It's not a Yellow Card.

Gracious Professionalism is something that you measure yourself by, not others.

Defense, by it's very nature, is attempting to keep a team from performing at their best. Penalty points and types (regular/technical) are there to have the game play in a specific manner. This strategy is just a strategic implementation of defense and a decision whether or not a penalty is worth taking.

Personally, in most cases, I don't believe this is a worthwhile strategy ... but it is something to be aware of.
