Two recent spitting incidents in football have sparked concern. NFL player Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott, followed by University of Florida's Brendan Bett, who was ejected for spitting on an opponent. This follows a similar incident involving Florida's Jamari Lyons earlier in 2023. The NFL's response to Carter's actions may influence how future spitting incidents are handled at all levels of the game, highlighting the need for better sportsmanship.
