Actually, fighting at any level in Europe, and other than at the professional level in North America, gets you thrown out of the game, and suspended for the next one.

In high school, in some associations, it gets you suspended for the rest of the year.

In the NCAA you get suspended for the remainder of the season after the second fight.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
