Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter was ejected from the NFL season opener game against Dallas Cowboys. After the opening kickoff, officials said Carter was thrown out for unsportsmanlike behavior.
Game footage shows Carter appearing to spit on Dak Prescott.
While Eagles have to live with this blow to their defense, fans have mocked Carter's spit row with 'Hawk Tuah' memes. Haliey Welch, from Nashville, Tennessee, had gone viral for her 'hawk tuah spit on that thang' line.
One fan remarked "He said Hawk Tuah lol." Another said "Worst part of the Jalen Carter spit situation is it resuscitated hawk tuah memes from unfunny people."
Another said "Hawk tuah Jalen Carter, Go Cowboys!". Jason Kelce, former Eagles player and brother of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis, also seemingly reacted to the incident asking what just happened.
