Sports Reference, LLC is an American company which operates several sports-related websites, including Baseball-Reference, Pro-Football-Reference, Basketball Reference, and Hockey Reference.[1]
Description
The site also includes sections on college football, college basketball and the Olympics.[2] The sites attempt a comprehensive approach to sports data. For example, Baseball-Reference contains more than 100,000 box scores and Pro-Football-Reference contains data on every scoring play in the National Football League since 1941.[1]
The company, which is based in the Mount Airy neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was founded as Sports Reference in 2004 and was incorporated as Sports Reference LLC in 2007.[3][1][4]
Olympics
Sports Reference added a site for Olympic Games statistics and history in July 2008.[5][6]
The company announced in December 2016 that the Olympics site will be shut down in the near future due to a change in its data licensing agreement.[7] Since that time, data for the 2016 Summer Olympics was added,[8] but the site has not been updated for the 2018 Winter Olympics.[9] The providers of the Olympic data are working with another publisher to create a new website.[7]
