New York Giants co-owner John Mara explained to reporters on Tuesday why the NFL has decided to become stricter about penalizing taunting among players heading into the 2021 season. 

“That’s something we discuss every year in the Competition Committee. We get kind of sick and tired of the talking that does go on from time to time on the field,” Mara, member of the NFL’s Competition Committee, said. “We tried to balance the sportsmanship with allowing the players to have fun and there’s always a fine line there, but none of us like to see that.”
