Enforcing taunting rules
The NFL's annual rule change and points of emphasis video notes game officials have been instructed to strictly enforce taunting rules in 2021. Two violations results in automatic ejection, with fines and even suspensions (!!) in play, too.https://t.co/aMafmvxwxt

Yes, this will come back late in a game to bite teams in the ass. You know it will. A team that should win will lose because of some bogus taunting call. Why does the NFL insist on being such assholes when it comes to this stuff? They are catering to the older fans that get their panties in a bunch watching a different generation get in each other's faces. Who gives a shit?
Same.
I thought this was going to be a board related thread...
They want to be the boss of certain things and ignore others.

You have to think that Jefferson's griddy vs Tennessee from like the 20 yard line and in would be a penalty this year.

Yeah right. That is going to be automatically exempt because it's Green Bay.
call me old fashioned, but I can live without all the after the play shit. once the whistle blows reset the play clock and get it going if they cant get back into the players boxes on time then its a penalty. after scoring, hand the ball to the nearest official and get on with the game, throwing the ball into the stands or whatever should be a delay of game penatly IMO. I do like when players hand the ball to special people ( moms, handicap kids, etc ) after scoring and would like to see that continue. there is only 11 minutes on average of actual football played in a 60 minute game that takes about 200 minutes to complete, I know this new enforcement isnt about speeding up the game, but between the stupid scripted cheesing for the camera, the unsportsmanlike shit, and the over 100 commercials per televised game... they could clean it up some.

Wait, I waste every fall Sunday afternoon for 11 freaking minutes? Then I waste countless hours a year on this site?? We better win a damn trophy in my lifetime.

That isn't taunting, that is celebration. Doing the peace sign to someone is taunting. Dancing in the endzone is not

what if you do the opposing players celebration dance... is that taunting? ;)

Didn't realize there were many Baptist players.
I love to see passion in sports, I love bat flips in baseball and I love it when NFL players demonstrate their fire and passion for the game. I do not like it when the entire defense runs 80 yards to get in front of a camera and flex, but I like the real, instantaneous celebrations that are comprised of raw emotion. It makes the games fun.

so.......the NFL sets up these “celebration” cameras, in the end zone, so players can flock in front of it.....orchestrate, pose, mug, flex, and scoot their asses to release their anal glands..
but thats NOT taunting?
This is an example of the taunting the league doesn't want to see in games. Just happened in the #Panthers-#Colts game.https://t.co/Tu70GjBxwU

They threw the flag on the RB? He didn't do anything except flip the ball to the ref.
