@jsbarretto@social.coop Soccer = move ball to place to get point. Track/field = make human do thing to get point.
In baseball you score runs by making the human cross home plate. This can be done without ever putting the ball into play; you can score runs entirely by getting walked. Conversely, if you hit a home run but forget to touch home plate, you don’t score a run. Despite being a sport that uses a ball, the ball is totally irrelevant to scoring points; only the human can score a point.

@yiningkarlli@mastodon.gamedev.place @jsbarretto@social.coop I don’t think all soccer sports use balls, for example the javelin or discus
