Cowboy fan here -- surprised the flag was picked up, and don't necessarily agree with it. But then, I don't know the exact wording of the NFL DPI rules nor do I know what their philosophies are.
On the Dez thing, that would get an immediate flag in college, but again, NFL has a different set of guidelines. One thing to keep in mind about the NFL is that they will fine a player regardless of whether he's flagged. College and high school officials don't have that backing them up so it isn't like totally bad behavior is going to be ignored in the NFL.
