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.

the goalie throwing the ball is an afterthought.

Games have been lost for less.

That’s because we are too good at throwing balls with our hands. That’s the exception that proves the rule.

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.

Good catches. They both fall under throwing, too.
