Where can I find Sport Statistics?

Question

Where can I find statistics on the most popular sports played and watch and by what people and peoples favourite sports?

Answer 1

Websites can be bias or give out false information which needs to be check thoroughly, sometimes you need to refer to other references, such as International Sporting Organisations and books, publications, journals and newspapers to validate the truth as well as websites can be put by everyone or anyone on the Internet but has not been check thoroughly or edited properly to see if it is correct. This is the major problem here on the Internet. That is why we need to challenge it and contest it thoroughly before we mislead everyone or anyone of false information.  We need proper reference websites which have proper sources of information as well as bilbliography with Harvard Referencing and proper categorisation.

The best book for Sport Statistics that I know of is absolutely the Chambers Sports factfinder because it has everything on information on sports and it is thoroughly check by everyone.

Here are some websites which I have notice from various questions in the past on Yahoo answers on Sports Statistics which needs to be thoroughly check and properly analyse correctly for not misleading anyone on false informations or false facts or false history and etc.

All these websites needs to be check thoroughly on Intenet or it becomes a global yellow pages of irrelevant information, bias facts or bias information, out of date information on world records and not proper dates to validate it thoroughly which can be misleading to a Growing Global Civilisation.

:

Here are also the websites that can be found on Yahoo answers on Sports Statistics questions and needs to be check thoroughly first and efficiently by everyone before it can be misleading. We need correct facts, correct figures and absolute transparent history.
