Almost everything in a soccer game is sponsored, isn't it? The ball? The uniforms? The field? Nothing in an LP is sponsored.
Also, when you play a game, you see stuff happen on a screen. When you watch an LP, you also see stuff happen on a screen. The only difference is that someone else is playing it.
However, when you watch a soccer game, you're watching multiple people play it. From a completely different point of view.
Now, if you were watching from a player's point of view, and the broadcasters gave you a ball and a uniform of the same brand, then maybe soccer games wouldn't be allowed to be broadcasted for profit. Because then the only difference would also be that you're not playing.
But that's not how it is. So I think it's a bad comparison.
