Not so much defending taunting, per se.


As long as I can remember, taunting was covered under the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties (see Telvin Smith in playoffs vs Steelers 2017 season).

But with an emphasis on it, officials are now actively looking for it, which will lead to more penalties called whether truly warranted or not.  The flow of the games will be disrupted even more than it is now.  There will be more 8nstances of officials determining the outcomes of games, and more suspicions of referee and league bias, as evidenced by this past Bears Steelers matchup.

Ok, but if they are penalizing then why must they keep doing it? What is so important about being able to taunt that it warrants a defense? As someone else said, there's a pretty easy way to not get a taunting penalty, why do it?
