    Technically (and subjectively for most people) they are. Golf, tennis, athletics, etc... plus the many limited-contact sports such as soccer, baseball, etc. etc.

    Last I checked volleyball and tennis are sports... And there's several very popular limited contact sports like baseball and basketball. And that's sticking to the technical definition of contact sports, when I think we're really talking about collision sports, which is what NFL is classified in...
