Everyone tuned in last night for the start of the season in the NFL got to see Jalen Carter choose to spit on Dak Prescott. ESPN’s Ryan Clark said that was also a choice by him to put who he was on display, and in a way that has to be addressed by someone.
Reacting to the spitting incident on ‘Get Up’ on Friday, Clark didn’t hold back in criticizing Carter for that act that got him ejected at the opening of opening night. Not only was it a decision that could have cost the Philadelphia Eagles the game potentially, but it was a decision that reflected about as poorly as it could have on Carter and his character.
“When Jalen Carter, who is one of the best players in the entire NFL, shows that lack of respect for the game, shows that lack of an ability to make good decisions early on in the game? That is such a selfish play,” said Clark. “Not only is it freakin’ disgusting, right. Not only do you show what a low-level human you are in that moment, but you let the entire team down.”
