goalies can. mids can. some sports just dont require hands. some people arent a coordinated as others.

In Africa, hand sports are considered girly sports. There I said it.

using feet is way better!!!!!there are so many americano sports u can ask a similar question to that like: why do u use sticks in hockey?y do u use hands in americano football?y do u use a bat in baseball?y do u use hands in basketball?

 

[Aric R]

what does having to pick up the ball have to do with being a sport? you dont pick up the puck in hockey.

 

[Jocccky]

Ask yourself these questions:
Is athletics a sport? (100m, high jump etc)
Is horse racing a sport? (sport of kings)
Is gymnastics a sport?
Is hockey or ice hockey a sport?
The list goes on........
You do not pick up a ball in any of these sports either
