I'm not so sure that's why you thought you did...because I know I didn't have the same thought as you. I think you were probably thinking as a parent, as you initially stated.

After a quick search, I now remember reading this thread in the basketball forum. Fight scenario

Is it no longer correct to eject players leaving the bench that do not participate?

Edit: Never mind, you snuck a reply in on me while I was still writing mine.

Sorry for discussing basketball and football here, but I think it is worth exploring to see if the Fed has similar thinking in similar situations in other sports.

In general, trying to compare sports is a mistake. Remember that "FED" is a committee of committees. There is no expectation of consistency across every sport, except at the most abstract level (every sport emphasizes "safety," for example, but that means something very different in volleyball and football).

The rules committees for different sports do not get together and consult about whether everyone who leaves the bench during a fight is ejected.
