Sports has truly become one of America’s greatest pastimes. Sports have been played on a small and large scale all over the country as well as in other countries.Many may not understand that there is so much more that go into sports such as,keeping stats. When large companies such as ESPN and CBS sports came along it introduced the world to much more than just sports. These companies were the first to use statistics and analytics among the different sports fields to engage in fan entertainment. In times now statistics have been used in sports to keep data and compare the status of different players. Questions of “who’s the best to play in the game” and “all time leader in points” have been determined and collected through statistics.My research was conducted to show how statistics play an even larger role in sports than one might fully understand. The use of statistics will only grow larger as time goes on and will be very important to the success of sports broadcasting and fan participation in the future.
