Why do the players spit

[RanzB]

Family, friends and neighbours. The more mucus you can summon, the greater the respect.

Ace Ventura 2?

 

[mister]

What about all the climate changes affecting them?

 

[OzzieCapie]

You'll find it mostly occurring in sports that involve running and similar activities (Tour de France, marathons etc) and not weigh lifting etc. i.e. Sports to put load on the respiratory system more than the cardiovascular system.

Poor excuse. I run every day and still race regularly. Even when I am alone on a road or trail, I blow my nose into my sleeve.

I also cycle about twice/wk...and its bloody cold mornings/nights here now, and the thick layer of cloth on glove over back of hand is exactly for that.

It is just poor filthy manners.

It is one of the reasons I don't train in public pools either...can't ber the thought of swallowing someone else's spit and piss.

 

[seanyp00h]

:erm: Thats so gross

Not if you allow it to dry and then simply peel it off so you can wear it for another week

 

[EnchanterG]

Maybe they spit because they suck as footballers?
Hehehehehe.
I'm going straight to h3ll

 

[h0ll0w]

I spit when I do sport, so I can look like the big okes on TV.

 

[OzzieCapie]

:erm: Thats so gross

How so?

Its a running shirt, already sweaty and the nose is basically just 'wet' rather than gob....and its my shirt, which gets put in the wash...do you run with the same sweaty one?
How is that worse than gobbing on the pitch where others slide onto, or swimming behind someone who gobs and pees all the time?

The back of the cycling glove is also specifically designed to wipe your nose

I beg to differ. I play on Friday nights outdoors in the cold JHB winter, at 9pm at night. Sometimes we play from 11pm to 1am, and it still doesn't affect me. Most of the guys are play with don't spit continuously like these guys do. And I play with quite a few smokers... Maybe it's just me... but I still think these guys are just plain filthy.

Perhaps its a cultural thing?

Goalkeeper?

LMFAO Mwahahahaha!!

Goalkeeper?

Central Midfield. Up and down all the time. Controller of the game. Only time I stand keeper is if I am injured. And if you stand goalkeeper, you will definitely be the coldest player on the field. With very little activity for most of the game, you are likely to have the runniest nose and most mucous.

But seriously, spitting all over the place is just plain filthy, uncivilised.

 

[MartyMarts]

Not all footballers spit. Fabregas who plays for the mighty Arsenal is a midfielder so runs around a lot and I don't ever recall seeing him spit. However some footballers seem to spit excessively which is rather gross.

 

[HavocXphere]

eww

 

[LazyLion]

disgusting habit.

 

[fishfly]

Imagine you spitting on a volleyball or squash court due to the atmosphere

 

[PeterCH]

Kind of gross to watch.

They chew tobacco while they play, like pirates.

 

[dbecks]

Towards prisoners?

Towards women
