pretty much all of our sports

The rest of the post is great, but this is simply not true

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?

The post says “based around the concept of throwing”, including soccer in that list is a stretch - soccer is entirely based on our great control over our legs and feet, the goalie throwing the ball is an afterthought.
