HFY - Humanity Fuck Yeah! is a community for writers and artists to showcase their talent in the HFY genre and for people who enjoy them.
While traditional science fiction often presents humans as vulnerable masses seeking refuge from menacing aliens or as feeble beings overshadowed by aliens with superior logic, strength or empathy. HFY disrupts these archetypes by challenging the norm.
In the world of HFY, humanity is bestowed with exceptional qualities, giving rise to a sense of optimism and empowerment within the reader. It seeks to uplift and inspire, demonstrating the potential of human greatness and the capacity for overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds.

Eh, I'm pretty American, but I think I started the post with this image of what a "soccer-like" game would look like if hands could be used and the ball size was a baseball (i.e., the size of a rock you'd throw at an animal to get it run as part of hunting), and then think of deviations/restrictions to that. Yeah, basketballs are perfect for dribbling, etc., but unwieldly for what I had in mind. As to football, you're right: it's good for passing. For some reason, my mental image had players with mitts on, which wouldn't work well with footballs.
Speedball 2 : Brutal Deluxe came to mind immediately.
