The NFL is preparing to institute what amounts to a yellow card rule, whereby officials can eject players for committing multiple unsportsmanlike conduct fouls.
Playfully naming it "The Odell Beckham Rule" after the Giants receiver unraveled against the Panthers and Josh Norman in 2015 season.
"Days before Super Bowl 50, commissioner Roger Goodell suggested that players committing two personal fouls in a game be subject to automatic ejection. And now it has become a reality.
The NFL Competition Committee has adopted the rule change for the 2016 season. Specifically. Saying quote. "players penalized twice in one game for certain types of unsportsmanlike conduct fouls" will be disqualified. Because this is the first time for the rule, it will be more of a trial run for the 2016 season.
