Radio host Rush Limbaugh on Thursday suggested that football fans would reward a Florida State player's behavior after he was suspended for shouting obscenities about female genitals.
Deadspin first reported on Tuesday that Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston had been seen by students standing on a table in the student union, and yelling, "f*ck her right in the p*ssy."
The phrase is an Internet meme that was derived from a hoax video of a fake local news report.
Florida State officials announced on Wednesday that Winston would be benched for the first half of Saturday's game against Clemson.
On his Thursday radio show, Limbaugh explained that Winston had been suspended for "shouting about vaginas and stuff."
"I'm going to make a prediction to you," the conservative host said. "I guarantee you when this guy shows up for the second half, he's going to get a standing ovation."
"He's going to get a standing 'O' from the students. He's going to get a standing ovation of support for having been suspended, and he's going to get a standing ovation for having the guts."
Limbaugh added: "He's going to get a standing ovation for doing what he did. 'That a way, that a way to bust through, man. Way to really blow out the envelope, man. That's so cool.' And they're going to give him a standing 'O.' You wait and see."
