NFL Fines Jalen Carter for Spitting on Dak Prescott

The NFL announced Thursday a fine against Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter following an incident in the game against the Dallas Cowboys, in which the player was caught spitting in the direction of quarterback Dak Prescott.

The incident occurred during the third quarter, following a play in which Prescott was sacked by the Philadelphia defense. Television cameras captured the moment, and the action immediately drew criticism on social media and among analysts.

According to the league's official report, Carter was fined for unsportsmanlike conduct, although he was not suspended. The amount of the fine was not publicly disclosed, but it is believed to be within the NFL's established scale for these types of incidents.

The Eagles have not issued an official statement on the situation, while Prescott avoided controversy after the game, simply saying that he was "focused on the team and winning games."

With this sanction, the league seeks to demonstrate its commitment to fair play and respect among players, in a context where unsportsmanlike behavior is increasingly being questioned by fans.
