Notes -
Like... literally brawling? I would say sports would have to take the cake, with the city of Philadelphia holding the crown for most unhinged sports fans.
Heated verbal arguments? I would say politics, but you disqualified it. Even local (city) and hyper-local (neighborhood / HOA) disagreements fall under politics imo... So that leaves anything to do with work or family: coworker or boss mistreating you, or cheating and dishonesty.
Good-natured disagreements? Definitely food, or other regional cultural rituals. It's almost like regional culture is advanced during the small wins and losses during those disagreements, "No, we're going to do things this way." Then suddenly 200 years later your county is known worldwide for having high quality whiskey.
