Whoa there. Are you saying that if a defender is just standing there and the offensive player throws the ball off the defender's leg it's a kick? If that's your "final answer", I beg to differ. The move must be intentional by rule. To be intentional, the player who gets hit must initiate the contact.

No, I'm not.
If the offensive player threw the ball at the defender's leg - that's still striking the leg, it's just not intentional, so it's not a kick per the rules on violations.
BTW, nobody better say anything bad about soccer!
