I doubt if most of the people who end up using pop-up flashes for those kind of shots do so deliberately. By far the most likely scenario, if you ask me, is that they've never bothered to find the setting that turns off auto-flash-popup.
Of course I'm sure there are some photographers who have such a poor grasp of illumination that they think a built-in-flash can light up the action in a sports arena. But I'd expect anyone whe relies on the camera to that extent would leave everything in full-auto settings. You or I might run through all the menu settings, etc., before using a camera for the first time, but that's by no means the norm (Hi, Norm!).
