I wasn't gonna get involved in this, but I have to now, I do not follow soccer, but based on your logic PK, games like Basketball, where if you touch their arm, you are in the wrong and all action stops so they can rest, and games like baseball, where no one really does any actual physical activity would be consider non-sports in your eyes.
Be careful, some close minded American may catch on to that...then you might be in big trouble. They may put on 40lbs of pads and then run into you...
