What is a "yellow card"?
A yellow card is a warning given to a player for committing a foul or breaking the rules in sports like soccer or football. It is typically shown by the referee to signal that the player’s behavior was unsporting or violated the game’s rules, but it is not severe enough to warrant a more serious punishment. A player who receives a yellow card is usually allowed to stay in the game, but if they accumulate multiple yellow cards in a tournament or season, they may face further consequences, such as being suspended from future games.
