After much debating on the weekend, the NFL went ahead and implemented their ‘Draconian’ taunting rule. Players will now be sanctioned if they appear to make aggressive taunts towards opponents while on the football field. There were multiple taunting calls that were made in Week 2.
Those calls were met with increased opposition from fans and critics alike across social media. But when someone like Tom Brady stands up and takes a stand, the league will be sure to take notice.
