Red card

A red card is used in many sports as a means of indicating that a player has received a certain level of punishment, typically that they have been sent off (expelled from the game).

Other sports

Other sports also use a red card to indicate a permanent expulsion from a game, including handball, rugby union, British rugby league and field hockey, as well as some but not all of the mixed martial arts. In the sport of fencing, a red card indicates a touch awarded to the offending fencer's opponent; the fencing equivalent to football's red card is the black card.
