DT Jalen Carter, PHI (1 Viewer)

[the moops]

I’d toss him out for 2-3 more games

is there precedence for this? i agree that they should, but wonder if this has happened before and what the results were

[irish eyes]

I can’t type on this board what I think of Carter. Spitting on someone is a total dirtbag move. It says a lot about his character, and none of it is good.

He's a terrible human being & he proved it once again tonight. Not much else to say.

I can't believe the patience displayed by all of the Cowboys players. There were like 5 Cowboys surrounding Dak when he was spit on.

4 games suspension imcoming. Or more.

According to ChatGPT, he won't get suspended. The most infamous case of a player spitting on another player is Bill Romanowski. No suspension. In all other cases, no suspension (just a fine).

If the NFLPA had any power, they would protest that. But they don't and won't.

 

[Aznflyer14]

That gotta be the most childish and bonehead stunt idiotically made by Carter... in front of all TV cameras... in *L*I*V*E. Sheesh!

 

[Terpman22]

hopefully it’s a 6 game ban

LMAO Rashee Rice level of bad?

If im not mistaken, spitting on somebody is considered assault by law. Dak could press charges if he wants. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hockey is just crazy I dunno. Players die from slit throats, young fans die from getting puck at 70 MPH to the temple. No one ever had more than 13 teeth.

Just a different breed

[fred_1_15301]

So Dak spit on the ground in front of Carter first? Hmm

 

[The Gator]

Not and eagles or cowboys fan. In my head when I saw the spit initially I was like he just spit on that man. Then I was like no he couldn’t have otherwise this would be a big deal. I guess he did.

He's a terrible person, always has been

no but spitting on a person in something that is a billion dollar industry would be even worse

YOU SURE ABOUT THAT!?!

 

[fruity pebbles]

Nah. He wasn’t anywhere near him. There were a couple of his own guys between them.
Dak spit

 

[Manster]

Dude should be sending CD a nice gift cuz he took away the narrative that the spitting incident caused a loss

This guy already pulled something very close to Rashee Rice, except in Carter's case, people died in the wreck and he left the scene. I mean, why would even bring up people leaving the scene of a major accident they're partially at fault for when this guy did exactly that? What is wrong with you?

Dak spit

He was within 3 yards give or take a step. Just watch the video you posted. He baited him and Carter foolishly took the bait.

 

[Sarlakticacid]

“Dak shot first”

 

[rockaction]

The Dak thing is comically ridiculous and is the most delusional copium I've seen in some time. Disgusting apologia.

 

[Soulfly3]

Primetime season opener, w/ Gerald's team involved.

He's absolutely getting suspended. There's no possible way people think otherwise.

 

[SeniorVBDStudent]

second player gets caught. if they try to suspend him for this, dak's name will get dragged through the mud.

 

[Soulfly3]

dak's name will get dragged through the mud.

for being spit on?

 

[Zeppelin]

He should be at least as good as Suh, who he reminds me of a lot

Me too!

‘Cept Suh never got a ring eh

Suh won a ring with Tampa Bay.

You’re obviously joking but see
Hackbart v. Cincinnati Bengals, Inc.

Though this was not a criminal case, the court discussed the involuntary reflex defense regarding aggressive contact during a sports contest. Cincinnati Bengals football player Charles Clark hit Denver Broncos player Dale Hackbart on the back of the head out of frustration after an interception. The play was over, and Hackbart was not looking when he was hit from behind. He broke three vertebrae in his neck and suffered several muscular injuries as a result. The district court stated, “The violence of professional football is carefully orchestrated. Both offensive and defensive players must be extremely aggressive in their actions, and they must play with reckless abandonment of self-protective instincts.” [Hackbart v. Cincinnati Bengals, Inc., 435 F. Supp. 352, 355 (D. Co. 1977), rev’d 601 F.2d 516 (10th Cir. 1979), cert. denied 444 U.S. 931 (1979)].

