The taunting rule is just another rule that has a lot of gray area that allows the refs to control the game. There is a fine line between taunting and trash talking and I don't trust these refs to make that judgment. Its a violent, emotional game and now it can cost a team a game because a ref decides something a player says in an emotional moment is taunting in his opinion.
This. I could care less if they are allowed to taunt or not. I'm tired of judgment calls that allow refs/The League to control games and this one has the ability to turn ridiculous real fast.
