Does not matter why they happen. Still childish. It isn't a boxing match.
Contact sports should not involve being a fucking prick.
When I was a kid, I played pick up football on my playground on my street. I sucked but sometimes I got lucky. I finally beat this bully on a pass play, caught the ball and out ran him to the end zone. The asshole was pissed that I beat him, shoved me with one hand which propelled me onto the basketball court causing me to skid across it which tore up the skin on my hands and arms.
Our male species no matter the issue sucks at civil conflict resolution.
