Spitting

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/fa_cup/7950287.stm
A recent incident between Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas and Hull City assistant manager Brian Horton has led to another focus on the disgusting act of spitting. It is worth noting that so far, Fabregas has not been found guilty and no proof has been found that the accusation that he spat at Horton is true.

But it is undeniable that spitting is one of the most disgusting things that someone can do to a fellow human being. Many people have the view that they would rather be punched than spat on as to be spat at is seen as a very degrading and sick action to be subjected to.

If Fabregas is found guilty, it would be disgraceful that such a talented young man with such an incredibly high profile would do this. It would not be the first time a professional footballer has been caught doing this and it is shocking that someone who is a role model to many fans, particularly youngsters, would commit such a shameful act. This is certainly not the sort of behaviour we want our children to be replicating and people who spit should think twice before committing such a shameful action.

It is meant in no other way but to cause offence in a non-physical, cowardly manner and while I hope Fabregas is innocent, if it turns out otherwise then the authorities should take tough action to punish him and prevent this being repeated.
