CINCINNATI —- The Bengals likely season-ending loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday was made doubly worse by an incident that involved star wideout Ja’Marr Chase and Steelers safety Jalen Ramsey.
“I ain’t never opened my mouth to that guy…. I didn’t spit on nobody,” he said after the game.
Footage captured by FOX19’s Austin Briski later revealed the truth, however, and the unfortunate reality is that Chase simply lied about not spitting on Ramsey.
This has caused a stir of analysts and former players calling Chase out for his actions. It is utterly disgusting and indefensible to spit on another human being, regardless of what may be getting said in a competitive environment.
Stephen A Smith spoke out on the matter on First Take Monday morning and stated that Chase’s actions should result in an automatic two-game suspension.
“It should an automatic two-game suspension, automatic. One is for the spitting, another is for telling a bald-faced lie.” Smith said.
No matter which way you look at it, Chase was in the wrong to say the least. You simply do not spit on another human being.

As Wilson gears up for the upcoming NFL season, one thing is clear: he won’t let personal attacks distract him from his focus. His heartfelt statement not only addressed the backlash but also cemented his reputation as a leader who operates with honesty, integrity, and heart — both on and off the field.
