“Supposed to” is key, here. Changing rules will not change the way players play the game.
This week, NFL owners approved a rule that would eject a player who gets called twice in one game for unsportsmanlike conduct. It is just an experiment for the 2016 season and their plan is to re-evaluate it before making it a permanent rule.
