Joe Burrow, a quarterback in the NFL, expresses his support for taunting in the league, stating that players should be allowed to celebrate and show their skills without penalties.
The NFL has earned the 'No Fun League' nickname for good reason. Up until recently, team celebrations were hardly allowed, if at all The rules have been more lenient for players celebrating touchdowns. However, 'taunting' still draws a 15-yard penalty.
By definition, a taunt is 'a remark made in order to anger, wound, or provoke someone.' In the NFL, it's often used to celebrate a play but typically to brag to an opponent. Rules state it should result in a flag, but Joe Burrow wants a change. 'Yeah, I'm pro-taunting,' Burrow said ealier this week. 'We're all grown adults that work really hard at what we do. And sometimes we'd like to show it.
Flowers and Lamar Jackson connected on a 54-yard play toward the end of the third quarter. But, after he was tackled to end the 54-yard pass and catch, Flowers pushed L'Jarius Sneed to the ground and spun the football near his face. The referees called a penalty on Flowers for taunting. It was a pivotal 15-yard penalty that pushed the Ravens backward. Flowers later kept the drive alive with a clutch first down.
The Chiefs recovered the fumble in the end zone. It was the Ravens’ second turnover of the game. The Chiefs won the game and, eventually, the Super Bowl. There were 43 taunting penalties called in 2021, but 19 and 15 the last two seasons, respectively. Fox News' Ryan Gaydos contributed to this report.
