Actually this was exactly the example I was going to go for but as the opposite proof.
For 95% of the game of American Football teams do not want the ball to touch the ground and they use their hands to carry or throw the ball towards pre-marked zones at each end of the field.
In the other 5% a specialized player enters the field to put the ball on the ground then send it through specially marked Vision Targets (also referred to as Uprights).
Each competitive teams needs one or two people who can perform the specialized action in order to win (in some games the majority of points comes from the specialized action).
The difference is in FIRST we move all the field goals to the end of the game and it's not an iconic standard thing that has been there since the beginning of time.
