Warning: This post deals with rape and racism. It is not a pleasant column.
Earlier today, The Undefeated posted an article on Jameis Winston’s maturation, which was mostly a puff piece. I generally liked it, and framed it as Winston maturing into a "real face of the franchise." Sure, it was mostly an uncritical look at Winston, the kind of piece we see a dozen times a week about many different NFL players, but sometimes, as sports fans, it’s nice to read those articles. Not everything has to go through a hyper-critical lens.
