Fans In London Throw Trash On Field In Protest Of Terrible Taunting Rule During Jags-Dolphins Game

Even NFL fans in London cannot stand the taunting penalties.

In the fourth quarter of the game between the Dolphins and Jaguars — Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe had just caught a pass and ran for 18 yards when he got blasted by Rayshawn Jenkins.

Don't know if there were any words exchanged (which would draw a flag) but that's really not taunting. Yeah, there is a zero-tolerance emphasis, which is warranted, but in this case (unless something was something verbal) it would have been best to hold the flag pic.twitter.com/lWH00T1DIr

Instead of getting ready for the next play, Jenkins stood over Smythe and did the Allen Iverson step-over, which got him flagged for taunting.

The fans in London hated it and started throwing trash on the field:
