The NFL’s crackdown on unsportsmanlike penalties is working the way the league intended.
Avery’s transgression seemed mild, so the NFL drew even more criticism for making taunting calls a point of emphasis this season.
“The coaches felt over the last few years it had gotten out of control. We cannot move away from sportsmanship being the core of our game,” said Vincent, a six-time Pro Bowl cornerback who now serves as the league’s executive vice president of football operations. “Sportsmanship has always been the core. The rules are very clear. Don’t do it toward the opponent’s sideline or at the opponent. That doesn’t mean you can’t celebrate, you can’t have fun, you can’t have spontaneous actions.
Fournette knew he couldn’t retaliate against Avery because officials are looking for unsportsmanlike behavior more than ever.
