re: Ejecting players that punch a player's helmet is a bad rule. Agree or Disagree?

my deal is that a lot of "punches" player get ejected for are more like gentle slaps to the helmet or pushes.

That's true, but the problem isn't the effect, it's the act itself.

I get that it is a violent game, but the idea behind that violence is to either separate another guy from the ball or reposition a guy (put him on the ground, move him out of the way, or away from the ball, etc)

Throwing blows doesn't fall into this category.
