When I played football in high school - I think face masks had just been invented 😄 - we had to practice in the gym one day. Our starting left tackle made a snotty remark about the girl friend of our captain and star running back. Suddenly the tackle was lifted off his feet and slammed against a wall until he apologized to the captain (and his girlfriend).

No coach intervened; nobody on the team was stupid enough to attempt to. Matter settled, no disciplinary action, and as I remember it we won the next game.

Were it that we had such civilized fights these days.
