The XFL has a lot of different rules than the NFL but even this new league is against players throwing punches at each other.
Tampa Bay Vipers defensive tackle Ricky Walker learned that on Sunday during his team’s game against the New York Guardians at MetLife Stadium. Walker made some XFL history when he was ejected for throwing a punch at Guardians center Ian Silberman in the final few minutes before halftime.
The Virginia Tech product immediately made his way off the field as the crowd at MetLife let him have it.
Here’s his historic moment that will live on forever in XFL lore:

Yup, can’t do that. Not even in the the XFL, unfortunately.
