A handful of Oregon football players will be disciplined for mocking Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston and the allegations of sexual assault he’s faced in the past two years.
The Ducks players, who were celebrating their win in the Rose Bowl Game, chanted “No means no!” to the tune of Florida State’s war chant.
“We are aware of the inappropriate behavior in the postgame,” coach Mark Helfrich said in a statement released by Oregon on Thursday night. “This is not what our program stands for, and the student-athletes will be disciplined internally.”
The above video, uploaded to Vine by Bear Heiser of Fox Sports West, drew criticism from fans and rivals alike.
Sophomore linebacker Torrodney Prevot and redshirt freshman Kani Benoit are both visible doing the chant, along with a third player who is wearing a “WON NOT DONE” T-shirt over his game jersey.
Reached by The Associated Press, Heiser said the video was taken on the field as Oregon players celebrated the win from a podium. He shared a longer, 27-second video with the AP that showed the chant initiated somewhere off camera. The players in the shorter video, as well as wide receiver Chance Allen, joined in.
According to ESPN, Winston, a Heisman Trophy winner, was never charged after a woman accused him of raping her in 2012.
Winston was also cleared of violating Florida State’s student code of conduct.
