What is Unsportsmanlike conduct?
'''Unsportsmanlike conduct''' (or '''unsporting behaviour''', or '''ungentlemanly conduct''') describes a kind of action by professional [[sportspeople]]. It is when a player or team acts during the game in a way that is not professional or is offensive. It is different to [[cheating]] or breaking the rules.<ref>{{cite web|title=NFL Official Signals|url=http://www.nfl.com/rulebook/signals/26|access-date=22 September 2010|work=National Football League}}</ref> Unsportsmanlike conduct is something most players and fans dislike. The official rules of many sports include a rule so that a [[referee]] can call unsportsmanlike conduct on a team or player. There may be a fine or penalty.<ref>{{Cite web|title=NFL Football Operations {{!}} NFL Football Operations|url=https://operations.nfl.com/|access-date=2023-04-15|website=operations.nfl.com}}</ref> == References == <references /> {{sport-stub}} [[Category:Sports]]
