calling bragging on the field to pump up your team / teammates "unsportsmanlike" is 100% white non-athletes tone policing black athletes & I will not discuss it further than that
I am for any and all taunting except for the stand over/flex while a guy is down on the ground. Just something inherently threatening about it or something, I don't know I can't explain it. But I would like more Deion Sanders-style pointing and high stepping and mocking as they run by style taunts. That shit is fun as hell.
I agree that taunting is a dumb penalty since these are pro athletes being paid millions but you should also not taunt when your offense has been complete ass all day and down 10 lol
That is not what tone policing is. It's also not pumping up your team to push someone down and stand over him.
Players intimidate each other. This is not new in physical sports. If you're doing that to an injured player that's fucked up but Sneed was fine, Flowers probably got sick of Sneed talkin shit to him all night.
