FSU football watched as the Wolfpack’s Bradley Chubb spit on the midfield logo after Saturday’s win – and one writer actually defended the move.
In the moments that followed N.C. State’s upset win last weekend over FSU football, those who had traveled from Raleigh got a chance to watch their team celebrate a hard fought win. They also got a chance to watch one of their best players, defensive end Bradley Chubb, act like he hadn’t done anything in his life and spit on the Chief Osceola logo in the middle of the field.
Hours later, the team posted on their Twitter account that Chubb apologized for his actions he that he had the “upmost respect for Coach Fisher and Florida State.” This post isn’t going to be about condemning Chubb because I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt that they apology was sincere and because he was a dominant force in the Wolfpack’s win.
No, this is about the comments from a blogger who covers the Wolfpack for a site called Backing the Pack. You see, while Chubb showed some class when he apologized, Steven Muma showed none in writing his piece entitled “If Bradley Chubb wants to spit on his own property, he can do that“:
"“Since he now owns Tallahassee, I do not see why spitting on the field is a problem.Bradley Chubb can do whatever he wants with his own property. Spit on it, rake it, cultivate it and prepare for the coming winter. Whatever. I’m not sure why we’re supposed to be bothered by a man expectorating into his own lawn.This has made FSU fans extremely upset, though, so that’s neat. I still don’t see how they can fairly judge a man for hocking a loogie on his property, it’s a weird quibble to me…”"
While some in the comments section took exception to this and said that if the roles were reversed that Wolfpack fans would be grabbing their tiki torches and look for a fight, most were in agreement that there is nothing wrong with what took place.
I guess we can’t be too mad about it – after all, this was probably the Super Bowl for a team that is maybe the third most important college team right now in the state. When you’re a program with no national titles and seven ACC crowns since being a part of the inaugural group to found the league in 1953 (with the last title won in 1979), you don’t have much to brag about.

So, congrats to the players and coaches for N.C. State – you were clearly the better team over FSU football this past weekend. Here’s hoping you finish with a 7-5 record and another trip to the Independence Bowl so your fan base will again be reminded how you aren’t a real football program.
