It is a sad thing to watch when trained, disciplined athletes lose their tempers and behave like petty thugs. Fights like these, in which weapons (helmets, crutches, cleats, etc.) are used against another person should be considered criminal. The law should not end outside the main gate to a football field. Assault charges should be filed on many of these players. If there is any uncertainty as to who should be penalized and to what degree, use the instant replay. Dozens of HD cameras, better than any old convenience store security feed, can help.
A slap on the wirst will not do. If this behavior is not nipped in the bud, the next such fight may have more regrettable results.
