After a blowout win over the Florida State Seminoles in the Rose Bowl, Oregon Ducks players were seen chanting “No Means No” to the tune of FSU’s “tomahawk chop” chant. That was seen as a shot at FSU quarterback Jameis Winston, who has faced allegations of sexual assault.
Video of several players singing the chant were posted on Vine by FoxSports West’s Bear Heiser. Running back Kadi Benoit and linebacker Torrodney Prevot are among those visible in the clip. A longer video also showed wide receiver Chance Allen taking part.
Oregon coach Mark Helfrich told The Associated Press that the behavior was not inappropriate and the players will face punishment.
“This is not what our program stands for, and the student-athletes will be disciplined internally,” Helfrich said.
Winston was investigated for an alleged sexual assault that took place in December 2012. He was never charged in the incident, notes ABC News. He was also cleared during a recent FSU student code of conduct hearing.
FSU lost to Oregon 59-20. Oregon will next play Ohio State for the college football championship in Arlington, Texas on Monday, Jan. 12.
