The NFL is doubling down on its commitment to penalize taunting this season.
According to ESPN's Kevin Seifert, the league sent a memo to teams this week reaffirming its commitment to throwing flags for disrespectful behavior.
The league included a video displaying examples of proper player celebrations, with NFL senior vice president of officiating training and development Walt Anderson clarifying that the league wants to "discourage acts of taunting or disrespect."
Anderson also provided some advice to the players:
"Avoid any actions where you approach an opponent or his bench and gesture, posture or otherwise demonstrate any verbal or physical form of disrespect.
