Jameis Winston separated by police during bench-clearing brawl (Video)
A bench-clearing brawl between rivals Florida and Florida State in baseball on Tuesday night suddenly became a lot more interesting once everyone realized Jameis Winston was involved.
Winston had nothing to do with the brawl starting — it was incited when Florida infielder Zack Powers got in outfielder DJ Stewart’s face following a swinging bunt and collision up the first baseline — but Winston was among those who got involved.
As you can see in the photo below, the Heisman Trophy winner was separated by a policeman who stepped in:

Another must-watch item from the brawl is this video, which features a crazy female fan screaming for Winston to beat some behind during the fight:
Look, we only highlighted Winston here because he is famous compared to everyone else in the brawl, but that does not mean we’re blaming him for the fight; this is part of baseball, and he was doing just what teammates do in a situation like this.
