Spitting in Sport
A lovely subject
We constantly see footballers spitting during a match, great to see when you're watching a 5 o'clock game and eating your tea
Now footballers constantly tell us that they need to do this to clear throats, noses, and whatever other pathetic excuse they use. The real reason is they are just dirty .
If you watch the tennis players, playing for longer, exterting a lot more energy, when do you ever see them spit? Have you ever seen the No.1 court in the US Open covered in flem?? No So no sporting reason exists as to why footballers do it as they play a lot less than tennis players and don't use as much energy.Keith Driscoll - Administrator

Football is a good sport, but I hate what its been turned into, and how the players are idolised. I'm also very jealous of their salaries.... VERY VERY JEALOUS. Spitting, yuck.

I suggest to send these football players to Singapore..so their butts can be whipped by cane in front of the public whenever they spit

Here's another sport that does....
"The question has been flooding our inbox and comments sections since the swimming competition began on Saturday. "Why do swimmers spit all the time?"
They don't do it like baseball players; they dip their heads into the pool, open their mouths, collect water and force it through their lips. What's the deal with that?"

The scandanavians quite like chewing tobacco too. I do recall seeing it during my time in Sweden.

Chew and spit. Ding.
Evidently leads to mouth cancer.

Spitting is disgusting under any circumstances, but having mentioned Singapore has made my day, because Britain should enforce exactly the same laws as Singapore!

Spitting is a real public health problem in some parts of London caused by immigrants from the indian sub continent

Usual story if they hit enough of them with the £80.00 fines they'd soon stop this repulsive behaviour

Both footy and tennis players burn an average of 518 calories an hour. Footballers are only on the pitch for 90 minutes though, tennis players 2-5 hours, so they can burn 1000-2500+ compared with around 770 a footballer will use during a game. Hence the reason tennis players have to eat and drink during a game to ensure they keep up energy levels, whereas footballers will only snack at half-time.

When I played the Saturday and Sunday league local football anyone who spat in anothers face usually got a hefty smack in the Jaw!
Totally unacceptable worse than a bad tackle.
