Well, football is a team game. And "good" teammates stick together. If you hit this person, then someone else joins in, and then another joins in. Kind of like how the WWI was like.
Being such an emotional sport, one person is bound to lose it eventually and take something personal. It happens in every team sport. There have been incidents in each one of them, too.
Hell, I bet if someone on your [soccer] team gets punched or something, someone on your team would come to his rescue and get his hands dirty. I know this has happened many times in my hockey games.
