Next, personal foul for sneering at the opposition.
Then, penalty for certain words discerned by reading their lips.

What else would we expect from the Pretty-in-pink NFL?
You beat me to it, that’s exactly what I was thinking, that sneering would be next.
As far as the rule changes go, I HATE!!!! the BS about “crossing the plane of the end zone”, I’ve seen way too many of the TD’s called because some guy runs OOB on the six inch line but holds the ball over the pylon... how in hell is that a TD? All it proves is he’s got arms like a bigfoot.
I actually like the change where in OT, if one team scores on the first possession, the other team actually gets a chance. Previously, all a team had to do was come out, rack up 25 or 30 yards, and kick a field goal.
The business about bad hits and personal fouls, they are calling that one too much.
And holding. I never understood holding. Saw interviews with defensive players and offensive guys and they say “There is holding on EVERY PLAY. Period.” so it’s kind of subjective about whether it gets called or not.
