Ja'Marr Chase Suspended for One Game and Loses $507,156 After Spitting on Opponent
Now, all NFL players know that spitting on an opponent can result in a suspension. On Monday, the NFL officially announced that Ja'Marr Chase, wearing a Cincinnati Bengals jerseys, will be suspended for one game for "unsportsmanlike conduct" after spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey.
This is the first time an NFL player has been suspended for spitting. Previously, such penalties were fines. Chase appealed the suspension, but unfortunately, the original ruling was upheld. This means Chase's nfl jersey will not be worn in the game against the New England Patriots, who are on a hot season with a 9-2 record.
Therefore, all NFL players have been informed that spitting means missing a game and losing one game's salary. This means Chase will lose a staggering $448,333 in salary, plus a $58,823 appearance bonus per game. This is undoubtedly the most expensive "spitting" incident in NFL history.
