be silent, polite, gentle. My men, my men (are) supposed to be strong. I want y’all to tell me what the third rule of life is: I can do anything I put my mind to. Scream it!”

Winston then issued an apology after receiving a series of backlash on social media over his comment that women are supposed to be “silent, polite, gentle.”

“I was making an effort to interact with a young male in the audience who didn’t seem to be paying attention, and I didn’t want to single him out so I asked all the boys to stand up,” Winston told the local newspaper. “During my talk, I used a poor word choice that may have overshadowed that positive message for some.”

Winston has made insensitive comments about women in the past. The former Florida State star also made headlines for incidents involving the law.
