No, looking at the incident and the entire context I don't.
If Adam had "slammed" his head against the helmet several times with intent to hurt then I would consider it violent. Adam pushed Cooper's head down once, the helmet happened to be in the way. Anybody stating that he "slammed" his head into the helmet is simply wrong.
Do I condone the action, no. Do I understand a heat-of-the moment reaction, I sure do. Adam will get fined and the players will move on. Unfortunately, some of the fans on this board will keep harping about it until the end of time.
Football is a violent sport. This incident, while outside the rules of play, was not violent.
