Humanity Fuck Yeah!
HFY - Humanity Fuck Yeah! is a community for writers and artists to showcase their talent in the HFY genre and for people who enjoy them.
While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.
In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

Soccer includes accurate throwing from the goalie. I'd posit that hitting a projectile with a stick accurately is a close cousin of throwing.
That's all the big ones in US and EU that I can think of.
Baseball, basketball, soccer, football, cricket, rugby, hockey, what am I missing?
That’s just throwing with extra steps.
That's because we are too good at throwing balls with our hands. That's the exception that proves the rule.
Games have been lost for less.
hard disagree; "concept of throwing", imo, is accurately predicting some complicated physics and then making the split second adjustments to fling an object from your body elsewhere with enough force to be useful; that it's kicking rather than hand based doesn't seem relevant imo, it's still about accuracy and weird spin and dexterity.
Football hooliganism is also based around accurate throwing of objects.
Handball, for one.
Lacrosse, European Handball
Good catches. They both fall under throwing, too.
Ditto kicking.
Soccer is just throwing with your feet
