Crackdown on taunting is working the way the NFL intended
(AP Photo/Charlie Riedel) (Charlie Riedel)The NFL’s crackdown on unsportsmanlike penalties is working the way the league intended. These are game-changing penalties for a selfish act.”Week 6 kicked off with a taunting penalty occurring in an important moment during a prime-time game, adding to the widespread scrutiny over the rule. Avery’s transgression seemed mild, so the NFL drew even more criticism for making taunting calls a point of emphasis this season. It leads to bad outcomes like players spitting at each other’s face, players throwing punches and fighting, players kicking and stomping one other. You can have fun, but you cannot get in another player’s face.
