Team A punches Team A

Team A with the ball... 1-10 @ own 30yd. After a 2 yard game, A40 punches his own player A38. Flag? Ejection? Is the penalty enforced from the end of the run (dead ball spot?)

No foul.  You can fight teammates all day.  The rules state you can't fight the opponent.

Depending on the specific context, I could see throwing a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct.  Particularly if the coach doesn't take care of it, and he was warned after the first time, and chose to do it again.

Tell the coach. That’s it. Team problem, not yours.

Stay away from that altogether. That is a team internal issue. We are not involved, period.

Or bring the captains out and tell them to handle the problem.  First step before the coach unless the captains are not effective.

Why? The other team doesn’t give a crap about any discord within their opponents. We don’t either. Stay out of that. Let them handle that among themselves. We have NO duty or responsibility with this, whatsoever.
