Fangio is right when he says that the WR group is a bunch of prima donnas. There's a rumor that the fight between Sanders and Sutton happened after a false start by Bolles and that Sanders was Teeing off on Bolles (rightly so, as vets have to set the tone) and Sutton was defending Bolles, which upset Sanders.
I'm don't know if that's what happened or not, but one thing that Fangio has been working on all TC is eliminating penalties. He can yell at the players all he wants but when another player calls you out, it's a different story, especially if that player is a vet with a lot of experience. In fact, IIRC, Fangio said that the veterans are the ones who will have to instill discipline and the vets have to step up and be leaders. It looks like Sanders is doing his part.
Another player (I think it was Chubb) was interviewed about the fighting and he made a simple point, he asked the reporter if he had any brothers (as in biological siblings). Point being, brothers fight on occasion and any guy who has grown up with brothers knows what he's talking about.
