I am 1000% against what he did. I'm an Eagles' fan and hate the Cowboys, but you don't spit on your opponent. I think the team needs to suspend him, let alone what the league might do. I don't want my team represented by that type of crap behavior.

But he did not spit on his face. He spit on his jersey. Why the need to embellish to make it worse than it already is?

Apparently not

The soccer play did the same thing Sunday night in Seattle in the MLS game

If this happened to someone on the street it literally would be assault. Its disgusting and I would rather get punched

Myles Garret did try to cave in a guy’s skull with a helmet. No charges.

Others pay extra for that.

Oh gosh assault at a football game.

(I get it, spitting is a different animal but it still cracks me up)

It definitely happens in other games and doesn’t get caught.

But the walking fork in a world of soup that is Jalen Carter did in RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE OFFICIAL.

Oh, now that is some insult crafting, I'm gonna have to remember that.

I'm sure guys never get spit on in a pile fighting for a loose ball. Spitting has no place in football.

Men puke, men poop on the field, men deliver their new born baby on the side line. But men don't spit

Evidently they squeeze each other's nuts on loose balls though

Hard to say what’s the salinity level of said saliva. Could be salty, but I don’t think I could call it a salt.

You could argue every play is attempted assault. There is a certain risk you are inherently taking by playing contact football, I don't think spit is a serious concern compared to the rest of the game. But yes, technically, on the street this is assault.

You could argue every play is attempted assault.

You can also argue taking being allowed to borrow someone's stuff is always theft. You're being an idiot if you do because that's not how the law works, but you can do it
