In the XFL the players are allowed to express themselves without worrying about a fine or such. New York Guardians safety Dravon Askew-Henry did exactly that. Askew was upset with a holding call and was even more upset when the flag landed right in his lap.

Askew then through the flag right back at the official which resulted in an another 5-yard penalty. Askew then came over to the sideline where in an interview he explained how his emotions got the best of him.
It is nice that the XFL is allowing the players to express themselves without having to worry about serious consequences from the league.