The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the trial court by holding that even a football player may be held responsible for injuring an opponent if he acts with the reckless disregard for the opponent’s safety. Id at p. 92

Generally, fighting in hockey is foreseeable and players consent within reason. But players can be, and on occasion been, charged criminally. Like when Dino Ciccarelli hit an opponent over the head with his stick. Ciccarelli was criminally charged and convicted of assault, and the court delivered a sentence of one day in jail and a fine. Canadian case, but the same applies in the US.

Spitting on someone is assault in Pennsylvania. Clearly this was not the type of assault players consent to in the game.
We’ll see if a prosecutor in Pennsylvania will be willing to charge an Eagles player for this assault.

 

[wgoldsph]

1 - amazing restraint by the Cowboys. I know the smart play is to throw your hands up and call for the ref, but if someone deliberately spits on me my IQ drops a few points for a moment.

2 - consider myself a bit of a scuzzy *******... And it would take A LOT for me to spit on another man. Especially when my multi millionaire contract rises when I don't spit on people.

3 - seriously, if you're going to spit on a man it better be followed by you swinging on them. All or nothing baby.

To be fair, Romanowski played when men were men. He was a crazy dude.

Nobody is excusing Carter. But Dak spit first. With the supposed emphasis on taunting this year, I would expect a hefty fine coming his way.

Spitting on the ground 10 feet from somebody is something different than spitting on somebody.

Spitting in the direction of a player and then giving them a "sup" look is indeed taunting. I expect Carter's fine to be larger than Daks if that makes you feel better.

I don’t care about Dak expectorating and can’t possibly know his intent. The league won’t do a thing. It’s like jaywalking in a town without any cars.

Carter spit in the dude’s face quite deliberately. There’s very little to suss out if piece together. He meant to.

Not comparing. Carter got ejected and will still get fined.

Dak also taunted and should get fined. Clear video evidence. If the NFL is serious about taunting as they say, a fine will come.

 

[renesauz]

suspension is very unlikely. No real history, and ejection happened very very early. When ejections happen that early, the game the player was ejected from is considered as if it was a suspension. In this case, it's also obvious that it was provoked by DAK, who should get a fine.

Sure it is, but Daks post game comments were absurd in light of the video. He was CLEARLY baiting/taunting Jalen. It was no "misunderstanding" as he made direct eye contact while doing it and went out of his way to spit in his direction. Jalen is an idiot for responding, but Dak is no innocent in this one.

 

[SayWhat?]

Dak spit on the ground and looked at a player with a “sup?” look? And he’s going to get fined for that?

 

[renesauz]

Also, the Hurts hate is confusing to me. Dude had fantastic numbers 19 of 23...when at least 3 of those were throw aways under pressure? A 50 yard dime to a fairly well covered WR? Great rushing numbers? Someone at the game said that WRs were not open downfield.

 

[Insein]

They gave a 15 yard penalty for a dude flexing after a tackle. He might also get a fine. So yes. Dak should get a fine if taunting is taunting as they say.

 

[Cowboysfan8]

But…..Dak!!! Lol

Never change guys

 

[ProstheticRGK]

If you spit on somebody, you’re a dirtbag. FULL STOP.

Kudos to Dak for being a savvy vet and poking the bear and getting the ultimate reaction. He knew what he was doing.

And, I’ll be honest, the context softens my outrage towards Carter. I still think he is a selfish, immature jackass and a dirtbag. But, I’m more disappointed in him taking the bait and being stupid than I am if he had just spit on Dak out of the blue.

Ofc, I’ll readily admit, I gotta watch this jamook wreck games wearing my team’s colors, so I’m doing ethical gymnastics to be able to root for him.

 

[massraider]

Unacceptable. The Eagles should trade this dirtbag to the Raiders ASAP to teach him a lesson.

 

[RC94]

If there's no real precedent for a suspension for spitting on someone, Carter may be the player the NFL wants to make an example of.

Ain't no Hurts hate here. The guy wins everywhere he goes. FF boners want the stats. Teams want wins. Hurts delivered at Bama, OU, and PHI. Dude is 101-32 in his pro and college careers.

Everyone knows Carter is a knucklehead. Easy to bait into doing something dumb

And this shouldn't be the case, since he has received his game check.
