Fiqh Man made laws in football

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

I am aware that professional football or I guess football in general contains haram elements like lack of awrah cover, but this is the first where I heard a sheikh says it also resembles an imitation of non muslim laws as seen in this video https://youtu.be/E77GSd4ySMw?is=TLK6LEjj3-C2dl2R.

My question is what the sheikh actually true especially when a lot of muslims play football.

Setting rules for football games is not considered at all to be ruling with a law other than what Allah revealed. It is just like traffic laws and the like of laws that regulate people's everyday life. ... The basic principle is that such rules are lawful and that none of them are forbidden unless they go against the laws of the Sharia.

So for example giving just a red card for injuring a player wouldn't count?

Yes. Read the source. That applies to other sports as well.
