I would like to say that logic dictates that in this day and age, especially in this socially charged climate - that this seems unlikely. I would imagine that App State's own teammates would've said something, not to mention the referees. I really hope this kind of idiocy didn't happen.

You appear to be assisting in click bait.

Racial charged statement only incited violence from one player, seems odd. Defensive lineman (goes by Angry Bird) also played at North Texas last year, wonder if he's tired of getting whipped by an undersized walk-on.

App State is... In a polite way to say this.... New Wave, liberal, progressive, in front of societal issues... Athletic teams have lead the charge on social statements in the last few years.

Saying that, it's highly unlikely the members of the football team would remain silent if Spurlin used a racial slur. I was at the game. He definitely called the USA player a B I T CH. Could tell that from my seat. Shot the player a bird - middle finger - and called him a ***** again.


If he used a racial slur I suspect he'll be done. Finished at App. The racially/socially aware students and teammates would not put up with it. If that happened, him being off the team is best.

If it didn't happen, I home Womack and the USA player eat a bag of di cks.

as has been mentioned several times, none of hte App players or USA players other than the boxer reacted to what Spurlin said, which to me indicates normal trash talk. Of course, Racially charged language could mean almost anything since its completely ambiguous to begin with.

Also accused the App St player of spitting in his face, that would result in a reaction of only the receiver of the spit.

Did Spurlin purposefully say something to piss off Gray? Obviously (hence flagrant personal foul for taunting/inciting/whatever that rule is, resulting in ejection). Spit on and used racially charged language? Highly doubt it, but he’s not playing another down if true.

And for the record, spitting on someone in NC is considered assault at the moment due to COVID. I hope they have already reported this to local authorities for them to handle.

Larry David would have to had written this football season and included a magic loogie for that to happen. Again, saw the bird. The "B IT CH" being yelled. Saw zero evidence of the loogie. Saw the reaffirmation of Spurlin call him a "B iT CH". Then punches.

Dude is from Galax.

We had a North Texas player spit on one of our players a few years back. They were up 28-0 in the second quarter. There was a scrum then we beat them 34-31

No I don't do that. I just wanted to hear the other side of the story. If this were a story about Louisiana, I guarantee someone would ask about it.

For the spitting hard to say it didn't happen

“... We had a number of players who confirmed that it was a situation where he did spit in Anterrious’ face. And that was also confirmed by one of their officials, not exactly sure which one.”

Again, If Spurlin did spit on him. I hope he has to sit... For a while. Maybe for the rest of the season.

If Spurlin used racially charged language... Might as well hang up that App jersey because you don't belong at App.

If neither happened, I hope KW and the USA player **** off.

Spurlin is the only white guy in his position group at App. He's been there for six years now. Odd time for his racist side to come out, don't you think? He's been voted as a Team Captain by his teammates, who again are more than 50% black I believe.

The refs said he was ejected because he threw a punch, which he obviously didn't. So whatever. This **** is going to take on a life of its own, as false as it most likely is.

Being at the game it was unclear from the stands as to what happened, all you could see is the South Alabama throwing punches and landing them on our player while our guy just stood there. I then watched it over and over on TV and you cannot see spitting. I know Caleb's Aunt and she said he definitely did not spit. Words were exchanged but no one seems to know what was said. If racial words were used, I'd imagine more players would have been involved. My guess is that the two were chippy and back and forth all game and the South guy was tired of being pushed around, he was called a B**ch and maybe was shot the bird and that set him off. From Caleb's reaction he had no idea why he was being ejected, if he had spit or used racial language I think his reaction would have been different.

Well, Caleb certainly gave him the bird before the punches. And from memory it wasn't the first time that day Caleb flipped him off. Second, it is being said that Caleb was confused and asked a few teammates why the hell he was ejected. Those teammates talked to media members since then.

When I went to the ECU @ USF game in Tampa couple years ago, I met a former ECU OL that told me in the bowl game vs Stanford, he pancaked a guy and unloaded 2 snot rockets in the guy's face when they were on the ground. He then called him a little *****.

Nobody complained. This generation sucks. Man up.

(The game is available on Youtube... I found the play in question.)

He deserved his ass kicked and to be publicly shamed. Using someone's race as an insult indicates a piece of ****.

"Wommack said during his Monday press conference that he was told by multiple Jaguars players that Spurlin — who is white — used racially charged language in Gray’s direction in addition to spitting in his face"

"ESPN+ broadcast footage of the incident is inconclusive as to whether or not Spurlin spit on Gray, and no words between the two were audible on camera."


I can't imagine the South player would randomly just start swinging the way he did so I imagine Spurlin did say or do something that provoked him. To the extent of what it was, we won't be able to actually know since it's their words vs his. Probably best everyone just let's it go since there is no way to prove one way or the other.

+1 there's nothing to "man up" about this, except for the guy that actually did this. One can play a football game without having to resort to that kind of crap

I watched the replay yesterday. Gray went after Spurlin very quickly and the other USA players held him back in the moment. As soon as Gray started to head away from the scene RT Antawn Lewis went to a referee, started speaking and pointed at Spurlin. so there is the reaction of the other USA players.
