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.
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.

You’re literally punished for hitting the ball with your hand in football. Have to agree with you here, bar the terminology.
That’s because we are too good at throwing balls with our hands. That’s the exception that proves the rule.

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
