It is funny - this was a point of emphasis in MLS a few years ago where even the lightest brushes of the head were sometimes being sent off (I think the Diego Chara earlobe flick year) --- though many that year even were being let go, but most plays where there were hands, arms and definitely elbows that played head or neck were red card…
