BREAKING: Chiefs Owner Clark Hunt Slams NFL for Letting Jalen Carter Play After Spit-Gate
Kansas City, MO – The NFL’s decision to fine but not suspend Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter after his ejection for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has sparked outrage beyond Dallas. With a massive Week 2 Super Bowl rematch against Philadelphia looming, Kansas City Chiefs owner
"This isn’t just about Dallas. It’s about the message the NFL is sending to every team. Spitting on an opponent is a blatant act of disrespect, and to allow Carter to take the field against us this Sunday cheapens the integrity of the game,"
The NFL fined Carter $57,222 — his entire Week 1 paycheck — but cleared him to play in Sunday’s highly anticipated clash at Arrowhead Stadium. For Hunt, that punishment is hollow.
Hunt emphasized that the ruling fails to protect the league’s long-term credibility. “If the NFL wants to uphold its values, punishments must have teeth. A fine is not enough — it’s a slap on the wrist. Without suspensions, there’s no deterrent. What happens the next time a player crosses the line? The standard must be clear, or this cycle will repeat,”
To back his point, Hunt cited multiple precedents. In 2017, Marshawn Lynch was suspended one game for shoving an official. In 2020, Bears wideout Javon Wims received a two-game suspension for punching Saints DB C.J. Gardner-Johnson. In 2023, Steelers linebacker Mykal Walker sat a game for throwing a preseason punch.

Chiefs fans echoed his concerns online, with hashtags like #NFLBias and #MoneyOverIntegrity spreading quickly. Many noted the irony that a player ejected for spitting could line up against Patrick Mahomes and the defending champions in one of the most high-profile games of the season.
The timing only magnifies the controversy. Eagles–Chiefs is not just another game — it’s a rematch of Super Bowl LVII and a potential playoff preview. “Fans deserve a clean, fair game. Instead, they’ll see a player who should be suspended lining up against us in Week 2. That’s not the example the NFL should be setting,”
As kickoff approaches, the spotlight isn’t just on Mahomes versus Hurts. It’s also on whether the NFL’s disciplinary standards can still be trusted — or whether Carter’s case has exposed a system that punishes with fines but fails to deter.
