I just posted every one of his tweets related to this event this morning, in chronological order.Hopefully, somebody videotaped this so we can judge context.Anderson obviously doesn't know that Kinsman's name is fair game since she went public in the doc.* * *Joel D. Anderson Verified account@byjoelandersonI write about sports, race and American culture for @BuzzFeedNews. If you don't like what I say, fly away, fly away. [email protected]Joel D. Anderson @byjoelanderson  ·  1 hour agoHear to listen to Jameis Winston's attorney David Cornwell at Villanova Law School and he just casually dropped the name of the accuser.Cornwell explaining why he's using her name publicly now. "The media only reported half the story.""Her name had been known for months and reported. ... And it's a media policy. How can the media dictate to me how I will defend my client?""She lied and said Jameis hit her on the back of the head. She lied and said she had been drugged" - Cornwell on Winston's accuser"Journalism is dead in sports media" - CornwellCornwell explains that he turned down an opportunity to defend Ray Rice because of the video. He defended Winston because of "the evidence."Cornwell is going on a diatribe against the coverage of Winston's rape case. First ESPN. Now New York Times. "It was based on ignorance."Cornwell claims the New York Times wrote "what was basically an apology" after he complained about a reported column."I hope every single one of you are uncomfortable about this." - Cornwell"It's the first time we've seen the vilification of an athlete drop into amateur ranks at this level" - Cornwell on Winston #MooradSymp"Do you know she didn't make an outcry?" - Cornwell complaining that Winston's accuser didn't directly contact authorities after incident."you've got to admit that he's a knucklehead" - moderator to Cornwell. #MooradSymp"He's ready to be an NFL player on the field. But he's not ready to be an NFL player off the field" - Cornwell on Winston. Gotdamn.To think: I almost didn't come to this this morning.Cornwell talking about Winston's impending transition to the NFL. "This league will chew you up, spit you out and keep going.""We have to assist him in growing and developing as a man. And it's not going to be easy" - Cornwell on Winston."If he messes up again, he's done. … And so we talked about it and (Winston) said, 'I want to meet'" the commissioner - CornwellCornwell says it was Winston's idea to meet with Roger Goodell. "He has an incredible self-awareness" - Cornwell on Winston"Book it" - Cornwell on if Winston is going No. 1 in the draft. Closes this session to applause.Just spoke with Cornwell. The implication is that Jameis still has some growing to do, not that he's unprepared to be in the NFL.
