Unfortunately, spitting in public and on sports fields has become the the norm, very similar to swearing. Almost every footballer and rugby player of both codes, for some reason or other, constantly spit???? I'm clueless as to why??? Give him the benefit of the doubt but grade F, you're having a laugh. Rob Burrow assaulted Jake Connor with his head and got grade B, if that had happened on the street, he'd have faired a lot worse than if he'd spat at him

General spitting in the course of exercise is acceptable for me, I often have to spit when I'm running.
However, spitting in anger at someone is absolutely disgusting and I'm sure others have been punished so severely in the past.

I do it when I have to, and usually it's at the start of a run when I'm struggling to clear my throat despite drinking water. I ran a half marathon yesterday and didn't do it once so it's not a habit, however it is sometimes necessity.

Karen,the fact that you have said its usually at the start of a run is where it becomes your habit.Its something you have to control,that is if you want to. You dont see vocalists coming on stage to sing and have to clear their throat by spitting

Vocalists shouldn't be out of breath meaning they cannot swallow.
