We need a sanctioned boxing match after this … you can’t just spit on another man like that.
Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Jalen Ramsey was hit with an ejection after he threw a punch at Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who appeared to spit at him with just over 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter of the Steelers’ 34-12 win Sunday.

Postgame, Ramsey insisted that Chase spat on him first, prompting the punch. Video from field level, caught by FOX 19 WXIX-TV, clearly shows saliva leaving Chase’s mouth right before Ramsey’s swing.
“He spit on me,” said Ramsey. “I don’t give a f*ck about football after that, respectfully. I’m always going to be all for trash talking, sh*t talking, things like that. I actually enjoy that part of the game. I think that people know that. … We were talking sh*t, which I’m cool with. And then as soon as he spit, it was f*ck that.

“I’m sure the NFL, they’ll do their due diligence. They’ve got 100 cameras out there. They can investigate. They can see everything. … They should be able to pull it up and see that he spit and it’s whatever after that, to be honest. I was still a little too nice if I’m keeping it honest with you.”

However, Chase denied spitting on Ramsey.
“I ain’t ever opened my mouth to that guy,” Chase said while speaking with the media. “I didn’t spit on nobody.”
