Rugby Union, Rugby League, both very physical sports, that involve "big hits", neither has the same fighting discussion/acceptance.
Lacrosse (although to be fair I am not familiar with the level of fighting in lacorsse), but that sport is also played with weapons (which you can use on the player) and it has boards.
Aussie Rules (while I am not a fan) there is a physical aspect to the game, again there are not the same fighing issues.
