Dave, I played football for 30 years. I was never blocked up by the sport and never had a need to run to the sidelines every minute to blow my nose.
Sorry, but as I have already said, spitting is mainly down to habit.
Speaking from personal experience, vigorous sport never blocked me up.

You may be an exception to the rule Max. I have played badmington, squash, tug of war and never spat. However when playing rugby and football at times, and admit it wasn't all the time, spat to clear my nose..........or one what annoys me now but I used to do was to just press in my nostril and blow it straight to the pitch. Now that looks even more disgusting, but it was a necessity I used to do

C'mon Dave, are you seriously trying to say that in football and rugby, continuous energy is expended? The only place you will see all 20 outfield players continuously chasing the ball is at under 10 level.
There are numerous natural breaks during the game: every time the ball goes out of play, every time a goal is scored, when substitutions are made, when players are spoken to and/or booked. Even during play, not every player is running at the same time, let alone continuously. Then of course there is 15 minutes half time, when players can have a cup of tea, a shit and a massage!
You are right that they can not be compared though....there is no comparison between the energy expended by the likes of Djokovic and Nadal during a 6 hour match and a footballer during a 90 minute match.

Not at all Max. What I am saying is that after every 5 minutes, footballers or rugby players do not go sit on a seat, towel down, blow thier nose, take on water, go to the toilet etc etc etc
Vigourous sport does block you up. In some sports they are able to do it more discretely.......or at least should. In footbal or rugby the breaks are limited and I wouldn't think the ref would allow the players to run to the sideline and blow their nose every other minute.
Studies show on average that a footballer runs 8-10 miles a match...............and guess what, so does the average tennis player. So the difference between them is that one has a seat and more breaks and one doesn't.

I have been suffering a bad cold this week, yesterday I played badminton for an hour, and again today for an hour, only one hour of vigorous exercise I agree. Those two hour's have been the only time I have been able to breath freely all week. vigorous exercise has the opposite effect on me dunno

the other totaly disgusting unnecessary filth is when a footballer puts a fingers over one nostril, and then blows the snot out of the other nostril.
still make excuses for them and there " vigorous sport ".

So easy stated vigorous outdoor activities and you posted up golf rolleyes

mr notts at leest pay some attention to what has been writen. :doh:
I have copied Easys post below and highlighted the bit you missed.
Quote by easyrider_xxx
I agree, spitting gratuitously in the street is churlish and loutish in the extreme and is not something that we should have to tolerate on the high street.
When playing sports however, one gets a build up of excess phlegm which blocks the nasal passages and impedes the airflow. It is normal to want to expectorate this excess, though I agree, footballers in particular do it in a gratuitous yobbish manner.
Most people decrying it as disgusting, foul etc, rarely move off their couches and thus have no knowledge of what it is like to pursue vigorous outdoor activites.

thanks mr notts. i never missed it at all. i decided to ignore that bit as frankly i look on that as an excuse when players spit every five seconds. i shall once again refere you to the five hour plus tennis match. that is a darn sight more vigorous than playing football for thirty minutes. the other 60 minutes the ball is not even in play.

Did you also ignore the bits:
a) they stop every two games for a break
b) have access to towels and handkerchiefs/tissues
c) run exactly the same distance over a match as a footballer but over a longer time
d) toilet breaks
Both sets of athletes do vigorous sport but the rules are totally different

no did not ignore them mr notts just think a bit of a weak excuse for there spitting antics.
can you back up C with any facts on that mr notts?
did they run the same as a footballer does in this match mr notts?

11 hours mr notts that match took, and for the record not a spit in sight. in fact not a toilet break ether as i recall. the two game rule applied here but there were some games that lasted over 20 minutes and still not a spit in sight.
still two long games at very high tempo in the heat of centre court is not enough to call it vigorous activity i suppose rolleyes
maybe as footballers are over worked through there vigorous activities on the pitch, maybe the FA should supply them with nice folded hankies :rotflmao::rotflmao:

Well from these replies I can see that no-one was a runner. When distance running you get a build up of phlegm and the choices are spit or swallow.
Swallowing has the problem that you are breathing hard and it is very likely that phlegm droplets travel in to your airway causing at minimum a cough and at most an airway contraction which could lead to death through asphyxiation.
So hence the reason to spit. It is quite nasty...especially if the wind is in the wrong direction.

I have done quite a bit of running in my time, did the Great North Run 4 times in the 80's and still never found it necessary to spit.

As for the 11 hour marathon match, it is the longest ever game and not an average. Some matches are less than an hour and others are longer. Add them together, like the study, and an average is worked out that they run 8-10 miles.........exactly the same as a footballer. Oh, and the match was split over two days, so they went to bed and slept............even though some footballers look like that on the pitch (asleep) they do not go to bed during a match.

it is immaterial mr notts that it is not the average, that is not the point as well you know.
the point is also not about how many days or weeks it went into, the point is that in all that time not a single player spat. footballers do it out of habit. a substitute for aston villa came on with 93 minutes on the clock last weekend, 30 seconds later the whistle blows. i think that player ran about 50 yards and was still spitting. poor old Gary Gardener must have been worn out. lol
are you telling me that a goalkeeper runs 8-10 miles in a game? rotflmao
nowhere near that and comparing a tennis player who runs around for two games lasting on average ten minutes and still not spit, where as a goalkeeper runs about for about 2 minute spurts and spits as much as a winger does. can you answer why that may be mr notts?
i think it was wolves goalkeeper about 3 weeks ago spitting every time he picked the ball up. his player only kicked the ball back to him from about 20 yards away, that must have been very hard work for the goalkeeper. so goalkeepers must run about one mile in a game lasting 90 minutes, with a break at half time yet they still spit.
some goalkeepers do such little work in a game they could do with a chair to sit down on :thumbup: yet still feel the need to gob.

next time the GNR is on TV or any of the track events at the Olympics, see how many of the top class athletes are constantly spitting. By what you're saying they should all be gobbing all over the place. I think you will find otherwise.

max, I've ran the gnr and seen the spitting admittedly, its not everyone and its probably not the majority but the fact is runner's spit and there is a reason they Do as I stated previous. BTW I don't spit when I run, cycle or mountain climb unless I get an insect in my mouth.

So neither you nor I find the need to spit. Are we any different to other runners, cyclists etc? I still stand by my assertion that spitting is more down to habit than necessity.

It has been mentioned that there is another option - to swallow.
The fact is not going to go away - spitting is a vile, disgusting, unacceptable and dangerous (infectious) action. There is an alternative, it should be used - if swallowing while running is going to cause a problem - stop for a few seconds. For goodness' sake, unless you are running away from a charging rhino what's the problem? If it a short race you can wait, if it's longer a couple of seconds pause won't change anything and if it isn't a race with actual prizes - who cares? Whatever - don't spit.
