I'll say it again.

If they called all of the other rules for as marginal a shite as they called that for "taunting", there would be 50 holding calls per game and damned near half the incomplete passes ever thrown would end with pass interference calls.

And God help offenses is the refs ever start calling "pushing off" as tightly as they called this one.

That's the point. About 75% of all plays ever run in football would end in a penalty if the refs called ANYTHING they could fit into the letter of the law. The game would drive you nuts!!!

He looked right at the opponent and opened his arms out.

I for one think all referees suck, but it's pretty easy to determine that if even the simplest of gesture towards an opponent constitutes a taunt, then that is what it is.

If 100 other acts go uncalled then it is what it is, but that doesn't take away the fact that this was a taunt as well.
