Not only does Stephen A. Smith think Cincinnati Bengals WR Ja’Marr Chase deserves a suspension, he thinks the punishment should be harsher than just sitting out Sunday’s Week 12 game. Smith thinks it should be a multi-game penalty.
“It should be an automatic two-game suspension,” Smith said on ESPN’s First Take. “Automatic one is for the spitting. Another is for telling a bold face lie because he was lying. It’s clear as day.”
Chase was not flagged or ejected after spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers FS Jalen Ramsey in the fourth quarter of yesterday’s game. Only Ramsey, who responded with a punch, was punished with an ejection.
